Jay Williams, an NBA analyst for ESPN who starred for Duke<\/a> in college, took issue with the sports world using the term “Mount Rushmore” to describe the best of the best.<\/p>\n

Williams pushed back on Stephen A. Smith\u2019s claim that if Stephen Curry defeated LeBron James in their playoff series this year, then the Golden State Warriors<\/a> star could knock James off the NBA\u2019s Mount Rushmore. However, he was unhappy with the Mount Rushmore verbiage mostly.<\/p>\n

“Can we first off just stop with the Mount Rushmore talk,” he said, via Awful Announcing. “They\u2019re not even the four best presidents this country has ever had. Everyone in this room was not even able to vote. I just want to say that off the top. That\u2019s our metric for success? That\u2019s our king?”<\/p>\n

Williams\u2019 colleague Jalen Rose gave a similar take in August.<\/p>\n

FLASHBACK: \u2018MOUNT RUSHMORE\u2019 TERM IS \u2018OFFENSIVE\u2019 AND SHOULD BE \u2018RETIRED,’ ESPN\u2019S JALEN ROSE SAYS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Rose went as far to say that using “Mount Rushmore” is “offensive.” He said he wanted to cancel the term because the monument was built “on top of dead bodies” of Native Americans whose land was taken from them.<\/p>\n

“Can we retire using Mount Rushmore? That should be offensive to all of us,\u00a0especially Native Americans<\/a>, Indigenous people who were the first people here before Christopher Columbus,” Rose said in a video he tweeted. “That land was stolen from them when it was discovered that it contained gold.<\/p>\n

“And 25 years later, to add insult to injury, four American presidents were put on what we call Mount Rushmore on the top of the dead bodies that is buried right underneath. So, I call for you and for myself \u2014 I’m owning this, too \u2014 let’s stop using\u00a0the term Mount Rushmore<\/a>\u00a0when we’re talking about our favorite rappers, talking about our favorite movies, talking about our favorite players.”<\/p>\n
