    Who’s on it? 4 faces only. You can do an NBA only one or include all of basketball.

    yeah it is tough. Todays players have a road block because it is hard to overcome what the legends have contributed. Maybe we should split it up into some categories.

    Players: Jordan, Kareem, Wilt, Russell

    coaches: Auerback, Phil Jackson, Wooden, …Riley?

    miscelaneous: James Naismith, Chick Hearn, Stern, …?

    DR. J..Changed the way the game was played…Magic was a versatile big man…WHO bought joy to the game..He just loved winning..HE made the way for guys like Garnett and NOWITZSKI…WOODEN WAS a great teacher… JORDAN’s OVERALL GAME, Determination,Competiveness and will to win was have him in a class by himself….

    Terrible announcer…i had to lower the lower the volume on the TV when he was calling games…Constantly would get players names wrong and would mistake players for someone else…

    haha, yeah Chick was the worst announcer for like the last 10 years of his life. No offense, though because he invented a lot of terms and words like alley-oop and stuff. But he was terrible. He wouldn’t just get the names wrong, he would be talking about players who weren’t even playing for either team. It would be like if Scalibrine scored on the thunder, he would say “you gotta like the Kevin Love character out there. He was a great player in college at villanove teaming up with Richard Jefferson playing for coach K. He would get the whole damn game wrong, but he was such a leagend no one would say anything.

    Naismith- the dude created the sport for cryin out loud

    Russel- best big man ever, consummate winner/teammate and the best defender ever

    MJ- Best play of all time

    John Wooden- The best basketball coach ever, I love Phil Jackson but Wooden takes the cake on this one

    here are mine, but just compared to the real mount rushmore

    George Washington = James Naismith – the founding father of basketball
    Abraham Lincoln = Bill Russell – Tall, Stoic, and Bearded like Lincoln, at least, but has the most championships of any player
    Thomas Jefferson = Michael Jordan – arguably the best ever, changed the game, there is no doubt he should be there
    Teddy Roosevelt = Wilt Chamberlain – Big Personality, trail blazer, just like Roosevelt blazed the trails out west Wilt, did so in basketball, they even had to change the rules of the game so he wouldn’t be so dominant.
