I remember having an argument with tinman a few years ago over whether Rodman was better than Horry. I think I know where you're going with this.
I meant in case your team has to build from scratch and you have not been blessed with Jordan and Pippen on your team, because Quitten alone could not be relied on Malone or Barkley would be my choice to fill the glaring hole on offense........ then you worry about the defense
Rodman is one of my favorite players, but Malone was better. Malone could be the 2nd best player on a championship team. If Dennis Rodman was the 2nd best player on your team, you're not winning a championship.
