That's probably the best comparison, but still, Millsap can't guard 1 to 5 and can't bring the ball up and pass like Raymond. And Millsap is one of the best passing PF in the game.
That is probably very close. He is not as good as Rodman rebounding and not as good a scorer as Pippen, but he is very close to the two of them combined.
Ironically, I think the closest comparison of Green is LeBron. A guy in a PF body who can dribble, pass, rebound, defend, and score. In short, he is the poor man's LeBron who doesn't need to dominate the ball.
Call me crazy, I'd rather have THAT than have LeBron who dominates the ball. That way I can build an actual TEAM.
Yeah, the only player that comes to mind, as Carl Herrera pointed out, is LBJ, but I've never seen Lebron guard centers before, although he could probably do it in spurts. It's tough, because Lebron's d isn't what it used to be. Maybe the best comparison is that Green is a less athletic version/lower middle class man's version of Lebron James. Edit: Didn't see Easy's post, but I was thinking along those same lines.
Green can actually make jumpers and while people may hate his antics, it's his passion that helps him become who he is
NBA playoffs are so garbage. Do these best athletes in the world really need this many days off in between games??? Geez
I'll admit: it's not like they're building tension by waiting so long. It's more like cruelty. Just put the Cavs out of their misery.
I was in Vegas for the past few days so I missed this thread completely. Anyone fill me in on bobbythegreat's meltdown? Last year his excuse was that GSW did not face any team without an injury and they would struggle to make the playoffs this year This year GSW have played all fully strength teams while winning two series pretty much without Curry and his excuse is refs are helping them. What are his takes on next season?

He hasn't given a take for next season, but it will surely revolve around his take for the current season--the NBA is fixing games for the Warriors.
I can't go with the Rodman comparisons. Rodman could bang with real legit scoring C's and be ok. Green was bothered by the likes of Kanter. I can't see him dealing with the bigs Rodman had to deal with.
