Let’s get to business.
› Rushmore of “spice” — “Sugar and spice and everything nice” (what little girls are made of), Spice Girls, pepper and maybe “The Spice Who Loved Me.” Whatcha think, Spy?
› Rushmore of sports stars who have famously changed their names — Jabbar, Ali, Marvelous Marvin Hagler (who officially changed his first name to Marvelous, which is — cue Billy Crystal as Fernando circa 1983 SNL — “Mahhh-valous,”) and Chad Ochocinco narrowly over World B. Free and the super-cool Stylez G. White, a journeyman football player in the early 2000s formerly known as Greg White before taking on the name as tribute to the sidekick character in “Teen Wolf.” No, really.
› Rushmore of most universally recognized athlete-number combinations — Jackie’s 42, Jordan’s 23, Gretzky’s 99 (well, he or Wild Thing Rick Vaughn), and Richard Petty’s 43. (Dale Sr. and the Babe both are iconic 3s, which devalues either’s claim to me.)
› Rushmore of most emotional Masters wins of the last 50 years — Jack in ’86, Tiger in ’19, Rory on Sunday and Phil’s first major in 2004.
