Just a nitpick...there is no "NBA Hall of Fame." There is a Basketball Hall of Fame.
That being said, DWade doesn't not belong there...yet.

Thanks, Sultan. Amended accordingly.
I love the poll, but question the timing. What, you couldn't find enough NCAA games on TV today?
He has all the credentials, but he has to keep playing at or near the level he is for another 5-10 years.
- NBA Finals MVP
- NBA Finals Champion
- NBA Scoring Champion
And it's just the basketball Hall of Fame, not the NBA Hall of Fame right? If so these credentials count as well:
- Bronze Olympic Medal
- Gold Olympic Medal
- Final Four

I was thinking the same thing... With all the games on today and 4-6 years premature.
Hahaha and isn't the tournament in your city?
For that reason, I like both the poll and the timing!

OK...if you REEAAALLYYY want a nitpick, it isn't a "pro basketball hall of fame" either. Just "basketball hall of fame." College coaches are in there too.
LeBron is the NBA's god right now, but if they both retired tomorrow Dwyane would be in the HOF before he would.
Needs at least three more all star years but he is close

Are you serious? I like Wade, but there's no way he would go before Lebron right now.
Off Topic I know, but is DW the best player to come out of college in the NBA right now?
I would say definitly. I am curious as to why people are saying no. What more does he need, a documented miracle? No, thats sainthood.
Who will be better at the end Dwayne or Durant?
Don't question the timing! With so much NCAA overload, I had a thought about the last great dominant player at MU and his place in NBA history.
The 3G is really congested at the HP and this Murray State team is at times frustrating to watch!
Haven't seen the purple wave yet but Butler and New Mexico are well-represented so far.
Saw a Butch Lee jersey and some Converse MU shorts as well as a DJ shirt.
He has a similar impact on the league as David Robinson did. He will put up numbers better than Scottie Pippen (who I think will be unanimous this year), but he will probably not get to 6 rings.
He has a very nice resume built up so far. If he can win a regular season MVP, he will be close to a lock. I think he will end up in the Hall barring any big injuries.
