Who are the four Mavericks that belong on their Mount Rushmore

That's a good question. Obviously Dirk. Best player and draft to retire 20+ year career with Dallas.

It's hard to put Terry, Nash and Kidd there because half or more of their career wasn't here. Harper spent a few years as a Knick. I don't think Finley, Perkins or Blackman were that good. And Aguirre had issues. That means, for me, Luca is the only other one even though he could spend the next 10 years as a laker, lol. That said, Harper, Finley and Kidd are with us today in other roles.

So for me, Dirk, Luka and two of Kidd, Finley or Harper.

Kidd, has the checklist of draft, championship, coach but way too much of his prime career was in Phoenix and New Jersey.

Luka and Dirk are a slam dunk,
Mark Aguirre was a great player. I forgive the way he left after all these years. Nash and Kidd had their best seasons for other franchises. My fourth is a very close call between Rolando and Harper. I give a slight edge to Rolando even though Harper was great.

Kidd is key part of 3 WCF, 2 Finals and 1 ring, he has to be there.
4th is up in the air, JET, Harp, Fin, all fit...

Dirk Luka Jet Kidd. If adding one more, it will be Nash.

However THJ could have been there too.

No Dwight Powell or JJ Barea option?

Give me rings.

Dirk, Terry (I think some Mavs fans overrated Terry but he was an integral part of that championship... what he did in games 6 & 7 of the finals was huge, and he started the comeback in game 1). Kidd.

You can add Tyson Chandler and Shawn Marion to the list for me. Maybe JJ Barea too.

Mark Aguire was a head case and was traded because of it. Traded for a very good but less talented player.

I loved Ro Blackman. Definitely a championship piece but unfortunately it did not happen here. He was a better player than Harper. Harper had gaping holes in his offensive game.

Luka's story is still being written.

Dirk
Luka
Kidd

I think those 3 you have to put up there. Kidd did take this team to 2 WCF's (hopefully more) as coach, and technically is the best player ever drafted by the Mavs since the other 2 were trades on that night.

The 4th is one of those things you put a bunch of name sin a hat and pick: Barea, Terry, Blackman, Harper, etc

Here is one........

Former NBA player and current Utah Jazz coach Jason Terry brought his basketball experience to Kansas City this week for his Relentless Basketball and Mental Health Camp for boys and girls at Hickman Mills Middle School. “There’s no bigger confidence than the confidence you have in yourself,” said Terry, who played in the NBA for 20 years for various teams.
