Malone, Pippen headline 2010 HOF finalists

[wrafman]

Yeah...Wilt was an amazing player, but what he was bragging about is just wrong...if what he said is true, then that is just disgusting.

But, Magic didn't have AIDS...he was diagnosed with HIV.

Anyway, Rodman was a defensive monster, and surely should be in the HOF, IMO.

that is true in a way but he still picked up the virus from sleeping around(only three ways - from mother to baby, by infected needle, by unprotected sex).
HIV - stands for human immunodeficiency virus
AIDS stands for acquired immune deficiency syndrome and is what usually happens as a result of getttin the virus. Magic fared remarkably well (there is no cure of course but there were several improvement in drugs to treat the effects of the virus)

Regardless they both were womanizers and if they get in and a high school coach gets in I think Rodman deserves to be at least considered(which he is not since he is not on the finalist list). What did Rodman do that was so bad besides getting in a few dust-ups and dressing up as a woman in a wedding gown.. lol - he had some issues.

Rodman didn't give a rat's-behind about what he said, did, or anything period, really...but, he was still a phenomenal ball player, and should surely be in the HOF...he didn't do anything, like take steroids, to be excluded from the honor.
