Pops as the next Rodman - Why not?

i know we're starved of athletic big men, but jeez... the nut hugging is approaching epic proportions. let the guy prove he belongs in the league first.

He was unique to say the least

As the Worm Turns

Man, thanks for that. Brought back memories, good and bad..haha.

That one clip with him dancing with Antonio Davis was hilarious...Davis looked unhappy.

Rodman had great instincts, and hustle like a mofo.

I'm not sure he was that athletic though.

Phil Jackson recently said that Dennis Rodman was the greatest athlete he ever coached. He never saw anyone with as much pure energy and stamina than Rodman had.

Take that for what its worth. I happen to agree. The dude never got tired and gave you everything he had. If Pops became half the player that Dennis was, he might last longer than a 10 day contract.

I'd like to see Pops make the team but some of the nonsense on here about him is just plain silly. In fact, just give the guy a break. He's hungry and wants to make the team. He can obviously dunk and moves well on defense. Other than that, the fact that he hasn't made a team for longer than 10 days has to tell you something.

None of the coaches are gushing over the guy. Not even his former Toros coach. During his interview with 1250, he seemed to say that he "could be a good player...will certainly give you effort"...but that was about it.
