Mount Rushmore of any of your favorite teams?

[NeverSurrender]

They have been doing this on NBCs sports and I'm curious as to who you guys would put on here for your favorite teams. Players coaches and Owners eligible. Even a team's famous broadcaster if you care to do that.

And any sport is cool, even you soccer homos.

Vikings:

1. Bud Grant
2. Fran Tarkenton
3. Alan Page
4. Adrian Peterson

Dodgers:

1. Jackie Robinson
2. Duke Snyder
3. Tommy Lasorda
4. Vin Scully

Islanders:

1. Al Arbour
2. Denis Potvin
3. Mike Bossy
4. Billy Smith

Tough to leave Trottier of the Isles list.

Your turn.

pierce passed bird as a scorer and was the mvp of the first title since 85'

[yeahbuddy]

I was going to say-
for you Celtic fans, Pierce has to be on the list regardless if you like him or not.

He shouldn't be ahead of McHale, imo.

You're observant.
I took it as my favorite players on my favorite teams.

No, it's supposed the be best/most important. But you can pick whoever you want.

How about :

John Kasay
Don Beebe


Seriously, though, Kasay is a memorable Panther.

[NeverSurrender]

I know he is known as more of a Saint but Sam Mills was pretty important to the Panthers, no?

[Woosh]

Yeah, Sam Mills, along with Kerry Collins, were pretty much guarantees for most popular Panther jerseys sold in the first couple years, I'm sure. Those were the 2 I'd say I remember seeing the most, at least.

Then, of course, a little later was Carruth.

I think that is what NBC sports picked. Taylor would not be my choice.

Taylor is definitely iffy and probably shows a generational bias.

Both Maddux and Jenkins had over 300 wins. I'd take Grace before I'd take Ryno. Give me the guy who led the 90s in hits and chain smoked in the dugout.
