Would all of this be enough in your mind to put Robinson up to around the 16th or 14th all-time spot in Nba history?

It is worth noting just how close Robinson came to beating Hakeem and the Rockets almost single handly in the 1995 Wcf as Rodman was doing nothing defensively to help Robinson deal with Hakeem besides trying to stat pad rebounds on that end of the floor.


Which in my eyes was incredibly selfish of Rodman and might have cost them the series as if Rodman had provided help defence to help Robinson deal with Hakeem in games 1 and 6 they might have won those close games and therefore the series.

DRob was a great player but I can't unsee what Hakeem did to him in the playoffs.

I agree but you have to remember that Rodman was not providing any help defence what so ever which left DRob all alone to fend for himself against Hakeem that entire playoff series

His 1999 ring was still a 1b type ring, so it adds some value. Giannis is the modern day David Robinson. Both players are great but ran into generational talent (Hakeem, Kawhi).

Giannis right now is pretty much in the same position as 1996 David Robinson is, so imagine if Giannis won a ring now? That would increase his value a lot.
