Baseball is tougher. No other sport would bar players the caliber of Clemens, Bonds, Shoeless Joe or Pete Rose. The NFL isn't going to have a year where only two guys get inducted like the NBA has.I always thought baseball was the hardest, but their standards have declined as well. All are becoming the Hall of the Very Good, or Nearly So.
But they are fundamentally different sports. I think in the NBA it's easier because if you are a star you get in. But it's a 5 person game and a star can have a tremendous impact. While in a 53 person game you can't let every big name in a particular era get in. Meanwhile baseball kinda has hard barometers on stats and accolades you need to hit for some voters to even consider you. It's a lot colder in that respect.
