2043 Hall of Fame Nominee - Ryan Ritter

[Donny - Bucks]

Originally mentioned in Roger's initial draft overview thread as a 'Potential All-Star', Ryan Ritter became a whole lot more than that as one of the most decorated and dominant bigs in league history. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Arguments For Induction
- Even until the end of his career, Ritter's offensive production was among the best in the league for the entirety of his career. 14 years of 20+ PPG to start off his career while never being a sub-2 TOPG player and always being a consistent 13-14 RPG and 4-5 stock player for a large part of his career. Ritter never had any significant flaws and by the end of his rookie deal, he was already one of the best players in the league. 8x All-League player, 3x DPOY, and a Playoff MVP in one of his 2 titles to boot!

- As a career 4.5 stock average player with an unbelievable ability to defend, Ritter put up some of the craziest stat lines throughout the entirety of a season that the NBN has ever seen:

2032 - 23.9/14.2/1.8/5.8 stocks on .441/.810/.431
2033 - 24.0/14.5/1.9/5.7 stocks on .450/.815/.460
2034 - 24.4/14.2/2.4/5.5 stocks on .459/.790/.426
2035 - 26.1/14.4/2.7/4.6 stocks on .453/.834/.431
2036 - 22.9/13.5/1.6/5.3 stocks on .454/.824/.444
2037 - 25.6/13.8/2.3/5.1 stocks on .466/.805/.419
2038 - 24.1/14.6/2.2/5.5 stocks on .460/.783/.433

Absolutely incredible.

- Finally, let's just talk about the efficiency levels. All but ONE year of Ritter's career was over 40% from three and he was a consistent 45-46% player for pretty much the entirety of his career. Ritter's build ended up being like a 99 MyPlayer with all of the badges essentially, that's how good he was.

Arguments Against Induction
- He wasn't much of a passer as a pretty much 2.0 APG player for most of his career, with a definite propensity to shoot rather than pass the ball... can't blame him on that one!

- He only got ONE triple double over his entire career even as an elite stock getter, what a shame!

- Only 5 Player of the Month awards? FBB really did not appreciate his ability with the respect he deserved, honestly, I feel like he could've been a 3, 4, 5 time MVP.

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***

[frosty]

Yes obviously. Does he really only have 1 mvp? Fbb really is flawed lol

[pjclippers]

Yes Yes 1000 times Yes

[yourkers15]

Easy yes. Best big man in NBN history. Was able to beat the flawed system and win an MVP.

Credit to John1974 for building a beast. Sorry he fucked you raw in the end though.

[Retired]

Yeah a definite yes

[HF]

There really shouldn’t be any negatives posted lol dude was a beast. His finals run with us showed how good he was.

Thanks for the memories Ritter!

Kind of a sad story. There was a GM here, rr1582 , who did what I do now(more so what I did several months ago) early on in the league(pre reboot). He moved the draft, helped with the draft, graded articles, did all the banking and overall helped shape the early league in a pretty big way. DId a lot to help Silver make things run smooth. As time went on he got less active and as I have the last few months took a less active role in the leagues day to day operations. I guess he had health problems that made him less active. Anyway a few years ago he stopped posting for a bit, don't htink it was terribly long but turns out he had passed away. His real life name was Ryan Ritter. Fitting he turned out so good. I did not think he would, but he was made as a huge boom or bust player and dude went fuckng nuts here. 



Here is his obituary: www.wennerfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Ryan-Ritter-2/?fbclid=IwAR3m_J6E_KvaYU-ByPxCcaoOCVUXIOMfD0w0PB8hMIFDNdmlFEYHNL7Miuk#!/TributeWall

[Rog]

Also this is an easy yes. Seriously one of the best bigs I've ever seen in a league that wasn't in the first couple years. One of the All-Time GOATs.

Ah thanks for sharing. That is quite unfortunate but glad the league honored him this way.

[John1974]

[dash]

Yes, crazy he only got the one MVP because he was clearly the best player every year
