damn, new york has got to be the toughest city to just single out four players. it's hard enough to pull out 4 yankees alone, much less draw from all sports. your list has no slouches on it though, that's for sure.

Arguments can be made for Willis Reed and Patrick Ewing over Frazier. Arguments can also be made for Mickey Mantle and Lou Gehrig, though certainly not over Ruth. Seaver and Taylor are unquestionably the best players the Mets and Giants have had, so it's hard to keep them off this list. And even though this city has seen some hockey greats, none were great enough to bump any of these fellas. Plus, most of those guys played on Long Island.

I love LT, but no football player was ever as beloved as Joe Namath.

And as much as I see you on Babe, the gap betwen him and Gherig, Mantle, or Dimmaggio might be a lot closer than we think in TERMS OF NEW YORK BELOVED-NESS. Mantle was woven right into the fabric of the city, as was Dimmaggio. Babe was too, but played before New York was New York.

does new york need a football player? new york (sorry) isn't really a big football town, relatively speaking. the only two sports that need to be represented on ny's wall would be baseball and basketball. it's very hard to keep it down to one yankee. can you really keep joe d off that list? joe meant more to new york than taylor did. then you think about all the great athletes the new york area produced or nurtured outside of the big four sports and it gets REALLY hard. Like, was John McEnroe more representative of New York than LT?

the one thing in LT's favor is that so many new york sports stars did coke.

I hate to say this...but my head tells me Namath over LT...if it's just one football player....

Joe D would have to be there....

I can accept a DiMaggio, Mantle or Gehrig, but I entreat you to take a look at ole' Joe Willie Namath's numbers compared to a few other NY QBs:

Att Comp Pct. Yds TD INT
Joe Namath, 1965-76 3655 1836 0.502 27057 170 215
Phil Simms, 1979-93 4647 2,576 0.554 33462 199 157
Ken O'Brien, 1983-92 3465 2039 0.588 24386 124 95
Y.A. Tittle, 1950-64 3817 2118 0.555 28339 212 221

I rest my case.

Name me another New York Athlete that is so identifiably NEW YORK, that their nickname is none other than one of the most the city's most famous avenues?

"Broadway."

You are in severe denial if you think Lawrence Taylor is more IDENTIFIABLY NEW YORK and is MORE BELOVED than Joe Namath. We are NOT talking about BETTER. We are talking about Mt.Rushmore, as in those athletes who the city LOVES. Who the city IDENTIFIES WITH.

"Broadway Joe" IS NEW YORK CITY. PERIOD. He IS the swagger, the brashness, that characterizes New Yorkers.

Putting up stats is irrelevant.

I mean seriously, which New York Giant back do you feel is more identifiably a Giant, Joe Morris, or Rodney Hampton?

Joe Morris, of course. Rodney Hampton, however, is the NYG all time leading rusher.

ALSO, Kerry Collins' single season numbers DWARF most of Phil Simms' best single season numbers.

Again, you can't go by numbers.

Namath is in, period.

(C)Keith Murray, "

while namath was excellent and a huge part of NY lure he also embodies a lot of the NY hype that sucks so much about the city. his numbers do tell a story of a cat who didnt deliver every year and certainly does not deserve the consideration he gets as greatest ever and speculation that his win over the colts was a fixed game lingers until this day (the nfl largely suppresses this but there was a feature on it on espn classic not long ago).

LT on the flip side was the absolute goods and if you look at a hard-partying, crack smoking lunatic, you got a pretty fine new yorker in my very biased opinion (as I wear my I *broken heart that says FUCKING HATE* NY t shirt to sleep here). He came through huge, won two super bowls and dominated the game in a manner that I have never seen a defensive player do, and i have seen a little bit (of the best) of the 60s bears, eagles and packers stuff with three of the most dominant LBs around.

i could see the namath idolization argument and since i put dimaggio in over ruth (very questionable in retrospect) i guess i can dig, but i like taylor personally...

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

I think he's mad overrated too. I'm not really feeling him like that at all, but if we are talking about athletes that define a city, Namath gotta be there.

LT is one of my favorite people on earth. I love LT. An interesting facet to LT's mystique is that he wasn't nearly as interesting to the media during his career as he was after it. He was never a soundbite guy during his career. He wasn't like a Ray Lewis, who the media went to for clever comments. LT was just LT. He was rather quiet, had a lot of repressed anger, but loved his coach, and took it all out on quarterbacks.

This might have compromised LT's overall fame in NY. Yeah, pretty much know who it is, but not like Namath. Namath has commercials. There are tons of photos of Namath on the sideline with his fur coat on and shit. Dude is just mad mad famous.

And oddly, I TOTALLY FEEL YOU on putting DImmaggion in over Ruth. I thought I was the only one who would have considered that. Ruth was of course, Ruth, but Dimmaggion was king of new york when New York city was more identifiably New York City. Ruth was King too long ago, I think.

(C)Keith Murray, "

Namath was a bigger celebrity than he was a football player. The fact that he was on Brady Bunch and shit and had his picture on billboards created a legend that didn't necessarily match up with his athletic accomplishment. His fame is bullshit hollywood/madison avenue nonsense.

And I I've also heard that story about Superbowl III being fixed. In this book I read recently, "Going Long", former Colt and "Police Academy" star Bubba Smith makes that claim. If it's true, that has to tarnish the Namath legend.

L.T. might not have been a media darling, but to real football fans in New York, the man was a God.

Ha ha... but yeah, there's way too many greats in the city's sports history to go looking for people who played on the Island, or the rest of the greater NY metro area for that matter. Long Island can put up it's own Mt. Rushmore of sports, which I'll post shortly.

Mickey Mantle
Lawrence Talyor
Walt Frazier
Sugar Ray Robinson

Mantle - you can't make an argument that Mantle, DiMaggio or Gehrig were *better* than Ruth, but the Babe is really bigger than NY; he's more representative of baseball and America as a whole than just NY. And DiMaggio was royalty in NY, but Mantle was a god - nobody was ever more loved by Yankee fans than the Mick, so I'm gonna have to go with #7.

(Personally, I would take Gehrig: he was born and raised in NYC the son of immigrants, starred in baseball AND football at Columbia, and spent his whole big league career in the Bronx - that is reppin' NY to the fullest, and no other town can lay claim to him. But Mickey was and is the most beloved by the people, so the popular pick has to be Mantle.)

LT - if it was solely the bright lights, big city argument I'd say Broadway Joe, but taking into account both fame off the field AND greatness on it, Taylor had it all: LT had the larger than life NY personality and swagger AND was a true all-time great on the field, so I gotta go with Lawrence. The fact that Ken O'Brien - KEN O'BRIEN - was actually quite more efficient at QB than Namath over their Jets careers just seals that decision in stone (I repeat, this is *Ken O'Brien* we're talking about here, folks - this point cannot be stressed enough)

Walt Frazier - Willis was a rock for the Knicks, but that was Clyde's team, and he had the flair and style both on and off the court to be quintessentially NY (Sorry Ewing, but Clyde has the rings and the style to rep NY and you don't - them's the breaks)

Sugar Ray Robinson - perhaps the greatest boxer ever, learned the sweet science in Harlem and fought out of NY, and was an original ghetto fabulous uptown cat, making him one of the first superstar athletes with that kind of flair - he's NY through and through.

i had pretty much the same list except dr j instead of frazier, he got his start in LI and at rucker then moved onto play for the nets. if you have to pick a knick, sure clyde or possibly reed, but i would go with the doc for the same reason that people pick mike for north carolina. if he had gone to st johns, seton hall etc instead of umass it would be a shoe in but for now i could see serious debate for the lazer.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Do you pick cats who played in the city as in Boston? Cats from the area like in Indy? Combination heads like in Philly (Bednarik, Chamberlain, Frazier)? I dunno.

Frazier is Mr Knick without a doubt, trumps Brooklynite Bernard King in the bball spot BUT what about legends of Rucker like Tiny Archibald or Long Isle's Julius Erving who also played for the Nets? I dont know who I would take but I would lean towards Erving over Frazier since he lit up the playground and the ABA hardwood in NY, though had he gone to St Johns or Seton Hall instead of UMass it would be a much easier argument to make for me.

In football, LT was the man but Frank Gifford and them might have something to say about that. Still, I will go with LT, best defensive player I have ever seen.

Boxing has gotta be Sugar Ray Robinson, was born in Georgia (not sure exactly where) but definitely cut his teeth Uptown. Maybe the greatest boxer of all time, gotta get the nod.

The Rangers have had some greats but considering the Yankees' success they gotta be left off of the mountain along with the Mets (the two best fizzled with dope in doc and straw although tom seaver and casey stengal might have made cases for themselves) and Jets (Namath=over-rated!).

The Yankees would be tough though, certainly Ruth is the most famous but thinking about Dimaggio (the most idolized in Yankee history), Mantle (possibly the best all around player) and Lou Gehrig it might not be so clear cut. All things considered, I would probably go with Dimaggio, the Italian factor in NY is pretty heavy and Babe Ruth played so long ago that his achievements are at once a marvel and a mystery.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

Robin Yount
Al McGuire
Bob Uecker

it's tempting to throw in more of the old Milwaukee Braves (Warren Spahn, Eddie Matthews, etc.) and then there's Kareem and the Big O, but the bulk of their careers weren't here. this is a really tough call.

Reggie White

If that were the case, Barry Alvarez would belong on the list as well. The Milwaukee list should be Robin Yount, Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, Al McGuire and Hank Aaron.

nah, he kinda bitched his way out of milwaukee. he wanted warm weather and a more attractive market. that's why i left him off. all the other guys were more loyal to the city.

As well as their other Finals appearance in which they came within one win at home of another. The franchise still hasn't recovered from his departure.

I'm not exactly with the way MJeff conducted himself when he took off his Bulls uniform for good, but that doesn't mean I'd leave him off the Chicago Rushmore.

Believe me i loveded prime time since when he had two nicknames but the fact is he left to greater success elsewhere. He went to more Pro Bowls and played more years elsewhere.
Fact is he blew up in Atlanta as a personality immediately, but become the shut down half the field corner we remember only by the end of his five years in Atlanta (92,93).
Meanwhile we went 30-50 as a team. Send a lot of the blame for that to Jerry Glanville? yes.
Say Deion was the bright spot? yes.
Recognize he didn't want to stay and build a champion in the A, also an unequivocal yes.
That alone disqualifies him.
I've seen him bigging up Emmitt and Michael much more often more than Gerald Riggs or Aundray Bruce or Tim Green. To my eyes he doesn't identify himself as a Falcon so why should I?
