Horford was always a first ballot strictly bc the B2B college ships

You can’t spell “Hall of Fame” without “Al”
Makes you think

Jrue, Jaylen, Jayson, and Al all going to the HoF 🥲

I think this championship puts him firmly in the HOF now. He already had a pretty good shot due to having a long career of sustained success and those two back to back Florida national championships but now it’s 100% that he gets in.
I also think this championship solidifies Jrue as a first ballot HOF entrant. Long successful career, consistently one of the best defensive guards in the league for at least a decade, integral part of 2 championships in all phases of the game, and an insane amount of respect from basically every player, coach, and media member in the league.

He’s always borderline because of his college success and multiple all star/nba appearances. Now that he has a ring his position should be solidified. I think the better question is if he does make the HoF, do we retire his number? He’s gonna be with us for more than 6 years starting next year, which is the KG threshold for minimum time spent; he will most likely be a first ballot HoFer and he does have 1 all star appearance and 1 all nba 2nd defense with us, which is a lot less than what KG had. I think if we repeat next year it is very likely he gets his number retired, otherwise it’s still a solid debate

If we win again. He gets his number retired for sure.

People forget he’s won a few international medals as well. So he’s had quite a bit of success at all levels, collegiate, pro, and international.

My dyslexic ass took so fucking long understand what this meant but yeah big Al definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, and the fact that he’s not retiring this season and will have another opportunity to win another ring oh my God fuck this this is art

Personally think he should get in pretty easily due to it being the basketball HOF

It’s the basketball hall of fame not the nba hall of fame. Dude is a sure fire hall of famer. 2 ncaa titles and an nba title.

I think if you tried to argue he was borderline with two NCAA championships and his NBA career, you would be wrong but it’s a somewhat defensible take.
Now that he has a ring, I don’t think there’s any debate.

I mean he’s a 2 time NCAA champion and a NBA champion that should almost be guaranteed hall of fame especially since he’s been an all star

BIG AL deserves HOF 100%
Al’s reaction: I ain’t retired yet!
