Everyone has their Mt. Rushmore of NBA players, and Philadelphia 76ers star forward Jaylen Brown, who is entering his first season with his new team, surely has his as well. The Sixers recently shared a video of Brown answering a few questions, including one about which players are on his personal Mt. Rushmore.
Now, Mt. Rushmore only has four faces, but Brown got a little more generous, naming five players on his list. He named Los Angeles Lakers legends Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Boston Celtics great Bill Russell, Chicago Bulls icon Michael Jordan and his 76ers teammate, LeBron James.
You can watch him answer that and other questions here:
-Kobe Bryant
-LeBron James
-Michael Jordan
-Bill Russell
-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

The 29-year-old Brown is beginning a new journey in the league after the Celtics shockingly sent him to the City of Brotherly Love via a trade with Philadelphia for a package that included Paul George.
In 674 games for the Celtics, Brown averaged 20.0 points on 47.8 percent shooting from the field and 35.8 percent from behind the arc, 5.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists.
The former NBA Finals Most Valuable Player, however, is still in a good position to win another title even though he is no longer with Boston, which took him third overall in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft. In Philly, he will be running alongside James, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and the rising VJ Edgecombe.
Hopefully for the 76ers, trading for Brown would later translate to the ultimate success in the league, which is none other than an NBA title, something Philadelphia has won just three times in franchise history and most recently in 1983.
