I'm sure the unanimous choice will be Rodman (for both peak and career), but I certainly don't think it should be
Why's that? Though Ben is a great player, he has no valid argument to be a greater player than Rodman was.

I agree. I just don't think it should be a UNANIMOUS decision. Let's just say....I don't give much weight to regular season performances.

Ben Wallace's career playoff numbers are barely better than Rodman's. 7.2 PPG/11.2 RPG compared to 6.4 PPG/9.9 RPG.

Literally nobody picks Ben Wallace in this discussion. If they do, they didn't watch Rodman play or they're just trying to be antagonistic. He impacted the game without scoring in ways very few players have been able to do.

if ben played during the primes of olajuwon, shaq, robinson, ewing, mourning and motumbo he would have zero dpoy's, all-star games, all nba-team or all-nba defense award.
...and of course zero rebounding titles.
...and if you factor in pace, the rebounding margin would be bigger.

Rodman was the greatest rebounder in the history of the league by a big margin. Better than Wilt.
Of course it's Rodman.

This. Check out Rodman's rebound rate (rebounds per 36 minutes or whatever you want to call it).
It's like a straight line across the board. He only went up or down in RPG due to minutes.
He was a ****ing machine.
