An elite player for almost his entire career, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a contributor who was always at the top of his game when his team was competitive, spending a lot of time in the playoffs with contending teams. Will this be enough for him to get into the NBN Hall of Fame?

Arguments For Induction
- We're talking about a big who was always a 4+ stock big, even well into his mid-to-late 30s which is absolutely ridiculous when you consider him being among the best or maybe even the best rebounder in league history? The guy was very unique in what he brought to the table on the defensive/rebounding end.
- KAJ was a really efficient, high-end offensive big for a large part of his career as well. 43% is nothing to laugh at especially when you consider he was 83% from the free throw line and he was pretty much a guarantee to get 17+ points per night until the very end of his career.
- He's a winner as a 2x NBN Champion, 7x All-League teams including 2x First Team, and 12 All-Star Game appearances with over 900 double-doubles for his career. Truly, truly one of the more historic bigs we've had and a player that so many different contenders benefitted from having on their roster.
Arguments Against Induction
- It's a little redundant to talk about arguments against induction when it comes to guys with these careers, but the usual "he turned the ball over sometimes" is always a good one!
- 0/4 from three for his career would be the worst career 3P% we would've inducted into the NBN Hall of Fame.
- He bounced around a lot outside of his tenure with the Nuggets. 6 teams over his career!
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***
