mount rushmore of basketball

Hall of fame is plenty, ( IMO) only mike would be 100% unanimous , for hoops, no one in football,
My personal fave
Jabaar at his best unstoppable all time leader in points 6 mvp
Mike mj had it all but a reliable 3 ball
Kobe a (small) tick below mj
Lebron give him mj or Kobe will he or shaq would have killed a dude playing
Dream, African didn't touch a basketball till he was 17 yrs old, somehow man became lethal from either block, face up, great help defender and no one blocked shots like him

Nfl
Elway till any qb takes a 4-12 team to 3 diff superbowls ( yes blowouts) had he played in the west coast or these spread attacks he would have every record
Reggie white unblock able
Barry sanders is was and forever baddest dude in the open field
Deon wow ordinary looking dude in person up close but when the lights came on magic
Lt cocaine chasing tail kept him from no.1 but name a better cat off the edge

Football:

Jim Brown(The Goat)
Lawrence Taylor(Greatest defensive player of all times)
Jerry Rice
Joe Montana
Barry Sanders
 
Kareem - the MOST unappreciated GREAT team sports player of ALL time
Lebron
Jordan
Bird
Duncan

Wilt/Olajuwon tie, can't pick Shaq due to FT shooting
Kobe - the most gifted SG in history and the best highlight film since Jordon
Magic
Malone
Robertson


NFL - harder to pick but some of my thoughts
Reggie White was great but Right tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, Eric Williams was BETTER! HE WAS PHILLY NASTY. I am a Cowboys fan and when Big E finally got to play, Reggie couldn't beat him. If E hadn't crashed his Benz into that overpass, he was a Hall of Famer. That crash messed up his knee.

Deion Sanders best DB ever. PHENOMENAL athlete. I mean you just didn't throw way. The only guy I saw give Deion trouble was a big rough guy like Michael Irvin.

Bruce Smith/Randy White. athletic and great motors. I read once where the great OL Jackie Slater of the Rams told his QB Pat Haden he couldn't block White

Lawrence Taylor and really everybody else as LB.

Jerry Rice best career. Randy Moss, THE most talented ever. Big, fast, great hands. A freak is what I read in Pro Football draft scouting report. Calvin Johnson is big and fast but I don't think his hands are as good.

RBs, damn...I think Eric Dickerson doesn't get his due. 6'3, 230, sprinter speed, and a glider. Guys didn't realize he moved as fast as he did.

Earl Campbell... Power/good speed. I saw All Pro Isaiah Robertson try to tackle Earl. Earl saw him, dip his hip and just EXPLODED into Robertson. It was like Isaiah was shot in the chest by a 12-gauge. If you can find it on Youtube, it is worth the look.

Tony Dorsett. My favorite. As Trey Wingo of ESPN said, the "most elegant" RB ever, only about 5' 10" 190 but smooooooth. fast, cat quick. Just looked good running. Even now many Cowboy fans old enough to remember, pick him over Emmitt. Amazing he lasted 12 years!

Emmitt, not real big not very fast but damn those FEET! As close to Walter Payton in style as any.

Barry Sanders, fast, brakes like no one else. You would see guys scared to move for fear of being embarrassed.

On point till the block Reggie line lol, already in his 30's when going against williams , Reggie in usfl then philly was unblock able
 
actually if you go to Pro Football Reference.com, Reggie's sack totals in his 30s varied little from those of his 20s. He had the following seasonal sack totals in the 1990s when Eric Williams played
