Lists are a timeless staple in sports culture to spark debate in and around the game.
Who’s in your top five, top 10, who’s your greatest ever? In individual cities, mount rushmores are a popular list option for debate, an idea inspired by the Mount Rushmore National Memorial site of four former U.S. Presidents carved in granite in Keystone, South Dakota.
The opinions of many may vary of who’s in their Atlanta sports mount rushmore, but two names who would probably be on most lists are Hank Aaron and Dominique Wilkins. Aaron died at the age of 86 Friday, and Wilkins met with the media over Zoom a few hours after the news broke to discuss the icon’s life.
