We like a good sports debate here at The Arizona Republic, as long as the discourse is kept passionate, but civil, of course. We thought it might be a good time to ask our readers to weigh in on a question that comes up from time to time around the Phoenix area: Who would you place on the Mount Rushmore of Phoenix Basketball? Since Mount Rushmore has only four presidents, we are asking readers to keep it to just four picks from the choices we offer below.
