Mount Rushmore of Anything Pt. 1

In honor of ESPN's new segment, "The Mt. Rushmore of Sports," I've compiled a little Mt. Rushmore of my own, of anything, Pt. 1. 

Mt. Rushmore of Athletes:

Michael Jordan
Babe Ruth
Pelé
Muhammad Ali

These are the only consensus best players their sport has ever seen. Joe Montana was the first name off, but a strong case could have been made for Jim Brown, therefore weakening the argument for Joe Cool. Apologies to Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky, and Hulk Hogan. 

Mt. Rushmore of Guitarists:

Jimi Hendrix
Eric Clapton
Robert Johnson
Eddie Van Halen

We go rock god, blues/rock god, blues god, and shred god. Apologies to Jimmy Paige and Duane Allman. 

Mt. Rushmore of Prematurely Dead Actors:

James Dean
River Phoenix
Heath Ledger

RIP James "Rebel Without a Cause" Dean, River "Joaquin's dead brother" Phoenix, Heath "Casanova" Ledger, and Selena. 

Mt. Rushmore of Kevin Spacey movies:

American Beauty
L.A. Confidential
The Usual Suspects
The Negotiator

Apologies to "K-Pax," "Pay it Forward," and "Se7en." 

More to come, maybe.

Spacey movies look good, but Gretzky definitely needs to be on there. no one greater.
