Frank Giardina: Basketball Mount Rushmores at WVU and Marshall

In recent years, we’ve been embracing more of our sports history in our state. For example, we have seen a growth of basketball statues and monuments.

We now have Jerry West and Hot Rod Hundley statues at WVU. Former Marshall great Hal Greer now has one at a Philadelphia 76ers practice facility. Greer has had a major street and interstate exit named after him in Huntington since 1978. Former Charleston High great Curt Price has his own street in Charleston. Former WVU star Rod Thorn has an interstate exit in Princeton.

So, to take that one step further, if we had a WVU and a Marshall basketball Mount Rushmore in our state, who would be the four faces carved into the mountainside overlooking Morgantown and Huntington?
