Yesterday, LeBron James revealed that he thinks he's going to belong on the Mount Rushmore of NBA players at the end of his career. When everything is said and done, he believes that he's going to go down as one of the four greatest players to ever be a part of the NBA. And he was very defiant when he was asked a question about his place in history.

"I'm going to be one of the top four that's ever played this game, for sure," he said. "And if they don't want me to have one of those top four spots, they'd better find another spot on that mountain. Somebody's gotta get bumped, but that's not for me to decide. That's for the architects."

Of course, LeBron's statement—like almost all of the statements that LeBron makes these days—generated a large response on Twitter. It's actually gotten such a crazy response that, at the moment, #NBARushmore is trending and NBA fans, NBA analysts, and even people who don't seem to know anything about the NBA are revealing who they would put on their #NBARushmore.

A lot of the responses are the same. People are throwing out names like Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, and, yes, LeBron James and putting them on their #NBARushmores. But we've also come across quite a few real silly #NBARushmores. Like the one that this guy suggested with Brian Scalabrine—yes, Brian Scalabrine!—filling up all four slots:

#NBARushmore Brian Scalbrine, Brian Scalbrine, Brian Scalbrine and Brian Scalbrine
