Basketball-reference.com made a mistake

They list Dennis Rodman as a PF for his entire career, which isn't true.

On January 23rd 1990, Rodman permanently took over the starting SF spot from Mark Aguirre.

The starting frontcourt was Rodman, Laimbeer, and James Edwards for the remainder of the 1990 RS and playoffs, as well as the entire 1991 RS and playoffs.

Dennis Rodman's back-to-back DPOY awards in 1990 and 1991 came at SF, contrary to popular belief.

This makes sense anyway, since Rodman guarded MJ a lot, and it would be impossible for him to guard MJ while Dumars guarded Horace Grant - Dumars guarded Scottie when Rodman was on MJ (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=359858).

Damn, MJ played with two of the greatest defensive SFs of all-time.

Rodman played PF on the Spurs beginning in 1994, and he would stay at PF for the rest of his career.

By the time 34-year old Rodman got the Bulls in 1996, he was still a very good post defender, but he wasn't the dynamic DPOY that guarded all positions anymore.

Infact, although he was a superstar off the court while playing for the Bulls, he made zero all-star teams for them.. Also, he only averaged 4 points and 8 rebounds on 37% for the entire 1997 playoffs, and only 3 PPG and 8 RPG in the 1998 Finals.

So MJ had to carry deadweight, MJ = GOAT :applause: :applause: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Not that I don't believe you, but could you find just one other than what the op said?

I've seen stuff like that before on there. Can't give you an example but I remember reading some roster from whenever and he listed a guy as PG and I was POSITIVE that year this player was a SG. I think sometimes, they just try to list the position the guy was most associated with and he gets years mixed up when he played a different position for a certain or year(s).
