Episode Title: The Mount Rushmore of NBA Legends Who Never Won a Ring

Episode Summary: Not all legends get jewelry. In this episode, we break down the greatest NBA players to never win a championship ring — and why their legacies still shine without it. From MVPs and scoring champs to playoff heartbreaks and near-misses, we’re carving out the ultimate Mount Rushmore of ringless greatness.

What We Cover:

• Career accolades and playoff runs that almost ended with a ring
• The rival dynasties and bad breaks that stopped them
• Their enduring impact on basketball and culture
• A spirited debate on who came closest to sealing the deal

Why This Topic Now? With playoff narratives heating up, and championship rings always dominating the GOAT conversations, it’s the perfect time to appreciate greatness in its purest form — without the hardware.

Episode Description: This week on The Mount Rushmore Show, we’re diving deep into the TV seasons that had us bingeing until 2am, questioning everyone, and pretending we could totally solve a murder if given the chance. Inspired by the final season of You and the recent wrap-up of The White Lotus Season 3, we break down our Mount Rushmore of murder mystery TV seasons — where one death kicks off a season-long descent into suspicion, secrets, and shocking reveals.

We talk character depth, cultural impact, most memorable quotes, and why we’re all still addicted to the art of the on-screen investigation. Is it justice we crave? Or just a really good twist?

Topics Covered:

• The evolution of the murder mystery format
• What makes a great season-long whodunit
