Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame: 10 players who define the borderline for induction

#9 LaMarcus Aldridge

San Antonio Spurs v Los Angeles Lakers

The only currently active player on this list, there has to come a time when Aldridge receives his due from people other than his teammates and his peers. The #2 overall pick from the 2006 NBA draft has cemented his name among the foremost frontcourt players of his generation with his performances with the Spurs last season, as he effectively led them to 47 wins on his own with an injury-hobbled roster.

Aldridge has become an amazing two-way player who can win you a game on both ends of the court, and his 6 All-Star Game selections in addition to 5 All-NBA Team selections are testament to this.
