Charles Oakley was a key member of both the Bulls and Knicks in the 80’s and 90’s and built a solid reputation as a bruiser underneath.  He seemingly played forever and is high on some career accumulative stats such as games played and total rebounds but did not average double digits in either points or rebounds.  Sadly his legacy will be that of the guy who was traded right before the Bulls made their run and that fact alone should keep him out of the Hall.

Len “Truck” Robinson fit his nickname and could very well be the very definition of a power forward.  He was a “truck” underneath, using his incredible strength to dominate.  A great rebounder Truck also had the ability to score and developed a great mid range game.  Injuries limited his career totals and this will hurt his chances, however fans of the NBA before the Bird-Magic liftoff remember how dominant he could be.

One of the great power forwards of the 70’s and 80’s. Dan Roundfield could rebound and score but is most famous for his ability to defend.  One of the best shot blockers at his position, Roundfield earned first team All-NBA honors in 1980 and made three All-Star teams as well as being a perennial member of the All-Defensive team. Underrated and playing in the obscurity of Atlanta, only his peers really knew how good he was.

Willie Naulls had decent career numbers, finishing a very respectable 15.8 Point and 9.1 Rebound per Game Average.  He was a four-time All-Star and three-time NBA champion and he was one of the best ever to come from college basketball giant powerhouse that was UCLA.

Professionally, Naulls went to his four All-Stars with the New York Knicks, and in 1959-60 and 1960-61 he received MVP votes.  Traded to the San Francisco Warriors in 1962, his contract was sold to the juggernaut that was the Boston Celtics where he provided depth, and won three consecutive NBA Championships to close his career.
