1,114 double double's later, Jayden Nicholson retired as an extremely high-level contributor at the age of 37. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Leader in Double Doubles (1114)
Arguments For Induction
- Nicholson retires as the league's career leader in blocks, rebounds, and double doubles with 1563 games of dominance throughout his career. He was a double double average over 1,320 games from his third year on as a consistently dominant big.
- 2x DPOY, 1x Champion, 4x All-Leaguer, 11x All-Defensive Team, 6x All-Star... this is one of the more storied defenders and PF's in general over league history. Guy did it all wherever he went deep into his 30s!
- Nicholson had quite a few very quality years as an offensive contributor while always guaranteeing you 4+ stocks and 13+ rebounds. There's not many bigs who do that WHILE being a consistent 16+ PPG producer including 6 years over 18 and a couple into the 20s. Frankly, I think we're talking about one of the best ever to do it.
Arguments Against Induction
- He was not exactly an efficient scorer for a large portion of his career and definitely struggled to hit his free throws from time to time, unfortunately. The offense was not there for a large portion of his career.
- He had some handling issues with volume as a 2+ TOPG player for a little bit of time there. Considering the lack of efficiency for time, turnovers definitely don't help.
- With that type of longevity on what ended up being a majority of contending teams, the fact that he only won one title over 20 seasons is a little bit shocking if you ask me!
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***
