Who is on your NBA Mt. Rushmore???

[Birdman]

LeBron James said that when he retires, he should be one of 4 players on a NBA Mt. Rushmore..He said he would have Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Oscar Roberston...Question is, who would u have? Pick only 4 now!!

[Fafnir]

Russell, Jordan, Kareem, Bird

I wouldn't argue if you put Magic over Bird though. The other three I think are locked in.

[manl_lui]

Michael Jordan, Bird, Magic, Bill Russell is on my list for NBA rushmore.

[D.o.s.]

Only four?

Robertson, Jordan, Russell, Kareem.

But that's an arbitrary limit - LeBron actually said that you'd need to make space for a fifth head, not that he should be one of the four.

[Birdman]

This is mine:

Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell
Oscar Roberston
Michael Jordan

Kills me to put MJ there but he was a great player

runner up:
Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Shaq O'Neal
Larry Bird
Magic Johnson
Hakeem Olajuwon
Dominique Wilkins
Kobe Bryant

Russell, Jordan, Kareem, Bird

I may have Magic over Bird but yeah I totally agree with your reasoning.  If Kareem and Russell aren't on it you are seriously messing it up. 

Kareem deserves more respect than he gets, I think.

if there's one place where it's ok to disrespect Kareem as a player, I think it's a Celtics forum.

[Donoghus]

Stern, Jordan, Auerbach, and a spliced face of Bird/Magic.

Flame away.... 

[Emmette Bryant]

This is mine:

Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell
Oscar Roberston
Michael Jordan

I would agree with this list.  For all of you youngsters out there, Wilt Chamberlain has 72 NBA records, 68 of which he holds by himself.

Ha maybe it's expected.  But I don't underestimate how dominant of a player he was.  6 MVPs, 6 titles, led the league in scoring twice.  So consistent for so long too.

I think he's a lock.  But may not be on some lists in here.

From a player standpoint:

Jordan, Kareem, Russell, spliced image of Bird/Magic.

He's on my list, too.

Personally, I think the Big O is the one getting snubbed in this thread so far.

For what it's worth, that's the list that Greenie threw out on Mike and Mike today morning, and it seems to me it would be hard to take anyone off of it. Magic, Bird, Kareem, and Shaq are all great players, but neither of them exhibited the type of dominance Robertson and Chamberlain did.

The most eye-popping stat of Wilt Chamberlain, by the way, is that he once played every single minute of every single game for an entire season, averaging 48.5 mpg.
