This is a tough one because do I include the ABA days since that was an Indiana Pacers team, and they did get some championships in that era. I would say that I would have to include that era of Pacers. So first off I start with Reggie Miller. He did so much for the state of Indiana really. I still remember those playoffs, and especially going against the Knicks. Indiana had this aura of being "hicks" and you would see signs of "Hicks vs Knicks." Reggie essentially took on New York, which is all played out in that great ESPN series "Reggie vs NY Knicks." Check it out to relive all those great moments. He's my first pick for the Mount Rushmore. I would throw up Bobby "Slick" Leonard. He coached those ABA teams to their championships, and he's on the announcing team for the Pacers now. I love hearing him call a game with Mark Boyle. It can be quite entertaining. I am not a huge historian of those ABA days, but I would probably pick George McGinnis as one of the members of this Rushmore. I've heard him mentioned as one of the key members on that team. Finally, it's hard picking another player, but I'd go with Rik Smits. He was the center for the Pacer teams that I can fully remember and supported, so that seems like the best choice. Let me know your thoughts on this Mount Rushmore.
