KJ that dude.Arguably the 2nd or 3rd best pg of the 90's.Maybe even the best if it wasn't for injuries.

Only dudes in his class was Stockton and Gary Payton, but he could do what they did, and he was a better scorer than both of them.

He had a three year run where he averaged 22 ppg 11apg and shot over 50% from the filed.Chris Paul did it one year and nikkaz started hugging his nuts.KJ did it 3 consecutive years, almost 4.He only averaged 20 and 10 that 4th year:ehh:

Brand is held back by the fact that he never played for any memorable teams, and he spent all of those years in Chicago and L.A. playing for lottery squads. Hell, if Brand went into the HOF we might as well start to look at the resumes of Baron Davis and Stephon Marbury.

A guy from Brand's class who I think has a sneaky chance to get in (even though I wouldn't put him in there) is Shawn Marion. I think he has a very good case, but people probably don't want to hear it.

Not only that but the fact that I don't think he was ever considered a top 5 or hell maybe not even a top 10 player at any point in his career. To me you shouldn't be in the hall of fame if you aren't looked at as a top player at any point of your career. This ain't baseball. With basketball I think the eye test goes far.

plus, most of his career was in what was considered to be a weak nba era
