The idea of a Mount Rushmore of the NBA has been making it’s rounds all season and most just have a rotation of the same 10 players. Joakim Noah, however, has the name Corey Brewer in his top five.

Noah made waves by telling his top five to SLAM Magazine's Adam Figman.
Joakim Noah just said his all-time Dream Team is Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Dirk Nowitzki, Corey Brewer, Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson

Now a few things stick out about his top five. One, the name Corey Brewer could be Noah’s attempt at trolling the media and the idea of a Mount Rushmore. Brewer and Noah were teammates in college at Florida, so this could be a nod to a close friend.
Dirk Nowitzki is also a nice surprise on this list because he is severely underrated in the league's hierarchy and will soon be retired. Dirk is the one aging star that no one seems to be talking about, probably because the Mavericks haven't been all that great since winning their NBA Championship.

Brewer, for all intents and purposes, is not a top five player by any stretch of the imagination and has averaged 9.9 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists in his seven-year career. Noah has been a goldmine of quotes and information in 2014 and we in the media are grateful.
