The Heat win the 2011 Finals if you replace LeBron with Rodman or Love

Rodman was getting FMVP talk in the 1996 Finals, and they still barely won the series.. :oldlol:

I doubt Kevin Love plays at a FMVP level which would be necessary for the Bulls to win

No because neither of them would be able to get the 7 rebounds/7 assists and 47% FG that LeBron was able to get, which was better stats than 2nd 3 peat Jordan imo

Yes, easily.

Kevin Love averaged 15 rebounds per game for an entire season. Now you're just asking him to do it for a series and only have to worry about putting up 7 points per game

Yeah but he's not playing any defense. And the guy who is going up against him is Shawn Kemp, who was a physical specimen. Kevin Love's body would have been destroyed after three games.

Definitely. Did u even watch the series? Kemp was destroying rod. Rod was a great defender but sometimes guys just have your number in a styles make fights kind of way and kemp had rods number. Rod wasn't a huge defensive factor in that series so the question becomes is rods slightly better rebounding better than loves better scoring. I think it is but it isn't by much so yes bulls still definitely win.

They didn't barely win that series. They were up 3-0 . And game 6 wasn't never in doubt.

Rodman wasn't even guarding Kemp. Longley was.

Because Rodman had 19 rebounds...

Interesting question. Primarily bulls needed rebounding which Love could provide. Rodman however offered great & mobile defense. His athleticism was part of trapping + transition baskets trademark of the team. Bulls with Kevin Love are a less agile & defensively sound team. Probably still win on account of the bulls just having so much more talent than rest of league at the time

That's what I was going to say, but rodman would've finished games guarding kemp
