We should see between 8 and 12 inducted. As a local AZ guy it's cool to see Amare Stoudamire and Kevin Johnson both in the finalists lists. I never thought KJ would get in, but think Amare deserves to get in.

Any thoughts or predictions on this year's class?

Blake Griffin but no Kemp. LMAO

Absolute joke.
