I think it's perfectly valid to do a comprehensive Mt. Rushmore for any given sport, but I wanted to spin-off of the basketball Mt. Rushmore thread and look at each position.
Build your mountain however you can justify it.

Not mad at you. But can we put the dream on that list
He is number 5
As much as I want to put him above Shaq's lazy ass I can't
I went Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Hakeem, Patrick.
I like the symmetry of two greats from the same era on each end, think that Jordan's dominance should not disqualify centers from that era, and Shaq was too fat, lazy and undisciplined to be on my Mt. Rushmore.

You have Wilt on the list twice OP.
I voted Wilt, Kareem, Olajuwon, Shaq.
You can argue that Russell should be on the list but he was not as dominant on ofense as the 4 I named. Shaq possibably was the most dominant bigman of all time. The Dream had a couter offensive move for everything you tried. Kareem had the sky hook. Wilt is Mr. 100 pts in a game.

#13 Wilt Chamberlain
#6 William Russell
#33 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
#2 Moses Malone
Wilt so nice, OP put him twice in the poll.
I know. Is that something that can be fixed without deleting the thread, mod?
Also, Fuzzy_McNut is an asshole & selected every option in the poll if that can be fixed.
Shaq 22 years old and wasnt in his Prime and Still almost outplayed a PRIME Hakeem in 95.
Great post.
I got:
Kareem
Shaq
Wilt
Hakeem
I got:
Kareem
Shaq
Wilt
Hakeem
Shaq Dream Robinson Tim Duncan
The names in the poll primarily came from a top 25 centers list... Duncan was not listed.
Wilt - not only best center, best player
Kareem
Russell - a beast, refuse to lose
O'Neil - unstoppable and surprisingly athletic
honorable mention - Walton - never been a better passer at center

Russell - a beast, refuse to lose

cats got schooled in that other thread and now trying to make another one to solidify their points 
^^^ these are the greatest centers to ever play the game with SHAQ being #1, the only reason I put kareem on here is b/c he was the last of the old greats to really put it work in the late 80's and held his own...
but this dude came in the league and led the NBA in scoring his first three seasons, those muthafuckas had 0 competition!!!
will somebody PLEASE post wilt chaimberlains stats for his first 5 seasons...that shit is cartoonish, i wouldn't even brag if I were him, he played against NOBODY!!!

Russell was a beast on defense though.

As always these threads bring out the ignorant....

Anyway...start with Wilt,Russell,Kareem...fight over Shag,Moses and the Dream.
