wow dennis roman not hall of famer? winning with the pistons and bulls. the man has more rings than most of hall of famers. and he was really good. at 6'9 he gets the ball. i mean he just gets the ball. it was a skill, dennis knew where the ball was going to be after the first bounce off the rim or the backboard. the man was fast and furious and played mind games with people. he had speed, quickness, agility, and strength in the middle. he man could score easily as well. everyone thinks he's just defensive but damn, he can score at will but he doesn't need to because when playing with the pistons, he had thomas and dumars. and of course with the bulls, jordana and pipen.

the man is a legit hall of famer, 5 rings and 2 back to back defensive player of the year award and those defensive awards were back in the day when players were warriors and not chumps like todays basketball players sitting out with ankle sprains and toe issues.

Dennis rodman is a really good player yeah he won a couple of championship with the pistons but he was merely a role player on that team he was behind rick mahorn, thomas, dumars, the microwave and bill laimbeer. He didn't really showed his rebounding prowess till he left the pistons. He was not the most talented, biggest player but he had uncanny intelligent in the basketball court and a pretty good passer. He's rebounding skill is is one of the best he didn't have the big hops and the dude is only 6'8 - 6'9 and relied alot on positioning, bball smarts and his awesome timing on theball you can make a good argument with his HOF status prior to him joining the bulls and even then that is debatable he avg 13 rebounds per game which is very good but he avg 7ppg/58%ft his whole career. I'm not trying to take away his defensive awards but he only got it because of his insane 16-18 rpg which is very impressive.

With that said the rodman that joined the bulls was a 34 year old version that was a liability on offense avg 5.5/ 5.7/4.7 points per game and had a ft percentage of 50 percent, a fg percentage of 48/44/43 and bpg of .4/.3./.2. He avg about 15 rebounds per game during his stint with the bulls which made him invaluable and because of his passing and great bball smart that he meshed well under the triangle offense but he's role was like of consistent, smarter version of ben wallace that can't block that played with the early 2000 detroit piston. Like i said you can make a good argument with his HOF status but not a LIGITIMATE shoe in HOF compare with the likes of james worthy(top 50) and kareem(top 50) for magic, parrish(top 50)and mchale(top 50) for bird. This is the reason why everyone is on MJ's nuts is because before him the blue print for a dynasty is a dominant/HOF big man and multiple HOFamers on the team. For god sakes the starting center for the bulls was luc longley/bill wennington and bill cartwright.

I'm not downplaying the lakeshow and the celtics of the 80's cause they would definitely give any dynasty including the bulls a run for their money. I actually think that if the 80's lakeshow face the 90's bulls i think the lakers would beat them the matchups jas doesn't favor the bulls kareem would devaste the bulls inside and magic's height will compensate for pippens long arms and not to mention worthy,divac, byron scott I just don't think the bulls can outscore the lakeshow.

I have to agree with you that NBA has turned vanilla have you seen the superstars calls lately holy crap lebron shot 24 ft attempts lol he better score 40 points per game with that many free throws.
