Has there ever been a hall-of-famer who never played in an all-star game? (I do think Camby should have been an all-star a few times, though.)

Agree that Camby should've been an all-star a few times. As for him making the all-star game, no shot in hell, unfortunately. If he can't get the recognition to make the all-star team in years when you look at the stats and it's an absolute no-brainer, then no, I can't see him making the hall of fame, either. By the time it's done, he'll likely have some very impressive stats.. and will be completely overlooked, like he gets overlooked for everything else because he excels at the less-exciting areas that other players completely fail at. It's a shame.

Actually his joke wasn't funny the guy has been relatively healthy his past 5 NBA seasons. He had a hiccup in 2005-2006 but overall the past 5 seasons if he finishes this one out healthy he'll have averaged almost 70gms/season the past 5.

Yes. Well people are going to hang onto outdated impressions. He's obviously wrong. It was so obvious that I didn't bother correcting him. Instead, I replaced it with a better candidate, rather than insulting him.

I could go on but you get the picture. Oh and if you still want to complain about Marcus Camby's health lately then consider this. Marcus Camby didnt play THIS MONTH in the Charlotte(2/02/08) and Portland(2/04/08) game. You want to take a guess why?

So, Solace if by "relatively healthy his past 5 NBA" you mean the poster boy for HMO and BlueCross BlueShield medical insurance than yes, he has been relatively healthy his past 5 nba seasons.

The only way Camby gets to the hall is if they turn the place into a triage unit. So forget it!

I think you just confirmed Solace's point that your view was outdated.

Ok, now look at what I put in bold.

I think you confirmed my point, too. I never said he's Mr. durability, but it's hard to argue that he's been much more healthy in recent years than he had been in previous years. If you disagree with that statement, then it means that you are wrong.

(Btw, the part about insulting was purely meant as humor. My apologies if it hit a nerve.)

Oh no, on the contrary. I agree with your statement, "it's hard to argue that he's been much more healthy in recent years than he had been in previous years". His track record in the "previous years" has been posted.
