Re: Official #47 NBA Player Of All Time According To ISH
I'll take Dennis Rodman again. Arguably the greatest rebounder/role player of all-time. Also the most versatile elite defender of all-time.
Re: Official #47 NBA Player Of All Time According To ISH
Rodman. Great defender, rebounder, and really knew how to get in the minds of the players he was defending against. Played on winners.

Re: Official #47 NBA Player Of All Time According To ISH
I again vote for [B]Dennis Rodman[/B].
- A member of 5 NBA championship teams.
- Led the NBA in RPG 7 consecutive seasons and is arguably the greatest rebounder in NBA history (I'd at least place him in the top 3).
- Awarded 2 Defensive Player of the Year awards and 8 All-Defensive Team selections. He's one of the greatest defensive players in NBA history. He could play primary defense on everyone. When with the Pistons, he often guarded Michael Jordan in late game situations. With Chicago, he guarded Shaquille O'Neal.
- He was an underrated passer. It made Rodman valuable to a team's offense. He could handle the ball and create plays with his passing. He averaged as much as 3.1 APG in Chicago; for a player who barely scores more than that per game and plays in the post, that's incredible.
-Rodman didn't score much, but he was efficient, as his career .521 FG% and a season leading the league in FG% attest.

I was having fun...none of the people who could possibly win the last round interested me in the slightest. :)
I was going to list Spree's accolades here, but I see "The Worm" has a legit shot, so my vote goes to Dennis Rodman!

[B] Post-Bulls career[/B]
After his stint with the Bulls, Rodman became a journeyman. He briefly joined the Los Angeles Lakers (wearing number 73) and helped them to a 17-6 record while averaging 11.2 rebounds per game. However, Rodman had taken a leave of absence for personal reasons and was released soon after. The following season he would join the Dallas Mavericks for 12 games. Rodman averaged 14.3 rebounds per game for the Mavericks. However, the Mavericks still had little success and Rodman was released after some critical comments of Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. After a long break, he has played for the Tijuana Dragons of the newly-formed American Basketball Association, competed in three games for the Brighton Bears of the British Basketball League and one game for Torpan Pojat of the Finland's basketball league, Korisliiga.
