I was watching "Open Court" the other day. I DVR it. It is a NBA TV show with ex players or current players in a round table discussion of multiple topics. It was interesting when they were talking about Laettner. The concensus was he is a top 5 college basketball player of all time. He played on the Dream Team and he was a massive star in college. Kenny Smith said he deserves to be a HOF. Remember, the HOF is not just an NBA HOF. It is basketball in general. What do yall say? Also, Barkley made some interesting points that Laettner would have thrived in todays NBA because he was the ultimate stretch 4. He wasnt fast enough to play the 3, but he wasnt strong enough to play the 4. Teams didnt know how to use him, but todays age he would have fit in well. I thought that was interesting.
