that's why i'm voting for Rodman and not Big Ben

I love ben, and his time will come

So even though Ben was better than Dennis, because Dennis was put in a better situation, that means he is greater? That makes just about no sense.

Vote Robert Horry while you are at it.

How is Ben better than Rodman?

Rodman is the greatest rebounder of all time. That is a big deal.

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.

be my guest. vote for Ben.

I'm a huge big ben fan.

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.

VOTE = Paul "Top 50 player of all-time, top 10 SF of all-time" Pierce

#50 spot should go to Tracy "Legendary SG Peak" McGrady.

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.

Is he..."greater"?

Im not sure he isnt.

No, I'm not voting with multiple names. I just copied StateOfMind's vote.

Don't take my votes too seriously anyway. I'm the casualest of casual fans.

[crisoner]

It would be a crying shame that Big Game James would be left off the top 50 list.
