Current NBA HOF'ers
View gallery to see all currently enshrined NBA HOF'ers. If I have an autograph of the member, it will be attached.
I view the little gray boxes as a challenge however, I'm going to go on record and declare that basketball has by far the most inane HOF of any sport. I originally started with people that have earned their enshrinement based on NBA achievements alone but have since expanded my collecting into anyone that is enshrined, worthy or not. I don't care about executives, college accomplishments or the WNBA but since the basketball HOF has included those from those areas, so too have I.
As of 12/27/17, I have 139/354 = 49% of possible basketball HOF'ers.
