Let’s handle our business.

Rushmore of best second-round picks in NBA history. Nikola Jokic (2014), Alex English (1976), Manu Ginobli (1999), Dennis Rodman (1986).

Rushmore of best MLBers since 2000. Pujols, Ichiro, Kershaw, Cabrera.

Rushmore of albums with a color in the title. “Purple Rain,” The White Album,” “The Black Album,” “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.”

Rushmore of all-time golf nicknames that do not involve an animal. Boss of the Moss, Big Easy, Boom Boom and The King. (Animals, of course, Tiger, the Golden Bear, the Walrus and Shark.)
