Troy's answer is hilarious!
The NBA should have pulled a NHL move with Jordan. When the Great One retired, the NHL bypassed the 5 year waiting list and immediately let Gretzsky into the Hall of Fame. The NBA should have done the same for Jordan.

Whoever said he wasn't really that good should be slapped. Right now. But yea, you have to wait a certain amount of time after you retire to be inducted, I mean Barry Sanders was just recently inducted into the NFL HOF and he's been retired for a while. So just give it a while, Jordan will in there. Trust.

The requirement is to be retired for five years before he can be considered for induction. Had Jordan stayed retired after the 97-98 season he would have been inducted.

Usually it takes longer for guys in the front office to be inducted no matter how good. and he last played like 3 or 4 years ago in the Capital

he last played in 2002 with the wizards which was 4 yrs ago. so, i guess some more time. but he will definatley without a doubt be in the hall of fame.

yes he did, and then he came back. he's only been out of the game for 4 years. get your facts right before you ask a question. the minimum wait is 5 years before you are eligible for induction, which is why karl malone isn't in yet either.

Wow, looks like a few people have been hitting the crack pipe pretty hard before answering this question...
Just like all good things in life, you gotta just wait it out.

He needs to wait at least one more year to be eligible for the Hall.

yeah...he really wasn't that good, so it'll be a toss up to see if he gets in or not...I mean he only managed to transform the game of basketball as we know it today
