| #4 Posted on 2.4.05 0142.13 | Instant Rating: 4.52 | A few things I'd like to point out. And I'm not entirely sure I agree or disagree with this decision, but here are some probable reasons why he won't be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. 1. As was mentioned earlier, he oftentimes was the best player on a bad team. His Hawks teams missed the playoffs on at least four occasions, and even when they made the playoffs, they didn't make it past the second round. I'm not saying 100% of the blame should be placed on 'Nique for that, but... well, Hall of Fame voters like guys who can win championships. And Wilkins never even came close. 2. He had a reputation for being selfish with the ball, which is probably fair because he averaged only 2.5 assists for his entire career.

With nobody to pass to, nobody to go to in the clutch, somebody has to take the shot.
Why in one breath is it "they had nobody" and the next is talking about "he didnt pass"? Who is he supposed to be passing to? | BOSsportsfan34
