Starting point is 00:01:15 We are going to pick the Mount Rushmore of NBA players for different NBA franchises. So, you know, we do this stuff before where we pick like the best players for a franchise or the greatest players. I feel like this is like its own thing. I feel like to be on Mount Rushmore. like it's the most important players to a franchise yeah whether that's to the fans the team
Starting point is 00:01:33 organization whatever that means like who is like their guys that they hold close to their heart and define the organization it's like when where i say this team who are like the first four people that you yeah yeah so it's not it's almost certainly not going to be their best players i mean i mean honestly for a lot of teams like a lot of teams like a lot of teams are not legendary like that so it might end up being your best players sure sure but for the famous organizations it's going to be a little more nuanced than just like their best guys okay so Let's start with a very old famous organization. 76ers.
Starting point is 00:02:02 Okay. Who was on their Mount Rushmore? Alan Iverson is 100% on here. Yeah. The fanfare, like he is Mr. 76er. Yeah. Even though they have, they probably have four more accomplished players, but they don't have four MPs.
Starting point is 00:02:12 They don't have four players that loved. So, Iverson. Yeah. And obviously, Dr. Jay. Yes. We're serving 110% used to be there. Even damn maybe more than Alan Iverson in terms of like NBA and how, like, no, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:25 How, like, whilst widespread his impact was. No, Dr. Jay is the greatest and most important six year for sure over Iverson. Yeah, most definitely. I mean, they both have like immense impact world, like NBA wide. But I think Dr. Jay is when it comes to his fan base and also like league wide too. He should be like just a universal. Yeah, forefather of the organization. Do we put Moses Malone on there who won the chip with Dr. Jay?
Starting point is 00:02:51 So he's an MVP for the organization the same way as Iverson. I feel like maybe younger generations don't remember him the same way. he's kind of been lost in terms of fanfare but he was the best player on championship team for them. I feel like we have to go there. But there's also Wilt who is Wilt Chamberlain
Starting point is 00:03:05 you know figure had years of the Sixers. So, okay, so there's three guys that I'm thinking about right now where it's Moses Malone, it's Wilt and it's Charles Barkley. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:16 How? I always forget about Charles Barker for some reason. I just always associate him more with the Suns even though it's obviously not restarted. Yeah. Okay, so I think it's fair if we go Wilt here.
Starting point is 00:03:27 over Moses Malone. Is it fair? In terms of public consciousness, it's fair. Being a part of the championship team definitely helps. It is like the conversation. It is everything.
Starting point is 00:03:42 They don't have a ton of chips and he's the best player for one of them. Would you rather go with Malone and Wilk or Malone and Barclay? I honestly don't know how to parse that. Who means more to the 76th franchise? I feel like neither one of them
Starting point is 00:03:59 being that much I don't know When I say that Yeah like compared to Iverson Compared Dr. J Even compared to Moses Who like was there for a chip And was like the best player
Starting point is 00:04:09 Just because One didn't start there One didn't stay there You know like They drafted Barclay right Like I guess it's probably Barclay Let's Yes
Starting point is 00:04:21 They did draft Barclay Let's I would say Let's go with Moses and then let's go with Barkley. Because even though he didn't win the MVP there, there were some, there were some like ups and downs
Starting point is 00:04:33 and obviously like the weight stuff and him like getting himself in the shape and being and like becoming a great player. Yeah. Like that, that does matter to them though. Yeah. Yeah, I think Will and Barkley both aren't most associated with the Sixers
Starting point is 00:04:46 even though they did have great years there. I think Eileen slightly Barclay that they probably remember him slightly more favorably. I don't know. Will one like what? I think he won. three MVP's with the Sixers.
Starting point is 00:04:58 It means a lot. Question, though. For this new era, is there any argument about Embed being in the top four? Just because, like, for their entire process, he is the poster boy for the process. Yeah. And so, like, like, the last decade and really even before that,
Starting point is 00:05:19 when they just start, when they decide to start losing, all of it comes together and... To be Embed. Yeah. He's the representative of the last 13 years of, like, Philadelphia Bassel. I think we should go Will over Barclay. I think you are. Three-time MVP is better than what Barkley.
Starting point is 00:05:35 And also, yeah, Wilt won a championship with them in 672. Yeah. Well, 671, is that when it was... No, it is right, right, right, right. Yeah, I think it is Will it over Barclay. I'm so drawn towards, like, I drafted you by us that that does do a lot for fan bases. And Wilk came late in his career. So I feel like...
Starting point is 00:05:52 I almost feel like that's probably like a LeBron Laker situation. But the Lakers also have a million legends The Sixers don't in the same way So I think Will I can say an argument for Embed I think there's an it's hard in the moment Because so many people hate Embed And he's currently at his low
Starting point is 00:06:06 And a lot of Sixers fans like take him for granted And like criticize him There is a large swath obviously That love him and adore him But that's a fan base That's like easy to piss off It's too mixed Too volatile
Starting point is 00:06:17 So I think we'll go well I think you're right I don't think we should pay too much Bias to Barclay being drafted there I think Will is one of the four greatest players Definitely agree Okay When he's on like the Philadelphia Warriors
Starting point is 00:06:28 Does that team go to San Francisco? He was in the Philadelphia Warriors And San Francisco Warriors And then went to the Philadelphia 76ers So he was on both Philadelphia franchises at different times I wonder if you I don't know the what went into his free agency at that time Because I think it was a free agency decision
Starting point is 00:06:40 I think that was like early days of that I wonder if he went back there Because he wanted to go to Philadelphia again Because they got a team again I wonder if he's like Philadelphia I don't know when it did that Okay Golden State Warriors Steph Curry
Starting point is 00:06:51 Steff Curry From ground up Hands down now do we put either any of his co-stars yes i think you have to put draymond in there as well if you put draymond do you also put clay like we agree draymond is like the better more important player obviously it's a debate i feel like in terms of adoration and how much their fan base rise for them forever they're like equal are all three of them on mount rushmore i think all three of them deserve to be on mount rushmore unless you think there's an argument for someone else to
Starting point is 00:07:17 argue it's like all three of them and like chris mullin or something i was going to say rick berry yeah does anybody like rick berry is the thing i don't know i don't know i don't know I don't know. No, that's what I'm saying. Like, Rick Berry is just notoriously, people are like, this guy sucks. So I don't, so that's what I'm like, I don't know if he is on the Mount Rushmore like that. But is it very, is it too crayon either of us to just say like, yeah, the big three of the last like 12 years. And then somebody.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Well, no, it's by far, it's their greatest era by far. Like, this is the era. Honestly, is it those three and wilt, let me just go wilt again? I don't know about. Man, no, I don't know. But it's not. It's not, it's not crayon eater at all to. put those three because when it comes to thinking about like guys who built a organization from
Starting point is 00:08:00 ground up like we said we talk about it time and time again here and there the warriors were like towards the bottom of the league when it comes to relevancy and importance to the history the warriors are a middle of the tier middle of the pack franchise for their entire organization they have ups and downs they have ups like every team does but they are not a premier organization until these three walk in the door and make them the new eras bulls they are now one of the three most valuable teams in the league because of them, I think it's those three in Wilty. So I think I might go like, see, I don't really want to go
Starting point is 00:08:30 the only time before, like, the Warriors came through, like, you knew that the stadium and, like, Oracle was, like, awesome. Called it the Oracle, man. That's how impactful. And, like, the two errors before that, that have, like, actual, like, fan love would be the We Believe Warriors and then run TMC. What, you want to go God down Monta Ellis? You want to go Baron Davis?
Starting point is 00:08:51 No, no. But the we believe is like a very singular thing And then Run TMC is more of an error Obviously they didn't accomplish a lot But like when you think about the highs of the franchise And things people still You know, grasp on to Somebody from that era
Starting point is 00:09:05 I feel like should be represented But I will scored 100 for them Like you know like if there's gonna be a Will representation I feel like it should be them Like that was his first team That's where he did all the ridiculous numbers That stands a test of time I bet they have pride in that
Starting point is 00:09:18 Do they? I don't know I mean you you hate Will so much You want to go Will or don't go Chris Mullen. I think both are respectable. Yeah. I might want to lean towards Will because it's one of the most iconic moments. But is that more about Will in himself rather than, rather than like a fan base is love towards an actual error that they remember?
Starting point is 00:09:38 That's one. It's hard for us to have that conversation because you don't know a single person that remembers Will on the fucking 60s because they're all fucking retired homes. Nobody's seen that game. It's the problem. That's why we can't have discourse about it. It's because they're in retirement homes. But I do think it's probably Willed. Chris Mullen, if they had like Juan,
Starting point is 00:09:53 like Chris Mullen's a five-time All-Star. It's not like it's like a legend. I think Wilt, even if there is more individual than team success there, which there is clearly, I think Mullen isn't quite. What's the nickname for Wilt's era?
Starting point is 00:10:04 Again, they're in retirement homes. I don't know. If you have bad branding, I can't give it to you. What's the nickname for Witt's era? I'm not talking to 80-year-olds. I'm not aware. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:10:13 I'm out here talking to the 50-year-olds I'm on the ground. The 50-year-olds weren't born yet. They were telling me about it. Their grandparents are watching Will. They were telling me about it. You're crazy. Oh, no, I was talking about for Run TMC.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Oh, okay, okay. I was going to say, this is unbelievably long ago. The Toronto Raptors. Kawai. Lowry. Does Kuai get there for one year? He got the only chipping, yes. But like for Route Rushmore, it's like fan love.
Starting point is 00:10:37 You know, I think they do rap for Kauai, though. I think they do appreciate him. I think it's a franchise that has such little history because it's such a young team that like they appreciate the fuck that out of Kauai for giving them that one year. Exactly. Absolutely. I would go Kauai and Kyle Lowry are one and two. And then DeRos and,
Starting point is 00:10:50 also has to be on there as well and then Vince Carter I don't know but didn't they were recently retired they did they like made it they made up yeah he went out sad but they they got over time heals all and it healed off for Vince Carter was was his crying me at that one or the Nets jersey because he got his jersey retired at both spots I don't know which one I was from I can't remember I would guess I was probably the Nets he probably cares more about the Nets yeah I would guess I don't know though
Starting point is 00:11:20 I don't remember where it's from. I mean, everybody kind of hates him, though. I know. But neither one of these franchises that went out well with. But, okay, so it's Vince probably over Bosch. And there's no other, like, premier role player I can think of that, like, has to be on there
Starting point is 00:11:32 of, like, meeting so much of the team. Like, maybe if Siakwin never left, they never traded him and they kept him for a long time, that could have been, like, guy who was your development story, he wanted to ship with you as a role player and developed into a star, all NBA player for you. But since they traded him, probably not. That would have, that's type of storyline
Starting point is 00:11:47 would have been, like, career ends were there. Yeah. I agree. I like this four. Okay. And, you know, this one is their four best players of all time. Now, the one we're doing this four, obviously the main character is the hardest one to do. The Los Angeles Lakers.
Starting point is 00:12:01 This is the one where their best player, like LeBron is not on there. At all. It can't be. Kobe and Magic are on there. One and two. Those are the only ones that are locked to me. Because I think there might be other names that come to you as a lock. Low key, they're all debates now.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I don't know if Kareem is a debate. Shacks a debate. Damn. I forget. He did have those early Milwaukee years. So you have, it was meaningful there. So you have Kareem, Shaq. And to me the lock that.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Jerry West? I think Jerry West has to be a lock. Oh, for sure. For Mount Rushmore, the fact that he was player, coach, GM, all three, present basketball operations, that everything for them, birth every single George, and every generation of success touched Jerry West's hands in some way. I think he has to be on there.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Put Jerry West here. Easy. Yeah, easy. And then again, it is Kareem and Shaq. They both came as free agents. Worthy? They both gave you success. right away.
Starting point is 00:12:53 They both got multiple chips. Between Kareem and Shaq. Kareem retired there. Shack went out with the feud with Kobe and Kobe's the most adored player. I feel like in terms of fanfare, Kareen probably has a little edge up there. This is, I mean, this is your alley, though.
Starting point is 00:13:06 Were they fighting about Shaq? Were they fighting about Shaq? When you were four years old? I think... Were the streets still upset? I think my mother was probably upset at Shaq. I bet she was mad in 2004 at Shaq.
Starting point is 00:13:20 And I bet my grandmother was not mad at Kareem when he retired. So I think we can go Kareem. Okay. But that's the close. Is there anybody we're forgetting? I mean, like, you're just like, I don't know. Like we're not putting LeBron on there. It hasn't been, but low-keyed LeBron's on there for a long time.
Starting point is 00:13:36 And he chose to come there as the greatest player of all time. So he probably has more credence that we're giving him. But Kareem and Kareem wants so many championships there. Yeah. If LeBron won like two more, two championships there, two chips there, then it would be a little bit more in argument considering how. big of a drought it was and how much in despair you guys were during the 20 not 2013 season but 15 16 17 you know I think he would be there but keep in mind you
Starting point is 00:14:03 don't the greatest player of all time chose to come there when he didn't have to and he might retire there play 10 years there that does mean a lot for most teams to be Mount Rushmore but it's hard to craft it like there not Rushmore yeah but that that that does mean a lot like he's he's staying there and retiring there across multiple generations of stars he did go ahead and it clips Kareem there as well, which is the one of the five most iconic moments in history. So again, we're not doing it but salute. There's a conversation.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Hey, if he goes ahead and wins a ring with Luca, hey man. I guess I could, maybe, but. I'm not necessarily projecting that's going to happen. I'm not either. Hey man. I'm a snake while. The mind's got to be open. I'm hating hard. As always. The key him is obviously on here. James Hardin
Starting point is 00:14:45 is on here. Yeah, and like he requested trade didn't go super well. I guarantee you 10 years not no one's going to give a shit about that. He's going to be a rocket's legend. They love him. They go over it. Mosin Malone has to be on here.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Yes. Easy. Probably their second best player of all time that people just give it to Hardin. I wrote Hardin. I wrote Rockets. What the hell? Now who gets the last spot? Moses Malone.
Starting point is 00:15:06 So there is just some Evan Haystuff. There's some Rudy T. Rudy T. Because they love Rudy T. You are deep in your bag. Low key. A low key might be Rudy T. got his face
Starting point is 00:15:21 broke up and then came back he was coaching the team as well like okay is there any yoming possibility as somebody who defined the 2000s he was such a like
Starting point is 00:15:33 fun and root for a player that like they loved him in Houston but I don't think he's like on the Mount Rushmore though they loved him in Houston Rudy T
Starting point is 00:15:46 Rudy T Rudy T I'm in he can I interest you and listen Louis Scola had some years man You said Louis Scola They love Louis Scola
Starting point is 00:15:57 Louis Scola Because when Y'all Ming was out here Getting hurt Scola was out here Hooping Yeah I don't know who to put here Yeah I generally don't know who will
Starting point is 00:16:07 Elvin Hayes didn't have his best years there But he's one of the better players To play for them Does team make have any room To sniff this conversation No Do you want to go Rudy T Because the fans love him like that
Starting point is 00:16:17 It's like, low-key, I'm telling you, it's either like Rudy T or Scola. We'll go Rudy T. Okay. My Rudy T bag is not that deep, but you as a resident histonian, I believe you. I'll believe you that Houston rides for Rudy Tee. I promise you, I've seen a lot of Scola jerseys. Yeah. I hear you right.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Spurs. Quick one. This is Duncan. This is Wemby. This is Wemby. Two players. Duncan is the Iceman. He belongs here to.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Yep, Gervon. George Gervin. And even though he wasn't there for the championships, Gervin was like the original superstar for the team. Yeah. And then just put the other two guys up there. Put Tony and Manu. You don't put David Robinson up there?
Starting point is 00:16:52 Oh, I forgot about him. Would it be... That's a good conversation. Would it be Robinson over Gervin? Okay, so Monu's there. No. Mono is there. Has to stay.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Who's there? It's probably Monu. Because he stayed there throughout everything. Yeah, they love Manu. He, like, sacrifices a team. He embodies Spurs culture. Tony Parker did some unforgivable things. And also, too unforgettable things.
Starting point is 00:17:14 He went to the Hornets? Oh, damn. Yeah, but listen, he didn't do those things to the fans, right? It don't matter. And he impacted the fans, though. And they still won. They won. Okay, Tony P.
Starting point is 00:17:27 They won. Tony P was there for the whole Duncan era was a part of that whole longevity superstar era. God of finals MVP. God of finals MVP. David Robinson is a superstar. They're third best player of all time. He should be on there. Over Tony P?
Starting point is 00:17:39 Yes, but then again, over Gervyn? No. Gurvin got to be there. I mean, so Duncan won a championship there. I mean, David Rana champion there with Duncan, Gervin doesn't have that, but Gervin's a better player. Gervin's like an all-time great.
Starting point is 00:17:51 But I thought we weren't doing. No, I am, I am. But, like, that was like Spurred's history before these guys. Like, he is a major part. Like, he was their superstar. I imagine that means a lot to them. Yes, but then more history happens, and we get... Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:05 And we get... I'm looking at that, and I'm hearing this, and I'm like, damn, maybe Manu shouldn't be here. No, he has to be here. Manu is there. I would wrote him. I'm saying maybe he shouldn't be here. Low key, I think the Spurs
Starting point is 00:18:16 is such a winning organization They love him though It's kind of likeers Maybe you have to be the champions Because this championship Air means so much of them Maybe we do go Duncan Robinson Moni Parker
Starting point is 00:18:23 and say Gervin's gone Damn Okay Just for Mount Rushmore Damn Yeah maybe that makes sense Yeah And Tony P gets the last spot
Starting point is 00:18:31 Clippers Not a great History here So shout out to Chris Paul and Blake Griffin And Diodre Jordan And J.J.R.com And J.J. Reddy.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Does Kauai get a look? No. Hell no. He can't at all. I'm putting Pat Beb on this. Matt Rushmore before I put him. Pat Bev and Lou will for sure. So Bob McAdoo is on here.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Bob McAdoo is the only lock, I think. Do you go, Chris Paul? Chris Paul is a lock, too. Okay, Chris Paul, go ahead. I just wasn't there for that long, went out. I don't know. Chris Paul's a lock and so was Blake Griffin, too. Is Blake Griffin a lock?
Starting point is 00:19:05 A lock. A lock. A lock. Especially, especially after how, how dirty they did him. Yeah. When they put his jersey in the rafters and then traded him. yeah like you he is he is one of those guys last spot low key this probably where the famous role players going in it's probably elton brand for the last spot like the whole two thousands when
Starting point is 00:19:25 they were just dire like he was so beloved there like the same way nick colison's loved by the thunder imagine he's like a better player elton brand is that for the clippers because they have some other better players they have kawai they have paul george they have stars that like didn't leave their mark it might be elton brand you know what's crazy what What? It could have been Shea in that spot. It should have been Shea. Tragic.
Starting point is 00:19:49 But yeah, we're putting Elton Brand. Okay. No Danny Manning? I don't know a damn thing about Danny Manning and I won't pretend that I'm good. I won't pretend that that's not a lapse in my knowledge of the history league. I don't know a fucking thing about him. Give me 10 facts about Danny Manning right now, Donovan. Got your head did 10 Danny Manning games.
Starting point is 00:20:07 I just don't know. I can't tell you 10 things about Devin Booker right now. Orlando Magic. Dwight Howard. So is Dwight. Do we go Shaq even though it was only four years? Yes. Because they got to the finals with Shaq.
Starting point is 00:20:21 They did, okay. And it was still a young team. I think Penny, Penny Hardaway is still up there. Yeah, probably Penny. You can't know players after Dwight deserved to be on here. Yeah. So we'll go Penny. Damn.
Starting point is 00:20:31 Damn, you're right. Not a soul after Dwight deserves to be on here. Jamir Nelson. I got news for you, buddy. Yo, Palo Bank camera, welcome to them out of Westmore. He's a number one pick. Like, they don't have a lot of other all-time great. There's such a young franchise.
Starting point is 00:20:45 They don't have the time to. They got Shack and Penny right when their organization started. Then they lost them. Sucked for a little while. Got Dwight had the little era, had been downtrodden since. Is it like Dennis Scott? It's probably fucking Vosovic.
Starting point is 00:21:00 No. I'm not putting Moussvich, but like, Yeah. Who do they ride for? God damn horrors Grant. Do they love Rashall Lewis like that? Grant Hill chose to go there. Jamir Nelson?
Starting point is 00:21:12 Oh, Tracy McGrady. Oh, T-Mack was. It's raised him in grade number four. We did. There you go, yeah. Okay, TMAC. Yeah, TMAC had good years there. He got sold by lack of health around him.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I said, Jamir Nelson over Team Mac. Yeah. I just forgot about Team Mac. Okay. Jamir Nelson. Miami Heats. Shout to Dee Wade. That is his franchise.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Yep. His franchise is county. His county. Miami morning? Yes. Two MVP caliber seasons for them. Was there for a while? Was it stayed for the championship as a role player?
Starting point is 00:21:41 He still works there. He still works there. Low key Edonis Hazem has to be here too Sorry He ain't it but he has to be here Hasam was on there Last spot
Starting point is 00:21:50 We could go LeBron You know they got the best player At his peak Came and got them more rings I wouldn't even say LeBron Went out sad In terms of his relationship With Pat Riley
Starting point is 00:21:57 Jimmy Butler Took them to two finals In an era In which they should have been fucking terrible He came and saved That franchise single-handedly It just ended poorly
Starting point is 00:22:05 But they'll get over that I think long term I would say I'm not going Bron I'm between Jimmy Butler and Bosch. I'm not going to boss at all.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Because I think the fact that like Bosch is, the fact that Bach stayed after, after LeBron left and that his career got cut short, that in itself that like little mini era could probably boost it. I lead to me, Buller. I think the way that he carried that era and made them go from irrelevant to two final strips, I think Butler is a worthy pick. That's okay. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:36 I feel like LeBron might be more worthy than Butler because he actually got it done. And he got it done through like. The most after having the most embarrassing moment that any See, but this is not. They don't like him for leaving. They hate him for leaving. Like Pat Riley hates his guts. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:51 And I don't think this is not about, this is much more about the journey rather than like Yeah. But he had a journey within himself too. I guess. But that's more about. No key, not really. There's really no journey at all actually. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:02 They got their ass. Not stomped out, but that's about the 2011. And they got embarrassed in 2014. Yes, exactly. Half the time they got clapped. Oh, that's true. They just lived, little expectations. They did get clapped in 2014.
Starting point is 00:23:13 team yeah it's only four years and it's 50% successful nobody had ever lost the finals as bad as they lost the finals generational ass woman but Denver Nuggets obviously Yokic uh Alex English number two the best player of the 1980s true where mellow at does Carmelo deserve a spot you think let's do it they gave his jersey away immediately so I don't know yeah like I would think mellow probably like you would think he definitely like deserves a spot I'm out Rushmore but Maybe it's the fact he's overshadowed by Yokic. I'm like, do you see Mr. Nuggets? Let's pause and let's think about who else would take those spots.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Yeah, yeah. Jamal Murray does he sniff this conversation? Hell no. Hell no. Like Matumbo. They might love him because they damn your Matumbo, Aaron Gordon, Mr. Nugget. Aaron Gordon, get the fuck on it.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Once you get called Mr. Nugget, it's like, hey, man. Dan Issel, fat lever. Oh, David Thompson, Skywalker, early days. I don't know that David Thompson means more to Lakers and Carmelo. I mean, I don't know that David Thompson means more to Nuggets than Mello does, though. I think Mellow has to be up here. Okay, sounds like you go Mello and David Thompson.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Dan, Jamal, they say they don't love you. Why the fuck would Jamal be on here? What do you mean? No all-sars? You don't. Aaron Gordon don't have no all-stars too, and he's named Mr. Nugget. Different reasons. Exactly, because they just like him more.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Do they like him more? Because, again, the journey is beautiful. Mr. Nugget. The journey is beautiful with Jamal Murray, too. Like, he literally... He was about to tear his hamstring off the bone just to play in game seven. Like, they, like, Aaron Gordon is love. Chicago Bulls
Starting point is 00:24:44 I don't know Michael Jordan Jordan's Derek Gross Omere Rosses You think Derek Gross is on there Like for fan love Hell yes
Starting point is 00:24:51 Derek gross Yeah yeah Chicago loves him more than anybody He's ever loved Anybody Yeah So are we giving him
Starting point is 00:24:56 Like it's purely Fan love for him Are we giving that to him? I mean It doesn't matter What way you want You know Just longevity
Starting point is 00:25:02 I'm not saying It's not The peak isn't there But No he's definitely on there How many Chicago Bulls In history Ever won an MVP
Starting point is 00:25:07 Other than MJ It's probably just those two Yeah exactly I'm sure I'm sure it's just those two Mikeen do you want to be for the Bulls? Did he?
Starting point is 00:25:14 I don't know. I don't fucking know. Pippin. Scotty. Yeah, Pippin. He's there all the whole time. I don't think Robin has to be on here, but Pippin does. He's there for all six rings.
Starting point is 00:25:24 What about Jokim Noah? I would sooner... I would probably sooner go Rodman than Joe Kim Noah. It feels like it just has to be people from... Yeah. From the 90s. Yeah, because they have other good players. You can go artist Gilmore if you want or something like that.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Rodman wasn't like a bread there, though. He was already... He's only there. for half the chips? Yeah. Only half the chips. Only three chips. They got a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:25:48 I don't know. That's what I'm saying. So, I mean, Robin could be up there. I almost might say, no, because of the emotional reasons. I think that's probably
Starting point is 00:25:58 just a matter of our age, though. I don't think that those those are like historically super impactful emotional reasons. I feel like if you, just in terms of like,
Starting point is 00:26:05 you were drafted there, you went through deep playoff runs and all that, had plenty of, fucking Lou Alde? I kind of. Hell nah. He was better than
Starting point is 00:26:15 Just put Phil Jackson up there But coach Most what Dennis Rodman We'll just call it a day The three nucleus is Of their greatest team of all time That's fair Last one
Starting point is 00:26:24 Portland Trailblazers So clearly You have Damian Lillard on here Because he's He's arguably The best player And now he's to finish his career there
Starting point is 00:26:35 It's beautiful Oh yeah Oh he did go back home He went back We only forgot Clyde Jekler Clyde He's there
Starting point is 00:26:40 does the Marcus Alders belong here? I don't know. Probably not. It sounds crazy. It's not crazy. Like it sounds like it. Yeah. But probably not.
Starting point is 00:26:49 The way he left is so damning. The way he left as soon as like you felt the, oh shit, like Lillard Finn and snatched the fuck out of my chain. I don't know if he belongs here. But I would, Bill Walton. Oh, yeah. He definitely. He belongs here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Walton's number three. Yep. Yeah. And then I guess we've got to go Scoo Henderson. Highest pick they've ever had. I'm sure. Greg Oden Yeah
Starting point is 00:27:12 So we can go the We can go a couple options here We can go with the love that they never got to fully see To the end with Brandon Roy Brandon Roy is a fantastic We love him We can go Terry Porter Since he was on the team that made the finals
Starting point is 00:27:31 We can't put a what if on here Like friend Brandon Roy They do love him but why not That's like that's a different level In Mount Rushmore Love I think I would sooner put Lamarcus Alders on here than Brandon Roy personally I think with the way things
Starting point is 00:27:44 ended with Lamarcus He don't belong I don't know if they ended as bad as you think I don't think Portland hates him for life They're retire his number They were I don't think they were With the way he left
Starting point is 00:27:56 The free agency Yeah Because he was like He wasn't like go kill yourself He just left like it wasn't like It was like he hates everybody You leaving is telling them to go kill themselves Yeah like right when you have a star
Starting point is 00:28:06 Right when you have a star point guard your hands too and then you go to do nothing he went to go play with kawai it wasn't crazy they didn't oh nice you won 60 games first you did nothing the outcome isn't the point it was just like it was an understandable decision to go there no because you felt it felt like like he said yeah you saw the writing on on the wall
Starting point is 00:28:23 and you were like I can't I can't let this young guy come in and take my chain I'll give my chain away to kawai but I won't have it take it I don't think that's why he left I don't think he left out of this thing now he was insecure couldn't handle couldn't handle changing times So he left.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Let me see you step foot in Portland. Okay. Brandon Roy, it is.
