With all the hype surrounding Lebron James’ recent feelings on his Mount Rushmore of basketball players swirling around, I figured I would take some time to marinate on the thought, and formulate what I feel is the “Rushmore” of basketball greats. Narrowing it down to just four players is so difficult, taking everything from individual stats to awards and championships to longevity into account. I decided to make it easier and do a Rushmore at every position. I’m aware people will be upset by my list but that’s life, can’t win em all. Compare your list to mine and let’s see if great minds really do think alike.
