That stuck out to me too, lol. I mean the man is good and he'll be in the conversation when his career is up but he's not THAT good to say he'll be a lock.
Lock. It's the basketball, not NBA hall of fame, which is why even guys like Grant Hill will get in,
2x NBA champ, 4x all star, Roy, 2 all NBA teams, fiba MVP, euro basket MVP, Spanish cup MVP, Spanish league MVP, 7 euro player of e year awards, and 6 gold 3 silver and 1 bronze medals.
hes the most decorated international player ever, easily surpassing Dirk, Vlade, Sabonis, and Manu.
He's a first ballot LOCK because its about your whole body of basketball work. Sure he isn't seen as great as many on the NbA level but his international career with his nba career isn't close to being matched by any euro which is why he'll go in as soon as possible.
