Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen or Dennis Rodman?
Let's run the tale of the tape;
Michael Jordan:
2.2 Steals
0.5 Blocks
100 Defensive Rating
6.2 DWS
3.1% Steal Rate
1.0% Block Rate
1.4 DBPM
Scottie Pippen:
1.7 Steals
0.7 Blocks
101 Defensive Rating
5.3 DWS
2.5% Steal Rate
1.5% Block Rate
2.2 DBPM
Dennis Rodman:
0.6 Steals
0.4 Blocks
98 Defensive Rating
4.6 DWS
0.9% Steal Rate
1.0% Block Rate
3.5 DBPM
Now let's crunch some numbers!
Michael Jordan: 0.34 ISBDB

Rodman took Malone out of his comfort zone and got into his head two finals in a row
Without him, Bulls go to 7 in both series and might even lose but doubtful with the GOAT
Was in tears earlier this week when posters on here were claiming Draymond is better than Rodman
Draymond may be able to score more but Rodman changes the dynamic of the game when he touches the floor similar to Big Ben Wallace when the Pistons were dominating for 5-6 years
THE WORM!!!!!! one of my favorite players of all time
The second Bulls three-peat was one of the funnest teams to watch. MJ the GOAT, Pippen his sidekick, Dennis the psycho rebounder and defender with his antics, Phil the Zen Master, and a crew of role players like Kukoc, Longley, Kerr
What a team!

Excellent analysis, and proved what we already knew...
BTW, Rodman should have won the FMVP...

His offensive rebounding has instrumental in winning the series
Chicago took 474 shots to Seattle's 418
101 Offensive Rebounds to 67
The series went 6 games... Imagine if Seattle closed those two statistic gaps/differentials by 50%
Could have been a totally different story

Not only that, but Karl blew that series. He waited until game four before he put the Glove on MJ. Jordan couldn't hit a shot to save his life in those last three games.
