Back this season, we all know that Carter is the oldest player in the NBA. He is now 465,438+0 years old-it is not easy to continue playing. Considering that he has averaged only 5.4 points, 2.4 rebounds 1.3 assists so far, all the data are the lowest in his career, and Carter is likely to announce his retirement at the end of the season. So, will Carter, who has never been to the finals, be admitted to the Hall of Fame after he retires?
The answer to this question is yes. On BBR (a well-known foreign data website), the probability of Carter being elected to the Hall of Fame after retiring is 1.000%, which is not difficult to understand, because Hall of Fame players do not only consider the honor of a player, but the contribution of a player to basketball is the most important measure, and Carter undoubtedly meets this point.
First, his dunk. As we all know, Carter may be the most perfect dunk player in NBA history. His stretching, jumping and difficulty in movement are perfect. Take the slam dunk contest in 2000 as an example. At that time, the slam dunk contest was not held for three years because of its low popularity, but Carter almost saved the slam dunk contest by himself and brought back the popularity of the event. To this day, there are still fans who claim that the world is alive.
In addition, Carter's career data accumulation has definitely reached the standards of the Hall of Fame. During the 20 years in NBA, Carter scored 24,788 points, 6,423 rebounds and 4,564 assists, ranking 23rd in history. Behind him, Iverson, Buckley, gary payton and others have already been selected into the Hall of Fame, but there are only 600 people who can score 24,000 points, 6,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists, plus Carter's history.
Finally, Carter's ball products are also a big advantage for him to be elected to the Hall of Fame. Carter's 20-year career has never been lower among his teammates. He is not a player with cancer, or even the opposite. Carter also won the Best Teammate Award in the 20 16 season, which undoubtedly helped the Hall of Fame judges to evaluate Carter. At the same time, members of the Hall of Fame usually have letters of introduction. Judging from Carter's popularity, it must be true.
All in all, Carter's election to the Hall of Fame is almost certain, even if he didn't win the championship at the end of his career. Of course, at this stage, we all hope that Carter can play for another year or two. He also said last summer that he could play for a few more years, hoping that Carter could join a team with championship strength in his next career, not to mention the championship, and at least fulfill his dream of entering the finals for many years.
