After a disappointing season with the Bulls, Lonzo Ball is focused on an off-season of full recovery. He expects to be playing again next season despite the franchise at point assuming that he’ll never play again after his significant injury setbacks. Reaching back to his best is now a goal for Lonzo, but what does he think about today’s best? He disclosed just that in “The What an Experience Show” podcast.
During the podcast, the Bulls guard revealed his Mount Rushmore of WNBA players; some of the names he left out were shocking. His Mount Rushmore consisted of Candace Parker, Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi, and Cheryl Miller. Notably, A’ja Wilson and Sue Bird were missing from the list. (After 13:32)
The 4-time WNBA Champion’s exclusion raised some eyebrows among his co-hosts, but Lonzo stuck by his choices. Wilson was another solid option left out, but Lonzo explained that she is the top dog now, but that doesn’t get her enough credit to be on Mount Rushmore.
Lonzo is no stranger to making waves with his actions, and LeBron James was also not safe from Lonzo’s pick. The former Lakers PG left the current franchise forward outside his exclusive list of greats.

Pitting against this team representing the USA were Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, and Anthony Davis. Surprisingly, LeBron James was left out of the list. According to Lonzo, the 20-time NBA All-Star is no longer among the top 5 players in the league.
It would’ve been interesting to see who he declared the winner between the two, but he decided not to pick a clear winner.
