As the latest star-studded class enters the Basketball Hall of Fame this weekend, we can't help but look to the future and wonder which active players might receive the honor after they retire.
History suggests a whole lot of current stars will receive a plaque in Springfield one day. Each season from 1955 through 2005, between 26 and 44 players went on to become Hall of Famers, with an average of 34 per year.
With that precedent in mind, let's identify the 50 players from the 2025-26 season who are most likely to become Hall of Famers. They won't all make it -- that's why we're casting a wide net instead of zooming in on just 34 -- but these selections have the best chance of highlighting induction weekends throughout the 2030s and 2040s.
