I think it is a valid question. Mainly because it was said that Micheal started the trend that you didn't need a big time center to win a championship. Micheal never beat a top center-led team, and when Shaq and Hardaway beat Micheal. What does chicago do? They go out and get Rodman. I am just saying that Micheal never proved he could beat the best center in the game on equal ground.
Rodman would have gotten inside Shaq's head <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ShgwXBVaVwM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
With an ailing Horace Grant and the help of the best defensive player in the league. It was clear that, Micheal Jordan aside, that Chicago team had vastly better talent than orlando that year. No way they would have beaten Kobe and Shaq in their prime and on the same team.
Rodman was tough. He was an actual thug. He would probably show no remorse if he literally killed someone on the court...
