    True. I'll take it. That's a solid squad.

    Almost as ridiculous as someone who never saw Porter play live as a Blazer acting as though his opinion on Porter's career is definitive.

    Everybody stands on one end of the court, and the first to peg Ha in the groin 3 times wins. The Kobe Stopper and Bonzi have a side-bet to see who can enrage more people in the Northwest. Damon must climb through a hotboxed crawl space in an airport to reach Jason Quick for inevitable post-game mutual self-pity rant.

    I realize this is more reality show than Mt Rushmore, but have you checked out who our president is? It is not a Mt Rushmore kind of era.

    Everybody talks about the 7 Seconds or Less Suns, but the Jail Blazers really were ahead of the times.

    It's pointless to do since the Rushmore IS the best sex position

    This got me thinking about how to rate players across eras and positions.

    I used stats only from when the players played for the Blazers.
    - I started with Win-Share (x1) as a baseline.
    - I then added points for PER (x1),
    - Playoff Games (xPER/50),
    - All-Star Appearances (x10),
    - All-NBA 3rd team (x15),
    - All-NBA 2nd Team (x20),
    - All-NBA 1st team (x40),
    - NBA MVP (x50), and
    - NBA Championship (xPERx2.5).

    Add all those together to get the final rating -

    Using this as a baseline for my Mt Rushmore by position:
    (C) Walton, C Robinson, Sabonis, Duckworth
    (PF) Aldridge, Lucas, Wallace, Wicks
    (SF) Kersey, Gross, Steele, Vandeweghe
    (SG) Drexler, Roy, Paxson, Petrie
    (PG) Lillard, Porter, Twardzik, Hollins

    Everything is subjective, of course. But it's fun to compare some of these great players from the past.

    Interesting. I'd say you're probably undervaluing playoff games and over-valuing the all-star/all NBA selections. But still, interesting to look at it formulaically.

    Yeah, I only included players with 3 or more years with the Blazers. With Nurk's new contract, I'm hoping he'll climb this list fast.
