First ballot is a lot. But honestly, if basketball HoF is for “encapsulating the game,” then why not recognize one of the best 6th men ever?

For a lot of people, if you ask them to think of 6th men, Lemon Pepper Lou is easily one of the first players you think of.

But, if the standard for HoF is “be great, be the best,” then yeah, no way ANY 6th man should be in the hall unless their career is stacked.
