Entering the NBA Hall of Fame is obviously a massive honor and truly one of the biggest accomplishments a player can achieve.
There are a lot of questions about who will enter the Hall in the future, but a few current players are seen as sure things.
According to Basketball Reference, via Basketball Forever, the five players who are locks for the Hall of Fame are LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Stephen Curry, and James Harden.
They have a 100 percent chance of making it, and it’s unlikely that will change.

No one is surprised to see these five players listed as Hall of Fame inductees, but they are surprised to see a few people off this list.
Kawhi Leonard isn’t 100 percent, neither is Russell Westbrook, nor Nikola Jokic.
Of course, that may change in the years ahead, and this list is sure to grow.
Yes, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyrie Irving, and others should prepare to write a speech for their inductions.
Each of the five players listed above has done great things during their many years in the league, although not all of them have become champions.
Only James, Durant, and Curry have won a title, but Paul and Harden might be able to pull it off before they retire.
Even if they don’t, their inclusion will remind people that while championship rings are important, they aren’t everything.
You can still be in the Hall of Fame even if you don’t earn a title.
What other players currently in the league are going to be Hall of Famers someday?
This list is going to grow, but who will be on it?
