Jim is joined by award-winning author, producer, and screenwriter, Bijan Bayne, to discuss the hall of fame candidacy of former NBA power forward Paul Silas. First, Bijan and Jim cover how Silas made a huge impact on a number of different NBA teams throughout his 16-year career and always found himself deep in the playoffs (8:06). Next, they discuss his performance in the 1976 NBA Finals, whether he was the best defensive player on the 1970s Boston Celtics, and HOF big men who weren't dominant offensive players (12:03). Finally, they rank Silas among the best PFs of the 1970s (28:59), before making a final call on whether or not Silas deserves a place in the HOF (40:26).
