Arizona Sports Mount Rushmore

Glenn asked me who I would put on my Arizona sports Mount Rushmore which was difficult because of the selection we are presented with. I went with Barkley, Lute Olson, Gonzo, and Fitzgerald if we win the Superbowl. But I would like to know who you guys would put on it. This one is easy c'mon.

    lute olson - made arizona an upper echelon team every single year
    charles barkley - the funnest basketball personality ever, took the suns to the finals and won an mvp
    randy johnson - the dbacks first superstar, won 4 cy youngs, was co-mvp of the LCS, and threw a perfect game
    adrian wilson - the anchor of the cardinals, the only perennial pro-bowl defender on the team, declined more lucrative offers from other teams to stay with the cards

    honorable mention:
    larry fitzgerald - great cards wr but has only been with the team for 5 years (will probably bump off wilson when it's all said and done)
    steve nash - 2 time nba mvp, made the suns fun to watch and defense irrelevent
    al mccoy - not an athlete, but is the best sportscaster ever...... ever.
    luis gonzalez - the dback's kurt warner, great stats and all around good guy, had the game winning hit against mariano "the hammer of god" rivera
    keith tkachuk - made hockey somewhat relevant in az before gretzky came here
    hunkie cooper - the brian westbrook of arena football during his time with the rattlers, plus his name is "hunkie"

    Apparently Glenn listens to the same sports talk programming that I listen to. This was the question on Tirico and Van Pelt last week.

    But it is a great question especially with the sports twist.

    I think I would choose...

    Lute Olson, Brandon Webb, Al McCoy, Larry Fitzgerald

    My criteria was...

    longevity

    franchise-ness

    importance

    Arizona-ness
