Who is on your NBA Mt. Rushmore???

[Mazingerz]

It would be the four icons of their respective eras in Celtic History:

1.Bill Russell
2. Bob Cousy
3. Cowens
4. Bird

I'll add these too:

5. Hondo
6. Pierce

 

[Finkelskyhook]

Russell Chamberlain Bird Oscar

[lightspeed5]

James Naismith
Red Auerbach
Michael Jordan
Magic Johnson

Honorable mention:
Bill Russell
Larry Bird
Wilt Chamberlain
Dr J

lol I thought we were talking about players

[Moranis]

Chamberlain
Jordan
Russell
Johnson


To me they were the 4 guys that stand out and changed things about the game and the players that followed them.  I'd listen to arguments about Bird over Johnson and maybe one day James will do enough to get there, but for now those would be my 4.

I could make the arguement, probably not win it, but could make it, that Magic wasn't the MVP of the Lakers during the 80's run.  Imagine the joy of being able to feed a guy in the paint who had an unstoppable shot? A guy who had led his previous team to 2 NBA championships in 6 seasons; A guy who averaged better than 30 PPG and 15 Boards per game over six seasons with the Bucks.   The Big O never won a championship before The Big Guy came to Milwaukee, and Magic didn't win one without him either.

Kareem was an absolutely dominant force in the NBA for 20 seasons (BTW, his rookie season he averaged 29/14).
   
Pretty tough to leave Abdul-Jabbar's chiseled face off any mountain representing NBA's greatest.


EDIT: Sorry, Magic did win one in 1991 after KAB retired.  Wind out of my sails.

Prob would have to go with Russell, Jordan, Bird, Magic

[Eja117]

I would have just Bird and Magic with a Celts and Lakers fan on each side of them.

Jiri was special. Came in the Raef deal, as I recall. Looked a little like the hoops version of a young Bob Dylan.

And Danny Ainge managed to con the Cavs into giving us a first round pick for Jiri.

Bird, Jordan, Olajuwon were guys you can lean on. Carried you on their backs. You never felt out of a game until the final horn. Clutch shooters
