NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson might as well have just included every coach on his Mount Rushmore. 

On Saturday, Johnson tweeted out his best four coaches. The only problem is he included five. His list included Steve Kerr, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Red Auerbach and Gregg Popovich. 

Um, that's one too many. 

Johnson could have just included Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, Doc Rivers and all the others who were named among the league's top 15 coaches last season. The Mount Rushmore is one of the most intriguing debates in sports history. It is often a talking points among the media, fans and players. 

Spoelstra definitely deserves mention on the list. He has won two championships in six NBA Finals appearances. The Heat have made the Finals in two of the last four years, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 and Denver Nuggets this season.
