KG sucks. I don't care if he ever comes back in any shape or form.

I'd retire Jimmy Buckets jersey.

Actually, that would be amazing, hang The Wally's jersey, hang Love's and hang Jimmy's, just to piss of KG.

It’s honestly kind of sad that after 15 years here and his extreme loyalty to MN, we don’t have an obvious option. Some franchise.

I think Sam Mitchell would be an obvious choice...if he never won a championship somewhere else. I think Doc would make the most sense, but I guess KG has some strong connection to Isiah I never knew of.

Edit:
Wait, an HoFer needs to be the one inducting, don't they?

I actually think IT is a great pick for him. Yeah he was a guard, but his scrappy and intense attitude scream like a mini version of KG to me. Granted, IT very well could be mentally retarded based of some of things he has said and done outside of playing basketball, but in terms of being a tenacious competitor, I think it's a good choice.

I think it should be McHale. He mentored him and drafted him.

Yeah McHale messed things up, but he gave KG the opportunity to be great.

Agreed Maga Mac should get the call, terrible GM, but he was close with KG.

Top 10 player of all-time, special player, we'll never draft a player as good as him again.

No NBA player is going to go into the HOF with a MAGA guy inducting him.

His wife for sure is... and I think they were on camera at one of the rallies in Duluth during the presidency.

My thought too. What basketball connections do KG and Thomas have? Was Thomas with the Pistons when Flip coached there?
I apologize in advance if what I just said offended or upset you.

To clarify since TT is trying to use this as a "gotcha!"

His demeanor/personality bugs me at this point. Dude was an amazing player and probably criminally underrated.

I read somewhere that someone being enshrined has to be introduced or presented by someone already currently in the HOF. So that rules out any Twolf involvement.

Supposedly Isaiah wanted to draft KG in 1995 when he was a GM with the Raptors :roll:

Kevin McHale? I know he's not with the Wolves anymore, but he definitely was a big part of KG's career.
