Where is all this if mo goes for 20/10 for a few seasons coming from? He has never done it before and he never will.Heretic wrote: IF Mo went 20/10 for a few more title seasons, I'd see him in the HoF. Basing things on what has happened in the past, I'd say there's very little chance of that happening.
When I think of a #2 player on a team who is HoF-worthy, I think of a guy like Pippen, who filled stat sheets on a daily basis while Jordan was putting up huge points. The problem for Mo in reaching "Pippen-status" is that the chances of him being looked at as anything other than primarily a pure shooter will be diluted because of how so much of the offense runs through LeBron.
While this is all my opinion (obviously), I'd look at Mo as being no more important (and possibly less so) than Andy. I'd call them the "co-#2" to LeBron. Mo does the shooting and Andy does the rebounding/dirty work/garbage points stuff.
I don't think comparing Mo to Paxson is completely accurate, but I also don't think calling him a clear-cut #2 is completely accurate, either.
