Ben is one of the best rebounders of all-time too and Ben is also one of the best defensive players of all-time and was a defensive anchor. Rodman was not a defensive anchor. He was a versatile defender but he couldn't anchor a defense and block/alter shots the way Ben could.

and why would i vote for Horry?
Ben Wallace was actually the best player on the 2004 Pistons and the only player who made the allstar team. Not to mention he finished much higher in MVP voting than anyone else on that team. Rodman on that team and that team loses to New Jersey in the 2nd round. Rodman needs veteran leadership on a team to do anything. He sabatoged 2 seasons with San Antonio.
Re: #49 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops
Rodman is a hard one to call. He pretty much makes you decide if greatest player even considers the 95% of the time a player is not scoring. because he was good to all time great at all of it ball handling aside. Just about everything that happens on a basketball court...that isnt for the purpose of scoring? He was good to great.
Might be the GOAT rebounder. An all time great man to man defender. He was a smart team defender. He could pass. Run the floor well. By all accounts he was as hard a worker as anyone ever saw. set great screens. Defended all 5 positions at one time or another(he guarded everyone from guards to Shaq).
Hes not scoring...but for 6 years in a row hes getting 6 offensive rebounds a game. How do you disregard 6 extra possessions a game? He has 10 points..but 34 rebounds...18 on offense(game vs the Pacers....it happened)? And the teams wins a close game? Why does it matter he didnt put the points on the board himself? who is more responsible for them when hes creating the possession from scratch?
Is Rodman going to make the Bobcats improve more than Pierce in his prime? No.
