Reggie Miller is known for his clutch shooting and longevity! Despite his career accomplishments, is he overrated? Personally I think he is under rated because if you saw him in his prime, you would see that he was one of the best two guards ever to play the game--just ask the +New York Knicks. He is certainly the best player to don an +Indiana Pacers uniform, that's for sure. The only thing that drops his stock if the fact that he never won an +NBA championship; however, you cannot hold that against him. After all, he did have legends such as +Michael Jordan, +Scottie Pippen, +Kobe Bryant, and +Shaquille O'Neal in his way.

+Tracy McGrady went on a stretch where he was one of the best players in the +NBA despite his injury troubles! Would you vote him into the Basketball Hall of Fame? You can't take away what he has done on the court with his seven All Star appearances and his two scoring titles, but I have to agree with JR. Once he left the +Toronto Raptors, his career basically was over. He ran himself ragged on the +Orlando Magic when he carried the team on his back leading it in not scoring, but also rebounds and assists. By the time he joined +Yao Ming in the +Houston Rockets, he was already used up and was just a shell of his former self.
Add the fact that he never got past the first round of the playoffs in his entire career also tarnishes any chance of him ever being even considered for Hall of Fame recognition. However, there is one factor that may aid in his favor and that was he was possibly one of successful NBA players to be drafted straight out of high school. Tracy can be considered as a pioneer in that regard joining the likes of All Stars +LeBron James, +Kobe Bryant, +Kevin Garnett, and +Dwight Howard to name a few. So in that regard, McGrady should have some Half of Fame consideration, because he was part of a select few that literally changed the game. What do you think?

It was probably one of the greatest moments in not only American history, but in the 20th century. Relive the "I Have a Dream" speech which celebrates its 50th anniversary. So much has happened since that monumental speech and although there still remain problems, we as a society have come far since then. There is now an African American president of the United States--something that would not have been even conceived of as happening during King's day. The dream seems to have finally happen, so we think; however, let us not forget this moment for if we don't remember our history, we will be doomed to repeat it.
