8x All NBA Defense (7x-1st, 1x-2nd, 0x-3rd)

7x Rebounding champ
2x NBA All-Star
52nd Highest Defensive Rating in NBA History :lol

Rodman was a role player that happened to do his role better than anybody else. I wouldn't say he was a better player, but he would impact an already good team better.

[Leetonidas]

For being a dress-wearing tranny faggot: Rodman

For bible-thumping and zealous preaching: Robinson

Overall: Robinson

[Juggity]

I really can't imagine any GM in the world (possible exception greece?) building a winning team with Dennis Rodman as the centerpiece. Talented role player, no doubt. But he was on the right teams at the time (except the spurs of course :lol)

yeah I was gonna post all those stats but I decided to filter them and only pick the ones that matter...except for the Sportmanship Award. That shows he's a good guy.

meh...

Evidence itself should be a thread closer... :sleep

The problem is that many Spurs fans here are swayed by the trolls' unsubstantiated/agenda-driven drivel... they end up believing crappy takes like:

"David was soft"
"Shaq always dogged David"
"Hakeem always outplayed David"
etc...

instead of supporting their own...

If you think I'm exaggerating go back a scrutinize these "trollish treads"... see how many alleged 'Spurs fans' end up believing the lies uttered by the OP in those respective threads. You'd be surprised how many fans don't know their own team's history.

Damn, that sounds like quite a player. He must've led his team to a bunch of championships.

A team that has a good center

[LkrFan]

Rodman and it ain't even close. Rodman with Spurs = 0 rings. Rodman with competitive competent championship talent = 5 rings. Let's go to the tape:

Rodman:5
TD: 4
Admiral: 2

Stats don't lie :downspin:

You tossed out all credibility and revealed your troll intentions with that asterisk, tbh. Now that I've revealed you for the bitch you are, please see to it that you don't make threads anymore.

Hakeem was by far the best player on the court in that series. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Bearer of stupidity. MVP is a regular season award. Get with the program Geronimo.

He won that award for grandstanding against an awful Clippers team in Game 82. His award was invalidated in the WCF.

[Leetonidas]

If you say so. When was the last time an MVP won the title? Duncan in 2003? Shows that the MVP is just a regular season award tbh

Not winning a title is not what invalidates his MVP. Getting face-raped by the rightful MVP is what voids it.

[Leetonidas]

Who are the rightful MVPs since 2004? Serious question I'm too lazy to think about it

No wonder the natives were owned by a bunch of pale legged skinny white boys from Europe.

I'm interested to see how GNSF can use me in order to win this argument.

Since 2004 the rightful MVPs are as follows:

2004 KG
2005 Shaq
2006 Kobe
2007 Dirk
2008 LeBron
2009 LeBron
2010 LeBron
2011 LeBron

[jacobdrj]

I'd love to try and build a team around Dennis... I am NOT being sarcastic...
If nothing else, it would be a fun ride...

[Spur_Fanatic]

Robinson.

Rodman was a specialist.

[mavs>spurs]

rodman was a role player imho, dude played a pivotal role in their second 3-yr C'streak but he was still a role player after all. d-rob was a true leader of the team and the spurs were a regular 2nd-round maker in those years. the difference between d-rob and rodmayne is just like that between chris webber and ben wallace imho, both were great players but their roles were sheer different

Yes yes, that's it. Don't hide your pain. We will get through this together.
