AI and VC yes. Iverson has way too many individual accolades NOT to get in, also had a huge effect on hip-hop culture in basketball. Vince's multiple all-star game appearances, slam dunk contest win, myriad of highlights, popularity, gold medal and all-nba appearances should secure him a spot as well.
EDIT: On second thought I think Tmac gets in tooLast edited by Xixak; Mon Aug 26, 2013, 05:36 PM.

Tmac's prime was too short so I doubt he gets in.
VC was not once in top 10 voting for MVP, TMac was top 10 6 times and top 5 twice. He's a 2 time scoring champ, to Vince Carter's 0.
Vince Carter was voted All-NBA 2nd team once, and All-NBA 3rd team once. Now looking at T-Mac, he has been on All-NBA 1st team twice, All-NBA 2nd team twice, and All-NBA 3rd team twice. He's had a much better career overall and is A LOT more deserving.

VC is an 8 time Allstar, Tmac is a 7 time all star. They each have 1 regular season award-Vince getting ROY, Tmac getting MIP. So based on that its pretty much a wash. But that's not where TMac stops.

I think AI is the only worthy guy of the bunch and if I had a vote I would only vote for him. But, I think the Hall is a bit too relaxed, so therefore I think all three will make it.
TMac is a 50/50 call but he was an all-star 7 times.. and I believe a scoring leader a couple of times. His knock was that he never got past the first round in the playoffs which is a big deal and that's what makes it 50/50.
Vince had a better career overall than TMac so if TMac gets in, then Vince definitely gets in.
AI should be a first ballot Hall of Famer. He may have ruffled too many feathers in his hey day so I doubt he will get in on the first ballot, but the only reason he fails to get in is if they found out he was on PED's or gambled on the game.

All three deserve to get in. Whether VC and T-Mac actually make it is the better question.Twitter - @thekid_it

I checked BBR and there are actually 22 players that are in the 18K/5K/4K club. The guys that aren't in the hall yet other than TMac are Pierce, Lebron, Garnett, Vince, Kobe, and Allen.
Each one of those guys have had playoff success.
I think he'll make it but it will be a close call.

Iverson is obvious, the other two might have to wait. But I think eventually all of them will be in.
