No it isn't. That's extremely tough to get into as well. Some years no one gets voted in at all.
Football is the easiest. They HAVE to induct a minimum of 6 each year.
Does Mutombo Deserve the Hall of Fame

Strong points DiamondDeuce. It's the Basketball Hall of Fame. That's why Vivian Stringer's getting in this year and deservedly so. Plus other's like Meadowlark Lemon, Curly, Sweetwater Clifton, etc. In addition good point in regards to his humanitarian efforts. Although we like to say we're only supposed to look at his on court production ...we don't.
The collegiate careers of NBA players aren't considered. Once you become a pro that's what you're judged on.
The other categories are totally separate ones with different voting panels, for coaches, international players, AMATEURS, other contributors and women.
Mutombo
as entertaining as some of these HOF polls can be, they should all really die.
the basketball HOF is tainted because it was run by an MLB guy for WAY TOO LONG.
how much sense does it make to have an MLB guy running what is supposed to be the most hallowed place for basketball?
with all the EXTREMELY poor inductions made during his tenure, how much sense can the ones that follow make?

Re: Mutombo
Whoever's "running" it has nothing to do with who the voters select. The choices aren't made by one person.
And who are the "extremely poor inductions?"

We'll find out in 5 years.

Re: Mutombo
And???? Eligible NBA players of stature are basically nominated automatically, and the appropriate people then vote on them. The above "nomination process" particularly refers to the more obscure or tangential candidates for nomination, in the areas that don't include NBA players, like amateur, women, international, coaches and contributors.
You still haven't answered what these "extremely poor inductions" were, and how they differed from any other HOF inductions (or exclusions) that have stirred up debate.
Doesn't really matter who's in charge or voting, someone's always gonna bitch when their "binky" doesn't get in or when someone they hate does. Seems like most of the people that need to be in the Hall are pretty much there, or will be. It's not that complicated a process to get the best inducted, while the borderline cases have to wait their turn, as with every Hall.

Maybe because he's done more for his people than the 'black american' basketball players.
