When the time comes (hopefully in 8 or more years!) and Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen are eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame what team do you think they will choose? 
The team of their greatest individual accomplishments or their greatest team accomplishments? 
I'm hoping to add to the list of Boston Celtics in the Hall of Fame...

  • Yup
KG's gotta be a T-Wolf

Ray's harder, but if you absolutely needed a decision from me, I'd go with the Bucks.

Regardless they'll still be Celtics Hall of Famers in a much greater sense then guys like Dominique or Shaq.
Yup

It's not like baseball, where they go in wearing a certain team's cap.  It's just a picture of their head, so players don't go in with any team:


After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

pretty sure I see a greenish hue to that plaque.  Maybe it's just my monitor (or the green tinted I glasses).
Yup

I think a more interesting thing is who will they pick to induct them/do the speech?
they have both been around so long and played with some many guys and so many coaches

kg-kevin mchale?
ray-hmmm

I don't recall this being like football or baseball hall of fames where they're inducted as a "Celtic" etc.

Here's a tangent, who currently retired should be in the Hall of Fame? I've got three to start:
1. Spencer Haywood
2. Bernard King
3. JoJo White

I guarantee that if he is still living, Ray will ask Jim Calhoun.

I actually posed this question in a topic a few months ago and we had a pretty good discussion.  I think it was in Celtics History.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

Yeh, you're right, I was working on the OP's premise.
Yup

Curious why no on Haywood? Olympic Medal, first to jump early to the pros, solid career.
