During the past 10 days, I've heard numerous debates in the NBA about what players would be on a Mt. Rushmore.
Have to admit these debates have been interesting and stimulating.
So I've decided to have two blogs.
The first will focus on Detroit Sports then the second will be a National Version. To have four great individuals in a category will definitely make one think especially since we were all brought up in different eras.
It's so easy to get in a debate and I welcome this because it certainly keeps the Wheels Turning. There are no wrong answers.
Sometimes opinions are made just not through history but who we've seen perform.
So lets get started.

As I said earlier, this is an easy group to omit people, but when the time comes that Mt. Rushmore has five presidents instead of four, then it will make it a tad easier to add another name.
Some names that could have been added to these lists include the likes of Jim Campbell (Tigers) George Blaha (Pistons/MSU), Jim Devellano (Red Wings), Ken Kal (Red Wings) and Bo Schembechler from the Michigan Wolverines.
But oh well, it is what it is.
