Still the obsession with 7 foot height remains.
Well, the all-time scorer is 7'2", so there is that.
And the only guy to average 50 a game for a season was 7'1". And many would say that this same guy was a better rebounder than Rodman.

Which series?

Both Utah series he was benched multiple times and always in foul trouble for instance.

Rodman was arguably FMVP of the 96 finals. GOAT impact, defense, rebounding and sportsmanship. Too bad he couldn't play that way most of the 3-peat.

Not really. Were you even alive when that series took place? Rodman started game 1 against Kemp and Kemp lit him up, scoring 32 points on 64%. After game 1, Phil switched Luc Longley onto Kemp for nearly the entire of the remaining series.

Taking it too far saying he was a shell of himself. Though I agree his absolute best was on the Spurs because Rodman was a perfect complement to Robinson.

In 1997 he ag. 27mins a game and avg. 3.3 fouls per game
1998 he avg. 30mins a game and just under 4 fouls per game.
That's definitely not "benched"

97' and 98' Rodman was 36 years old and older than 2010 Shaq - he averaged 4/8 for the entire 97' Playoffs and wasn't even the starter in the 98' Playoffs.. He wasn't all-defense and hadn't been an all-star since 92' (Shaq was all-star MVP in 09')

Rare for someone to come out and say "I didn't watch a minute of those series."

Disagree. On the Spurs he was a menace and that's when he became a household name. The only reason why it didn't pan out was off the court issues with David Robinson, showing up late for practice/games and among other antics. But his defensive intensity and rebounding were at a high for him.
