When the Bulls visited Detroit last April Detroit retired Rodman's number. It was okay but all the Pistons love was douchey.

Rodman didn't leave the Pistons under the best terms...His number definately should be retired in Chicago too..3 rings in chicago compared to 2 in Detroit.

So how many years do you have to play with a team before you qualify for getting your number retired?

The guys you mentioned only played 6 years with the bulls. And they were solid players. But never hall of fame type players. And they never had the impact on the bulls that rodman did.

Rodman won 3 championships and had 3 rebounding titles with the bulls. He helped the bulls set the record for most wins in a season as well as the second most wins the following year. He along with jordan and pippen transformed the bulls into a rock group. He was still arguably a top 5 defender in the league even out to 98. I think he was blackballed by the league for the off the court stuff he did. And it cost him all defense awards for those years. As well as getting suspended for kicking that cameraman.

Let me ask you this.... did wilt deserve to have his number retired by the lakers?

Yes, Wilt deserved to have his number retired. 4x allstar who played a pivotal role on both sides of the court on a regular basis.

Lol wilt was known as a defensive player with the lakers. I know he scored 15 ppg roughly, but that was a different era. The teams back then took a lot of shots and the players played a lot of minutes.

So wilts all-star game appearances trumps rodmans role on 3 championship teams? Come on heff. Your not really gonna try to take the stance that 2 xtra years and some allstar games is a bigger contribution to a team than 2 championships. Cuz they essentially played the same role offensively and defensively.

No they did not play the same role offensively and defensively. Wilt played the high post and the ball went through him a lot offensively. He was one of the first big men to play that style in the offense. He was not a non factor. Comparing Wilt offensively to Rodman at ANY time in Wilt's career is unconscionable.

Those Lakers teams didn't start winning until Wilt showed up...the Bulls continued where they left off once Jordan came back in actual basketball shape. And again, how are you going to put Rodman in and not put in Horace Grant? His role on those first championship teams was even more crucial, there was no other power forwards his size running a full court press defensively. Artis Gillmore had a better career as a Bull, so did Norm Van Lier in my opinion. Just because a guy was a great rebounder for three years, and "set trends" by getting tatoos and wearing a dress, that does not justify retiring his number.

Kukoc would have to get his number retired also. That is way too much. And it dilutes the honor. Dennis Rodman has his name on the banners. And I suggested that they have a night for him commemorating his induction into the HOF. But by no means should they retire his number and leave others who have done as much if not more for the organization out in the cold. Reinsdorf is very picky about who he gives that honor to when it comes to the Bulls. And I for one am glad that he is.

Kukoc and grant were never the best in the league at certain facets of basketball. They contributed, but never had the role in the league that rodman did. And rodman helped the bulls become a cultural icon of the 90s.

What was your fav. Rodman hairstyle?

my favorite hairstyle was the McDonalds cup they had for him, when you put ice in it, his hair changed!
