Hooray for the rightful Hall of Fame!

Yes, NBA. They did the right thing. “The Worm” will become a Hall of Famer (I hope) in August 2011.

Baseball Hall of Fame, sham. Until Pete Rose is there, MLB Hall is illegitimate. I’m not a “Charlie Hustle” fan. But the leader of all time, come on. If they want to have an additional “Hall of Shame” then Pete could be there too.

Soccer Hall of Fame, farce. Kickers must wear dresses, so they do not enter. Well linemen say quarterbacks should wear dresses too and a lot of quarterbacks came in. Kickers are rare so they don’t come in. Well, until Guy walks into the NFL Hall it’s a sham. Ray Guy should be with his strange teammates (like “The Snake” Stabler should be too). Ray not only changed games with his punts, he also controlled and won games. No, I’m not a fan of the Raiders, although I respect them for being the first wild card team to win it all. At least Jan Stenerud, the field goal kicker, came in. Ray was in more Pro Bowls than Jan.
I haven’t said anything about that.

So the NBA will include Dennis Rodman in its Hall of Fame even though he wore a dress instead of a tux. Remind? It was a beautiful white wedding dress. Dennis, a tattoo artist’s meal ticket. Dennis, addicted to gambling. Dennis outrageous. Even Michael Jordan (who barely sneaked into the Hall) and Phil Jackson couldn’t control the court jester “Worm.” This guy was awesome. Talk about a nose for the ball. He was 6 ‘7 “, big compared to you and me, but not very big below the hole. There aren’t many guys with 7.3 points per game in the NBA Hall. That’s Dennis’s career average in points scored. Six times he averaged more than 15 rebounds per game. Seven times he averaged more than 5 offensive rebounds per game, giving his team another chance to score. Twice he averaged more than 18 ‘limits per game. over 13. Since 1998, when Rodman retired, a guy once averaged over 15 rebounds per game in a season. Dennis almost did it seven years in a row! (He had a 14.9 that blew it.) They’ll tell you what, They say MJ doesn’t win all six of his titles without Scotty Pippen Well, that might be so, but “Air Jordan” could just say that he couldn’t have done it without the “Worm” out of control for 3 years.

Well deserved Dennis. I didn’t think the NBA would do the right thing.

NBA you are legit …
… and also the best to bet. If you have nerves of steel. “I’m ahead, I’m behind, I’m ahead, I’m behind.” And a 20 point lead is nothing.
