Highest reasonable ranking for Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman? 

Post#1 » by ceiling raiser » Wed May 10, 2023 7:50 pm

To preface -- this is not an anti-Jordan agenda thread. I am very high on MJ, and think his prime/peak was the best ever. He's my first pick to start a team (still). I think LeBron has surpassed him on the GOAT list given his amazing longevity, but that's no slight.

That said...

These three guys were terrific defenders. In the case of Pippen, a great two way player. But where do they rank all-time?

Do all three have strong top 100 cases? Any have strong top 50 cases? Or top 25?
Now that's the difference between first and last place.
