About Mark Aguirre, JonoBoy wrote:
  I heard this man on a podcast, it's stunning that Aguirre, the first Mexican-American Star in the NBA, isn't in the Hall. Stunning that he's not there. Carrying Dallas for 7 years, taking a team of almost good enough and rejects into the playoffs in 1984 and a playoff win, yet NOT all-NBA????? (looking it up, guys named Kurt Nimphius, Pat Cummings, and Bill Garrett started, none more than CBA players...). 2 championships, but based simply on what he did in Dallas and DePaul he's a Hall player easily. 25 ppg and 8 rpg in College, then 25 and 6 in Dallas on an expansion team back when they had it hard, only player in NBA history with 20 ppg average and 900+ games played and not in the Hall, only player with 20 ppg and 700+ games and 2 titles and not in the Hall. What a joke, how can he not be in, sounds political..

  Why isn't first team all defense being acknowledged??? I feel first team should be at least 2 or 3 points and second team gets 1 or 1.5.

  I hated how coach kenvin loughery treated him, and there was never any explanations. I wish he had more support from his teammates, fans and upper management. Was my favorite player before derrick rose. would like to see hall of fame induction.
