PIPPEN Vs. RODMAN Who was the BEST defender in Bulls History?

[97Bulls]

Once again. We are comparing Rodman's defense with Wallace's defense. It isn't even all that close.

Nobody is questioning Rodman's rebounding. Wallace could defend the PF better than Rodman could. He could defend the C position a whole lot better than Rodman could.

To say that Rodman was going up against scorers on a nightly basis is not true. Hell, Garnett and Duncan didn't come along until well after Rodman's career was almost over.

Rodman as an offensive player is way better than Ben Wallace; Rebounder- better; defensive player- better at defending PG-SG-SF (largely in-part to the hand-checking rule). And Wallace defended the low-post because he was a dominant shot-blocker. And defended the rim much better at the C position.

People are conveniently ignoring that without hand-checking, Rodman would have been pretty much useless on defense after the year 1995.

Your totally missiing the point. Heff and Code questioned my assertion that rodman in the 00s would clear the 20 per game mark due to the terrible low post big men. Heff referred to duncan, garnett and shaq (as if he'd be playing the three every night). I posted rodman numbers vs the 3. Which were damn close to 20 a game.

And why do you keep acting as if wallace played defense on the perimeter? He played defense solely in the post.

Then you keep referring to the hand check rule. It didnt apply to low post players. Besides, if ron artest who's nowhere near the athlete rodman was could win a dpoy award playing physical defense as well as guys like bruce bowen (who had a reputation for being extremely dirty), I see no reason rodman couldn't still be the dominant defender he was if he played in the 00s.

Wallace was a better interior defender but Rodman was a better perimeter defender, regardless of the position being defended.

I like how this thread has gone from Pippen vs Rodman to Rodman vs Wallace. Though I guess if you wanted to bring Wallace into the argument for best defender in Bulls history...:shrug:

Yeah, how did Wallace sneak into this thread. The only thing I would compare him to is the massive dark matter I leave in my toilet every day.
The only difference between the two is that one cost $60 million.
