Specific Franchise Mt. Rushmores

[RedBlackAttack]

If you're intent on discussing this, put them in here. There's no need to have a separate thread for every team. I'll lock the more interesting threads, so feel free to move the posts into here and continue the discussion.

This has gotten ridiculous.

Where is J Will?:facepalm

[fpliii]

No Kareem, cold. Your list though
If it's purely players I'd go with him without Buss. I think Kareem's better than all of West, Magic, Kobe. But of his prime years (69-81), he spent half of them in Milwaukee. The rest were lifelong Lakers (though Magic and Kobe forced their way in, I suppose).

This, Bibby won you games while JWill was crazy to watch during his time with the Kings but didn't really help you win similar to Isaiah Thomas now.

Shaq and Bosh have no business whatsoever being there. Pat Riley should be 4th.

Wicks feels really inaccurate for me. I don't think he is even close to being worthy. How did you settle on him?

Early Pioneer for the young Blazers. I think if he was on better teams he would be much more recognized. If not, I think Lucas is a fine replacement here.

Derozan with McGrady

Can't put McGrady over DeRozan. DeRozan has blossomed in Toronto and has played longer, while I definitely feel he can contribute more to Toronto's future.

Thanks for the Spurs names. I completely forgot to put them down. Agreed with all 4.

[Orlando Magic]

Orlando...

Shaquille O'Neal
Dwight Howard
Tracy McGrady
Darrell Armstrong (sorry Nick Anderson and Anfernee Hardaway... any real Magic fan gives D.A. a spot)

I think Darrell Armstrong is the most loved player in Magic history... he is for me at least. No question... the guy ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS!!! busted his ass and he did not leave the organization on bad terms unlike the other guys... in fact let'sjust get rid of all of them and put D.A. up by himself.

[DaSeba5]

Easy for the Heat

Wade
LeBron
Zo
Hardaway

Honorable mentions: Shaq, Haslem, Bosh, Seikaly

[Myth]

Early Pioneer for the young Blazers. I think if he was on better teams he would be much more recognized. If not, I think Lucas is a fine replacement here.

I just had a hard time seeing it. He put up decent stats, but was only a Blazer for 5 years, and never once got the team to the playoffs. To me, that is like having Shareef Abdur-Rahim on the Grizzlies Mt. Rushmore in 20 years if the Grizzlies manage to pull out 3 Finals appearances and 1 championship, because Shareef put up good stats on a non-playoff team for 5 years at the beginning of the franchise.
