i dont have a strong stance on it, but glavine as the 1 of the 3 headed monster is an interesting choice.
He has Game 6 vs the Indians, and he was the only one drafted by the team. I can understand it.
I'd have listed off several different names for the fourth spot before I got to Dominique Wilkins. Dale Murphy, Smoltz, Maddux, Niekro, Matt Ryan all come to mind.
All four of Atlanta's should be Braves players.
ETA: Do this again in 10 years and they will all be Braves players. Acuna will knock Wilkins out of the picture. Hell, I think he's the most talented player in his sport that Atlanta has ever seen.

Mickey Mantle, Larry Bird, Willie Mays, Greg Maddux, Wayne Gretsky, Sydney Crosby and a bunch of other legends didn't make the list.
Hank Aaron made it for two cities.

I don't know who you remove, but Larry Bird has to somehow be on Boston.

Boston is a tough one.
I can see the argument for the four Sporting News listed and Larry Bird. They also left out Yaz.

Hell, the only one of the four they actually picked (Brady, Ted Williams, Russell, Bobby Clarke) who could actually be debated is Clarke. Brady, Williams, and Russell are pretty easily the three best/most decorated players from Boston teams.

New Orleans should be:
Brees
Manning
Jackson
Colston
HM Tracy Porter for making two of the greatest plays in team history with game winning ints in the NFCG and Super Bowl.

Should've been Lee Nailon

quote:Charles Barkley. The Phoenix list is weird. I really don't understand how this is even a question. He's more significant to the Suns franchise than even Nash. I'd actually replace Nash with Barkley and Taurisi with Shane Doan, if we're sticking with the hockey thing.
Phoenix too. Diana Taurisi?? Or whatever.
Does anyone outside of the WNBA even know who that is????
Take her out and put Kyler Murray on....that is stupid.

Or Jackie and Mays.

The whole Mount Rushmore concept wears me out. Why does there have to be a Mount Rushmore of everything?
Same with giving every scandal a -gate suffix. That’s stupid. It was the name of a hotel.

NYC gets all the pub whenever a team does well and has for 100 years and they still have 2 guys who batted back to back in the 1920's and 1930's on theirs.
You can't really make a big argument against either.

I'd argue Pete Maravich should be on there to add a basketball guy. Led the NBA in scoring while he was with the Jazz. The only jersey the Pels have retired (other than Russell which is league-wide).
