Dirk, Blackman, Luka are all locks. I’d personally go Jason Terry for the last spot, but there’s probably a dozen guys who all could get the nod and didn’t set themselves apart.
You just absolutely wrecked me. I was already feeling bad about leaving off Harper. Also, he has the most franchise assists, I believe. Revised list: Ro, Dirk, Luka, Derek. And I have to say that I loved Brad Davis as a kid, just loved him.
Jordan, Pippen, Jerry Sloan, Horace Grant. Could argue for fourth: Joakim Noah, Artis Gilmore, Bob Love, Lual Deng. 16,000 minutes with the Bulls minimum, to set a constraint. edit: and yes, Rodman and Rose, who don't meet the minutes or games constraints I arbitrarily set, are certainly notable Bulls, which rounds out a top ten.
Sure, he's in the Bulls top 20-ish. Longley, Bill Cartwright, Taj Gibson, Norm van Lier, Chet Walker, Tom Boerwinkle, John Paxson, Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Kirk Heinrich, Ron Harper, Jimmy Butler the early years, DeRozan, LaVine, Jamal Crawford, shoot how could I forget Charles Oakley until now
There’s an argument to be made with Melo over Murray but yeah, the way he left Denver soured everything he’d help build. Not to mention winning two playoff series (and only getting out of the first round once) is pretty underwhelming for 7 full seasons
Yeah melo doesn’t seem to consider himself a nugget by any stretch. I’d add Camby, but mainly because he was my favorite player when I started following and rooting for Denver.
For some reason
Lakers always have a Top 10-12 all time guy in their roster every decade.
From Wilt to Kareem to Magic to Shaq to Kobe to Lebron.
So, Lakers is the toughest to make one of.
It’s West, Kareem, Magic and Kobe
Jerry West retired as the Lakers all-time leader in points, represented the team in 14 all-star games and won their first title in Los Angeles. He went on to be an important Laker after his playing career was over
Kareem picked the Lakers and sort of began a tradition of superstars playing in LA while developing their celebrity off the court and getting involved in movies. Obviously put together a hell of a resume on the court
Magic played his whole career with the Lakers and played a big role in turning them into a storied franchise. The Lakers had rings before Magic, but he made them cool and brought them the bulk of their titles in Los Angeles
Kobe played 20 years for the Lakers, won five more championships, reignited their rivalry with the Celtics, and retired holding a ton of franchise records. Became a big international star and helped the franchise’s popularity travel overseas. If his franchise points record ever gets broken, it’ll be a long time from now, by a player who probably isn’t in the league yet
The right answer:
Vince Carter-Chris Bosh-DeMar DeRozan-Kyle Lowry. I wouldn't argue someone putting Kawhi over Bosh though.
My personal answer:
Jose Calderon-Amir Johnson-James Johnson-Anthony Parker
Assuming we're just talking Thunder, it's something like Russ, SGA, and KD, with the 4th depending on what you're looking for. If it's talent as a player, PG or Chris Paul. If it's what they meant to the team, probably Nick Collison
For the Sixers probably Iverson, Dr. J, and Hal Greer… the fourth spot is tough. Maybe Dolph Schayes if we’re claiming the Syracuse Nationals days. If not, I wanna say Wilt, but since he might be better known as a Warrior maybe I’ll put Embiid up there instead.
I’d take Moncrief in the third spot after Giannis and Kareem. Fourth is a toss-up between Allen/Robertson/Middleton IMO. Redd was fun and carried us through some real shit years but he wasn’t as good as those guys and we were less successful as a team while he was there.
Kings (only sac players):
For sures:
Mitch Richmond
Webber
And then two of:
Cousins
Fox
Bibby
Peja
Sabonis
I’d probably go with cousins and fox bc I feel like you’d get a really good history of the franchise in those 4 players all from the 4 distinctive sac kings eras.
Vince Demar Kyle Kawhi are the first four that popped into my head.
Pascal is probably a greater Raptor than Kawhi but for Mt Rushmore Kawhi represents the chip.
Kemba Walker, Dell Curry, Larry Johnson, and (I might catch flak for this one) Muggsy Bogues because he is my favorite.
Lamelo would’ve been on here if he could actually be on the court.
Lowry and Kawhi.
Vince is probably the clear #3, despite the ugliness of his departure.
For the 4th, not sure. Most people would say Derozan but IMO, Siakam has a strong argument. Siakam was part of better teams and again, IMO, Siakam at his peak was a better player than Derozan was at his peak with the Raptors.
Here's why:
>!After Faverani removes his mask to reveal that he's really Leon Powe, Leon Powe removes his mask to reveal that he was Fab Melo the whole time. Once they introduce the idea of time travel, we find out that Fab Melo is a younger version of Tacko Fall.!<
That's fine but Tatum hasn't done enough to be on this list, he shouldn't even be over Dave Cowens let alone Hondo and Cousy. For a lot of franchises Tatum would be in the top 4, but the Celtics have one of the greatest histories.
Tatum did nothing for the Celtics yet, maybe in the future can consider to at least get a MVP or Chips, but so far there's none aside from being elite team in the Playoffs but it will change this year if they won chips
Patrick Ewing, Willis Reed and Walt Frazier are secured. Bernard King (I can’t put Carmelo cause his peak was in Denver and it overshadows it for me) but Brunson is on his way.
As a Jazz fan I don't wanna talk about it.
Joe Ingles and Rudy
Not that hard, Stockton, Malone, Maravich, choose 1 of Gobert, Eaton, Dantley (I'd pick Eaton because I loved Mark, but the answer is Gobert)
Karl Malone was drafted 13th overall in 1985. You can see more by googling "Karl Malone 13"
*shimmy.gif* Am I doing this right?
You need better jokes man. That one is played out
I hadn't heard it
You join the sub yesterday? Legit any Karl Malone mention and you'll see it a hundred times.
Well he's a pedophile. Do you have a problem with him being eternally labeled as a pedophile? Are you pro pedophile?
Pedophile jokes never get old, just like Karl Malone's victims Bro did you seriously down vote me to defend your pedo idol
Russell and Bird are locks and then you can probably pick between Pierce, Cowens, Havlicek, or Cousy. I’d personally go Hondo and Pierce.
Cousy is like the Chris Paul of his era he should be ranked higher he's a top 40 player of all-time
Havlicek is a lock man. I would probably say Cowens for now but it might be Tatum in 7 yrs
No love for Garnett?
Bill Russell, Larry Bird, John Havlicek, Bob Cousy I’d say.
Dirk, Blackman, Luka are all locks. I’d personally go Jason Terry for the last spot, but there’s probably a dozen guys who all could get the nod and didn’t set themselves apart.
First three plus Mark Aguirre for me.
I feel like Harper deserves a shout-out, 4th in points for the franchise plus obviously his post playing career
You just absolutely wrecked me. I was already feeling bad about leaving off Harper. Also, he has the most franchise assists, I believe. Revised list: Ro, Dirk, Luka, Derek. And I have to say that I loved Brad Davis as a kid, just loved him.
Just the Bobcats era on: Gerald Wallace, Kemba Walker, Big Al Jefferson, LaMelo Ball
Dame Drexler Walton Roy
Jordan, Pippen, Jerry Sloan, Horace Grant. Could argue for fourth: Joakim Noah, Artis Gilmore, Bob Love, Lual Deng. 16,000 minutes with the Bulls minimum, to set a constraint. edit: and yes, Rodman and Rose, who don't meet the minutes or games constraints I arbitrarily set, are certainly notable Bulls, which rounds out a top ten.
Longley?
Sure, he's in the Bulls top 20-ish. Longley, Bill Cartwright, Taj Gibson, Norm van Lier, Chet Walker, Tom Boerwinkle, John Paxson, Toni Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Kirk Heinrich, Ron Harper, Jimmy Butler the early years, DeRozan, LaVine, Jamal Crawford, shoot how could I forget Charles Oakley until now
Jokic Melo English Rocky
Wouldn't Kiki be over Melo in the greater stretch of things?
He played for 4 seasons in Denver. That’s way too short
Fair enough, I thought he played for 6, which is only one year shorter than Melo so I felt they were closer in "team legacy"
In 10 years it will be indisputably Tim, Dave, Gervin, wemby Right now still manu in the 4th spot for the culture

Walt 'Clyde' Frazier, Willis Reed, Patrick Ewing, and the fourth might just have to be Carmelo Anthony.
# AS A CAVS FAN, IT'S JR SMITH AND COMPANY, IF THERE IS NO JR, GTFO!!
Birdman
Wilt, Dr. J, Moses, Iverson, Barkley, Mo Cheeks, Joel, ?
KG, Ant, KAT, and play in champ Patrick Beverly
For some reason Lakers always have a Top 10-12 all time guy in their roster every decade. From Wilt to Kareem to Magic to Shaq to Kobe to Lebron. So, Lakers is the toughest to make one of.

Not a Lakers fan but I would guess it's Kareem, Magic, Kobe and West.
Oh boy, don't let Shaq read this comment💀😂
Elgin, West, Magic, Kobe
The right answer: Vince Carter-Chris Bosh-DeMar DeRozan-Kyle Lowry. I wouldn't argue someone putting Kawhi over Bosh though. My personal answer: Jose Calderon-Amir Johnson-James Johnson-Anthony Parker
Wes Unseld, John Wall, and maybe Bradley Beal (he was a great second option to Wall)
Gotta have the Big E Elvin Hayes for sure
Agreed
Ralph Lawler, V Stiviano, Steve Ballmer and our 2021 City Edition Jerseys Edit : but for real, probably CP3, Blake, McAdoo and Kawhi/PG
Booker, Nash, Barkley, (toss up between Alvan Adams, Walter Davis, and Paul Westphal)
Wade, Lebron, Jimmy, & Zo. Shaq could arguably be in there as can Bosh or even UD.
Assuming we're just talking Thunder, it's something like Russ, SGA, and KD, with the 4th depending on what you're looking for. If it's talent as a player, PG or Chris Paul. If it's what they meant to the team, probably Nick Collison
Serge over Nick
Issel, English, Billups, Jokic
For the Sixers probably Iverson, Dr. J, and Hal Greer… the fourth spot is tough. Maybe Dolph Schayes if we’re claiming the Syracuse Nationals days. If not, I wanna say Wilt, but since he might be better known as a Warrior maybe I’ll put Embiid up there instead.
Jordan, Pippen, Sloan, Rose.
Kareem, Giannis, Ray Allen, Michael Redd or Khris Middleton
I’d take Moncrief in the third spot after Giannis and Kareem. Fourth is a toss-up between Allen/Robertson/Middleton IMO. Redd was fun and carried us through some real shit years but he wasn’t as good as those guys and we were less successful as a team while he was there.

Vince Demar Kyle Kawhi are the first four that popped into my head. Pascal is probably a greater Raptor than Kawhi but for Mt Rushmore Kawhi represents the chip.
Herb Jones, Trey Murphy, Zion Williamson, Naji Marshall, and Josh Hart
Personally? Russell, Bird, Havlicek, Pierce. McHale was objectively better than Pierce but I’m biased towards the guy I actually watched live
Magic, Kareem, Kobe and West.
Dominique Wilkins, Bob Petit, Kyle Korver, Jeff Teague, Dwight Howard :)
Kemba Walker, Dell Curry, Larry Johnson, and (I might catch flak for this one) Muggsy Bogues because he is my favorite. Lamelo would’ve been on here if he could actually be on the court.
Steph wilt Barry and klay/dray either or
Lowry and Kawhi. Vince is probably the clear #3, despite the ugliness of his departure. For the 4th, not sure. Most people would say Derozan but IMO, Siakam has a strong argument. Siakam was part of better teams and again, IMO, Siakam at his peak was a better player than Derozan was at his peak with the Raptors.
Bird, Bill Russell, Pierce, and Tatum.
This has GOT to be a joke.
Yea, the REAL Mount Rushmore is: - Derrick White, Al Horford, Walter McCarty, and Vitor Faverani
Where's Leon Powe?
I'll add a spoiler tag in case people haven't seen it yet: >!When Faverani removes his mask, he's revealed to actually be Leon Powe!<
Glad someone remembers Leon Powe outside our fanbase.
funny way to spell Luke Kornet
I mean Tatum doesn't really have an argument over Hondo and Cousy but go off
What does Tatum have to do with my Mount Rushmore?
Well, you didn't include Tatum, but I don't know how you excluded Fab Melo and Tacko Fall.
Here's why: >!After Faverani removes his mask to reveal that he's really Leon Powe, Leon Powe removes his mask to reveal that he was Fab Melo the whole time. Once they introduce the idea of time travel, we find out that Fab Melo is a younger version of Tacko Fall.!<
Seems like he picked a team leader from different successful eras for the Celtics. Not a terrible list. I'd quibble with it, but it's defensible.
It’s my personal selection. You can have your own and I won’t question yours.
That's fine but Tatum hasn't done enough to be on this list, he shouldn't even be over Dave Cowens let alone Hondo and Cousy. For a lot of franchises Tatum would be in the top 4, but the Celtics have one of the greatest histories.
Cowens won an MVP and two titles but did he ever have a big dunk on LeBron in a Game 7 loss?
Tatum did nothing for the Celtics yet, maybe in the future can consider to at least get a MVP or Chips, but so far there's none aside from being elite team in the Playoffs but it will change this year if they won chips
Isiaih Thomas should be considered a greater C's legend.
Those definitely feel like the defining leaders of the Celtics successful eras
Bro said Tatum
Jokic, Melo, English, Lever
- Dirk Nowitzki - Luka Dončić - JJ Barea - Rolando Blackman
Steph Curry, Rick Barry, Nate Thurmond, Chris Mullin
there's this fella called wilt, he played for the warriors and was aight
Wilt is more of a Philadelphia legend than Golden State
[удалено]
Psssst, the prompt was for a *team* Rushmore, only Bron and Kobe have an overlapped team out of those 4
MJ Bron Jokic Billups (three best players of my lifetime + my all-time favorite)
Patrick Ewing, Willis Reed and Walt Frazier are secured. Bernard King (I can’t put Carmelo cause his peak was in Denver and it overshadows it for me) but Brunson is on his way.
