The Vitals

As usual, provided below is a short rundown of each player with their career and peak stats, as well as their career and peak fantasy-related value. VOFRP stands for Value Over Fantasy Replacement Player and, just like its name implies, is a measure of how much value a player had compared to a mythical free agent who would have been available in the average fantasy league at the time. Please vote for the player(s) you feel belong in the fantasy hall of fame.

Which I think was picked up as a pilot this season by CBS.

With fantasy basketball right around the corner (and with Yahoo saying that fantasy basketball begins NOW), the time feels right for an update on our fantasy hall of fame vote. To recap, we’ve worked our way through 7 seasons (2002-2008) over the summer and here is where the vote currently stands.

The HOFers

Hakeem Olajuwon (95%)
Karl Malone (92%)
Michael Jordan (85%)
Gary Payton (83%)
Reggie Miller (81%)
John Stockton (78%)
Scottie Pippen (76%)
Patrick Ewing (72%)
Chris Webber (71%)
David Robinson (71%)

If the vote ended today (which it doesn’t) and the cut-off was 2/3 of the vote (which is slightly more lenient than the real Hall of Fame, but this is the Internet and all), then 10 players would be inducted into our fantasy hall of fame. Leading the list is Hakeem Olajuwon with 95% of the vote (37 out of 39 votes). No one deserves to be in this HOF more than the Dream, oh right, except for Michael Jordan, who has 7 of the top 20 fantasy seasons of all time. Shame on the 15% of you who didn’t vote for him.

But Olajuwon really was one of the best – if not best – player on this list not named Michael Jordan. He averaged – AVERAGED – a 22 and 11 with 3 blocks a game over his career. Interestingly, David Robinson averaged a 21 and 10.6 with 3 blocks a game over his career, but has gotten 24% less of the vote than Olajuwon. I guess that puts Kelly Dwyer’s post about David Robinson into perspective.

And here are the players who received at least one vote but probably won’t make the cut:

Mitch Richmond (44%)
Latrell Sprewell (38%)
Tim Hardaway (35%)
Mookie Blaylock (33%)
Anfernee Hardaway (28%)
Shawn Kemp (25%)
Glen Rice (24%)
Vlade Divac (24%)
Nick Van Exel (18%)
Robert Horry (15%)
Derrick Coleman (14%)
Shareef Abdur-Rahim (13%)
Allan Houston (11%)
Glenn Robinson (11%)
Keith Van Horn (11%)
Jalen Rose (10%)
Toni Kukoc (9%)
Terrell Brandon (8%)
Terry Porter (8%)
Horace Grant (8%)
Tom Gugliotta (8%)
Clifford Robinson (8%)
None of these guys (8%)
Mark Jackson (6%)
Jamal Mashburn (6%)
Doug Christie (6%)
Dan Majerle (5%)
Danny Manning (5%)
Rod Strickland (5%)
Jim Jackson (5%)
Charles Oakley (4%)
Damon Stoudamire (4%)
Christian Laettner (3%)
Kendall Gill (3%)
Shawn Bradley (3%)
Kenny Anderson (3%)
Anthony Mason (2%)
Kevin Willis (2%)

You could make a reasonable case for any of the guys on the list down to probably… Robert Horry. Horry has the name recognition and maybe even belongs in the actual HOF (if you believe in that postseason crap) but has nowhere near the fantasy career to be a HOF guy. Personally, I’m especially fond of Mitch Richmond, who was pure shooting gold for most of his career.

But hey, the vote ain’t over yet. Nels and I have been busy working on a little project you might have heard of called the Four Fingers Draft Guide, but I plan to run through a few more fantasy HOF votes before the NBA regular season begins. We have to make it to at least the year 2000. No HOF is complete without Charles Barkley.

Until then, the vote for past years remains open. Mitch Richmond for President!

Vote yay or nay on Chris Webber
Vote yay or nay on Shareef Abdur-Rahim

Now, presenting the remainder of the class of 2008 (and what a sad, sad class it is).* It’ll get better, trust me, but if you feel like any of these guys listed below deserve to be inducted into the Fantasy Hall of Fame, get your vote on. You can always vote for none of the above if you feel like none of these guys are HOF worthy.

The Vitals

If you are curious, I’ve included a short rundown of each player with their career and peak stats, as well as their career and peak fantasy-related value.

Derek Anderson
Seasons: 11
Career Stats: 12 pts, 3.2 rebs, 3.4 ast, 1.1 stl, 0.1 blks
Peak Stats (Best 3 years): 15.3 pts, 4.0 rebs, 3.9 ast, 1.4 stl, 0.2 blks, 1.2 threes
Career Fantasy Value: 24.8 VOFRP (average of 2.3 per season)
Peak Fantasy Value: 5.1 VOFRP per season
Peak Fantasy Rank (Season): 44 (1999), 52 (2000), 55 (2002)

I actually liked owning Derek Anderson back in the day when he was on the Blazers. He did a little bit of everything and was sneakily decent in my opinion, which of course doesn’t add up to anything close to the HOF.

Penny Hardaway
Seasons: 14
Career Stats: 15.2 pts, 4.5 rebs, 5.0 ast, 1.6 stl, 0.4 blks, 0.7 threes
Peak Stats (Best 3 years): 19.5 pts, 4.7 rebs, 7.0 ast, 2.0 stl, 0.5 blks, 0.9 threes
Career Fantasy Value: 55.5 VOFRP (average of 3.4 per season)
Peak Fantasy Value: 8.4 VOFRP per season
Peak Fantasy Rank (Season): 5 (1995), 12 (1994), 19 (1996)

At his peak, Hardaway was a very good fantasy player (although he is not quite as spectacular as Little Penny would have me remember). He was consistently a 2nd round fantasy pick until he was forced to have microfracture surgery on his left knee at the age of 30. That basically was the end of his effectiveness both as an actual player and a fantasy player.

Robert Horry
Seasons: 16
Career Stats: 7.0 pts, 4.8 rebs, 2.1 ast, 1.0 stl, 0.9 blks, 0.7 threes
Peak Stats (Best 3 years): 9.4 pts, 5.0 rebs, 2.8 ast, 1.4 stl, 1.0 blks, 0.9 threes
Career Fantasy Value: 32.7 VOFRP (average of 2.0 per season)
Peak Fantasy Value: 4.9 VOFRP per season
Peak Fantasy Ranks: 31 (1994), 47 (1995), 59 (1997)

+1 for a 16 year career. Minus infinity for being a top 100 fantasy player in exactly 5 of those seasons.

Damon Stoudamire
Seasons: 13
Career Stats: 13.4 pts, 3.5 rebs, 6.1 ast, 1.1 stl, 0.1 blks, 1.4 threes
Career Fantasy Value: 44.4 VOFRP (average of 3.4 per season)
Peak Stats (Best 3 years): 18.9 pts, 4.1 reb, 8.7 ast, 1.5 stl, 0.2 blk, 1.8 threes
Peak Fantasy Value: 6.5 VOFRP per season
Peak Fantasy Ranks: 25 (1995), 32 (1997), 33 (1996)

It’s easy to forget this now, but Stoudamire busted out immediately after becoming the first ever draft pick by the Raptors, winning the rookie of the year award in 1996. His peak three seasons were his first three in the league, where he averaged that 18.9 point 8.7 assist line above. It looked like Stoudamire was in for a perennial all-star caliber career, but then he got traded to those famous Jail Blazers, ended up going to rehab for a few marijuana incidents, got benched for almost an entire season, then got kicked to the curb by the Blazers and slowly petered out of the league over the last few years.

Eric Snow
Seasons: 13
Career Stats: 6.8 pts, 2.5 reb, 5.0 ast, 1.2 stl, 0.1 blk, 0.1 threes
Career Fantasy Value: 13.0 VOFRP (average of 1.0 per season)
Peak Stats (Best 3 years): 10 pts, 3.4 reb, 6.9 ast, 1.8 stl, 0.1 blk, 0.1 threes
Peak Fantasy Value: 4.3 VOFRP per season
Peak Fantasy Ranks: 51 (2002), 80 (1998), 86 (1999)

Remember that year Eric Snow decided to score 13 points a game for some strange reason? That has to be one of the flukier fantasy years in recent memory.

Jason Williams
Seasons: 10
Career Stats: 11.4 pts, 2.4 reb, 6.3 ast, 1.3 stl, 0.1 blk, 1.7 threes
Career Fantasy Value: 32.2 VOFRP (average of 3.2 per season)
Peak Stats (Best 3 years): 12.5 pts, 2.6 reb, 7.7 ast, 1.4 stl, 0.1 blk, 1.8 threes
Peak Fantasy Value: 4.5 VOFRP per season
Peak Fantasy Ranks: 54 (2002), 56 (2003), 58 (2001)

One of the interesting things about this HOF vote is being able to take a close look at the stats for guys whose actual performance diverts wildly from the image in your head. For some reason, I remember Williams as the white chocolate assist-machine with a strong fantasy game. In reality, he was a decent but never great number 1 fantasy PG for maybe 3 out of his 10 seasons and was constantly hurt and missing games with injuries.

*If you’ve felt we’ve missed someone, leave a comment or send an email letting us know. Sam Cassell will be in the class of 2009, since he was finally waived after being traded to the Kings this past season. Antoine Walker could have been counted in this class since he didn’t play in 08-09, but he has yet to “officially” called it a career.

The Bias

Abdur-Rahim has to be the poster child for good players who are stuck on bad teams. After being drafted by the Grizzles in 1996, he moved on to the Hawks in 2001, followed by the Blazers and finally the Kings (where he made the playoffs for the first time in his career… in 2006).

With post moves and a solid jumper, Abdur-Rahim came fully loaded with very good all-around offensive game. HoopsHype called him a “fake master” – but he could also do a little of this back in the day. In addition, Abdur-Rahim was money in the bank when it came to percentages, he finished his career shooting 47% from the floor and 81% from the line. It was too bad his defense was never quite up to the same standards.

Like our first HOF nominee, Chris Webber, Abdur-Rahim’s knees told him it was time to quit playing the game. Somewhat unlike Webber (in my opinion anyway), his career doesn’t scream HOF. He was very good for a long time, but even in his best year in 1998-99, he was not a top-10 fantasy player. His best season puts him at 533 on the all-time list, which is about 450 spots below Chris Webber’s peak. His game adjusted VOFRP is a very good 58.1, but it came from a sustained 10 year stretch of being a solid 2nd-4th round pick rather than any kind of fantasy dominance.

With Webber’s fantasy hall of fame induction looking unlikely, Shareef Abdur-Rahim’s chances of making the fantasy HOF seem about as good as his chances of making the real thing.
