Arguments For Induction
- Stacks up as one of the top two or three bigs in NBN History without much debate. The guy has the pedigree and found himself on just about every possible award somewhere year in, year out.
- Longevity. Towns found himself playing 1,436 games and didn't slow down that much, still putting up a respectable 16/15 stat line with 3.2 blocks per game in his last season.
- 1,132 double doubles. 321 player of the game awards. 8 All-League First teams and a bunch of 2nds and 3rds. Purely dominant.

Arguments Against Induction
- Only one championship? That's about all I've got.
- He retired before he died in TC?!?!?! Maybe?!

Vote carefully, and remember to throw out arguments regardless of which side you're on. This should be a discussion that eventually gets the league to the proper decision on him. Your vote can also be retracted after it's been cast if you feel like switching to the other side based on the arguments that have been made. To be inducted, a player needs 70% and to be considered in a later class they need 50%. Vote carefully.

***BONUS - Don't forget that everyone who votes gets $25 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $25***

[lynchcats]

My biggest draft regret. He's an obvious yes, it's just a matter of which team should he get the brass ring with. I think because he spent the most years in Detroit (9), I think that makes the most sense of who he should be voted in as.

[ucfinfan86]

Easy yes, but harder to pick which team. His time with the Pistons was before I was here, but he spent most of his years there so I'll choose Detroit.

[vanimmer]

defenilty one of the all time best
I had the pleasure of having him on my team for 2 seasons. He was a beast on the boards and could score like hel

Voting him in for the Pistons though due to the amount of seasons he starred for them.

[frosty]

Raptors legend yes. Happy to have had him and Beal for that bit

[pjclippers]

Definitely one of the top bigs in league history - spent most of his career with the Pistons and had his best years there so voted for him to be enshrined as a member of Detroit

[JCog72]

No doubter, the toughest question is if he should go in as a King or as a Piston...I’ll go with DET though. He could do it all. Score/rebound/block...rare and dominant

[don1955]

didn't win but 1 ship, but he was a real force

[A. Silver]

Yes, he was the big man who did everything and possibly the best big in league history. Maybe Webber or Duncan was better? Hard to say from so long ago.

[Charles]

Easily a yes, one of the best big men the league has ever seen and he has a ton of rewards and the stats to back it up. Who knows, he may have won even more if he didn't fuck Buckeye over with the last contract deal where he went low XD. One of the craziest things I remember here in recent history.

[verysilentone]

Definite yes. Kinda wanted to vote Kings to get three in one year, but for me easy choice was Pistons.

[bigthunder]

Possible the greatest big in league history because of his longevity and ability to produce even at the later stages of his career. He was so balanced across the board. Great defender and scorer and his did it efficiently. He could block shots and pass. I got him for the last three years of his career but he still produced at a high level.

[carmelo115]

yes pistons

[Donny - Bucks]

$25 to Charles for best contribution
