I found it on nba.com
Thought it could be a fun thing to do. Here's mine:

You can't have 2 centers on your mount rushmore! Actually, you should be able to pick 5 guys since they play 5 guys on the court in the NBA! I would take Kareem, Magic Johnson, Jordan and Karl Malone! My 5th player would have been Larry Bird. With those 5 guys you've got a boat load of Championships and also career stats that cannot be topped!

mt rushmore means 4 best players. and karl or stockton don't belong in this mountain no matter how much we love our jazz.
 
Jordan
Lebron
Magic
Wilt
 
i can't put bron there yet. but once he finishes his career i'm sure he will be

i always struggle with mt rushmore. it's so damn hard.

jordan
russell
magic
kareem


i just can't leave bill russell out. time after time, this guy gets left out just because it's just not sexy to put him up there. i know the era was weak, but russell did play against many great centers.
 
Gotta love Fabtrey always bringing the facts on size.


Russell might have even been a little taller than those pics
You shrink a little when you get old.


I think Russell still would have been a really good player in the league today. His defensive effort would be refreshing from what you see in the NBA now a days.

But I don't think he is averaging 20 rebounds a game and winning 11 rings. It just wouldn't happen. Those numbers right there should tell you all you need to know about the amount of talent in the league back then. It just wasn't great. Russell might have been great, but most of his competition wasn't.
 
Russell
Jordan
Magic
LBJ

The best from each Era.

....best players or most Championships? Malone is second all time leading scorer and has a few other records that will be tough to beat! Stockton has two records that won't be broken, total assists and total steals! And if you don't have Kareem on this MT. Rushmore than your crazy, crazy!

.....Russell, in his prime, in today's NBA....would have been ALL defensive 1st team every year he played! He was one of the few players in the history of the NBA that would block a shot and then GRAB IT...rather than just knock it in the 3rd row of the expensive seats! As far as his rebound totals per game, I'm sure he would have been double digits, probably high teens, since he knew what "boxing out" really meant and could do it!
