It's not, but what I'm saying is, it doesn't really mean anything.Jagr and Lemieux being better players isn't exactly controversial in my opinion.
Didn’t know Jagr and Lemieux were part of the OP.
He's not even head and shoulders above one of his teammates the last two years.Didn't know you had trouble counting to 4. I think one player can wind up on Mount Rushmore, I think the other won't.
McDavid is head and shoulders above everyone in a way I haven't seen since the greats in the 80s. Tough concept I now realize for a few.

Every criticism you're throwing at Crosby (Malkin had better years, Mario is their best player) could easily be thrown at McDavid (Draisaitl had a better year, Gretzky is their best player).
But he's really not in his own tier. He has one Hart trophy and he's not even in the discussion this year.I disagree with that. Love Draisaitl too. Just think McDavid is in his own tier in this league.
Agree with the second part, nobody is Gretzky.

Gretzky has nine Harts. Howe has six. Lemieux has three and would have about a dozen if Gretzky stuck to lacrosse. That's Mount Rushmore.
McDavid is not that. To be fair, I don't think Crosby is either (no knock on either of them) but you can't make that argument for one and not the other.

Yes and I choose McDavid because he reminds me more of the true Mount Rushmore players.
Crosby. Guy was robbed of the Hart in 2013. Tied Ovechkin in points (who played the full season). Finished 3rd in points in the league. Missed 25% of the season.
That's not even Crosby's peak.
Crosby's absolute peak IMO was in 2010-2011, too bad it got shortened by injuries. That was the best player hockey has seen in the modern era.
