G has put the first face on the mountain with Ramon Galloway. Who else belongs? I don't think those types of players come along very often. Was Lionel Simmons on that mountain? No question he had the "it" factor and tremendous talent. He lead by example but was a quiet guy. Is he on the mountain?
My vote is Doug Overton. Had the talent and the personality. He's on the mountain.
Who else?
A friend mentioned to me that he didn't consider Jameer Nelson or Ed Pinckney as "passionate energy" guys. Both had the "it" factor but weren't very vocal and certainly didn't possess Galloway's personality.

Give me an L-Train on the Mt. Rushmore of Impassionate Energy over just about anybody else every time.

I wold nominate Darryl Gladden. He would get into teammates faces pretty good on the court if he felt they weren't pulling their load. On the flip side, I'd have to say that the late Reggie Miller could be nominated for the Impassionate Mt. Rushmore. He was a very laid back guy on the court.

I would like to nominate screamer. Shout out for the Candyman, rest his soul. And I'm pretty sure that G said "passion and energy", not "passionate energy". |

Wrote a 1000-word article about it. Was standing 6 feet from the man when he said it, but I would have sworn he said Passionate Energy. Looking at the tape just now, you are right. He said it three times in the press conference though...and I think everyone believed they heard what I wrote. |

Will never make our hall of fame, but put me down for Milko Lieverst, and going back further, George Paul.
