Arguments For Induction
- Up for the Hall of Fame is the NBN's all-time leader in blocks (3772), rebounds (15944), and most double doubles in a season with 75! 8x All-Leaguer (4 first team's), 8x All-Defensive, 3x DPOY, 8x All-Star. Helluva career.

- Dude was as consistent as they come and dominated the league for quite a while. One of the league's most dominant rebounders ever as well as a feared defender for many, many years.

- The beauty of what Allen brought to the table was his ability to score and have the ball in his hands constantly without turning the ball over. 1.5 TOPG over his career as one of the few big men who could handle volume without any turnover issues.

Arguments Against Induction
- He wasn't a crazy efficient offensive player and didn't pass the ball very well. While he didn't turn the ball over and rebounded the ball well, outside of a few small sample sizes, Allen struggled to score efficiently all things considered.

- Allen's awards came as a very strong big in a very weak big league, which makes his resume strong but also a little bit underwhelming when you look at things for him compared to some of the other bigs that have been inducted. 

- No rings at all, which is super surprising considering he played for many contending teams over his career. He didn't do a ton in terms of POTW's or POTM's and wasn't much of a triple double machine which is surprising considering how good he was as a defensive big.

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 $100 and the person that makes the best argument or contributes to the discussion the best will be awarded an extra $100***

Think the accolades are more than enough despite having no rings. Did have multiple 20+ ppg years also but he’s really about the defense. 3 x DPOY is very impressive. Voted yes.

[Michael]

Wow didn’t even realize I was voting for a Pacers guy. Didn’t realize this franchise had good players lmao woohoo!

[SpikeLee14]

He’s currently the standard for a big. Guy was dominant. Going yes

[ucfinfan86]

Yes. Him and Mitchell were the top 2 centers for most of the 2020s

[vanimmer]

easy yes

[cop5414]

Yes. In the record book and enough awards that I'm too lazy to read them all.

[josephballin11]

Goat Mentor, ez yes.

[yourkers15]

He was so good. Owns records and was a constant top big in the league. As easy of a choice there is.

[A. Silver]

Much easier yes than Morant was. Allen was one of the first defensive stalwarts in the league, and also provided above average offense for his position.

[John1974]

Another easy yes

[carlos]

easy yes. Maybe the best defensive big man we've had and crazy longevity. He was still a solid rotation big when he retired and could've won a ring making the rounds as a bench big with contending teams had he stayed in the league a little longer

[mcmuslim]

Shame he never won but easy yes

[pjclippers]

Easy yes - one of the better bigs in league history

[leflop]

Those are some great accolades and he still won them. Those stats are no slouch either. Yes for me
