Old Rodman outrebounded prime Shaq for the Lakers in '99 and he didn't even get that many minutes.

On shooting drills Rodman would sit under the basket and watch the rotation of the ball so he could rebound better. Dedication homes.
Lakers are 22-3 in OT last 6 seasons:Kobe best OT closer!

Rodman is the best all around defender ever. He could disrupt any player in any era. He guarded all 5 positions at an elite level. We'll never see someone capable of guarding Jordan and Shaq again.

no one is shutting down lebron in any era. people romanticize former greats too much. rodman was a great defender but i saw kemp, malone, barkley do serious work against him. yes, he made it tougher but let's not act like every great forward was scoring well below their numbers vs the bulls.

You made my day - 80's Pistons or 90's Knicks disagree - he would never get this easy layups or pathetic calls he usually gets

not to mention he would have a field day getting into lebron's head, which appears a bit fragile as it is. Imagine a crazy Rodman chasing you around all day, not even stopping to take a single shot on the basket.

According to fans. Bill Laimbeer always has spoken highly of most of todays players, and implies players in today are better and LeBron is the best of those.

so ? still LBJ is great athlete - no doubt . It's evolution of medicine , workouts etc but.. attitude, passion et is way behind guys who played 15-20 yrs ago ... Skills are more or less the same probably- but head - 80's 90's guys would eat him alive

Its amazing that the perception of Rodman has changed. During those times, most fans hated Rodman and many complaints were he wasn't worth all the headaches. Even players on his team couldn't deal with him. MJ and Pippen didn't like him as a teammate, they barely spoke to him. Phil had to talk MJ into just dealing with it. During those years I remember telling people how great of a defender he was, and probably the greatest defender I ever seen at least in my top 5.

Rodman won, Lance doesn't. The internet only accepts your fu*kery if you got silverware to show for it. Otherwise your just a childish loser.
