Never gets mentioned in the same conversation with other international greats. Do people discount the year he was in the MVP race? Does he make the Hall?

I dont see him making a case, def underrated though
Not HOF.
Greatest shooter ever
He'll get in because he's an international player, and they ALL get in. I mean, he was certainly a better player than Drazen Petrovic, and a lot of other European guys that get in.
That said, I don't like how heavily the international play is rated. Some guys, who weren't even good enough to play in the NBA make it ahead of guys like Kevin Johnson and Mitch Richmond... just doesn't seem right. And I know when guys like Marbury and McGrady and likely Agent Zero are done, their international careers aren't going to be worth $#!T for getting into the hall. They''ll just be viewed as players who went overseason after they couldn't make and NBA roster and people will discount what they do dduring their international careers.
Wasn't he 2nd for MVP that one year?
I think he will, he is 6th all time on 3 pointers made list, while shooting a career 40%. The names leading up to him seem to all be future HOFs being primarily 3 point shooters.

Don't see it. They need to revise the HOF to be only guys who were constantly allstars in the NBA year in and year out.
He will. He had a huge impact in international basketball. People, its Basketball Hall of Fame, NOT NBA hall of game.
