Sirius NBA radio was discussing teams Mount Rushmore's. I wasn't listening long enough to hear if they discussed the Celtics, but it got me to thinking. Who is on the Celtics Mount Rushmore, if you look at players only?
You weren't listening long enough to hear them discuss the Celtics? I feel like there's only 2 teams you can even have this discussion with Lakers and Celtics. It's like even if you listened for only 30 seconds they'd have to hit on the Celtics. Just curious who they did talk about and what they said?
I feel it's got to be a generational thing, one from each generation:
Cousy, Russell, Hondo, Bird.
Maybe swap Hondo for Cowens?
Unfortately then there was that drop off after that, Pierce and Garnett was just too little, too late to get on there.
Lakers are also interesting, do you only do four faces? Do you include Minneapolis?
First thoughts I'm thinking Mikan, West, Magic, Kobe. If you're only talking LA, then I'd replace Mikan with Kareem. No Baylor, Wilt, or Shaq.
I can't think of any other team that should have a Mt. Rushmore.
