Will we ever see another Dennis Rodman?

[Inactive]

NO to Farried.

Ben Wallace is close enough but in terms of speed and athleticism, Rodman is way above Wallace.

Rodman is on a totally different level in terms of hustling. Wallace on a different level clearing out space, and low post defense. Totally different players, and styles. Faried at least has some of Rodman's hustle/motor.

Also Rodman has the charisma that can attract many fans.

Rodman attracts fans in the way a freakshow, or train wreck attracts a crowd. He's completely devoid of charisma.

with regards to rebounding? possible. with Rodman's personality? no.

[Fresh Kid]

Chrish bosh will wear a wedding dress one day

[G-train]

Which Rodman?

The 6'6 small forward or the 6'8 power forward?

Rodman > Wallace at man to man defence in low post.

About as close as Anthony Randolph is to Kevin Garnett.

Yeah I love Faried but he gets really overrated around here.

[talkingconch]

Artest is the only honorable mention you retards

[CavaliersFTW]

Kenneth Faried is close.

[Straight_Ballin]

Faried and birdman??!
Kevin love?

No those fu*king scrubs are NOTHING LIKE RODMAN.
I swear half the idiots on here didn't even watch bball before "the decision"..

Early Ron Artest honourable mention in terms of defense. I don't think well see another defender like Rodman though due to rule changes and the pussyfication of the league..

Well what do you expect? It's all these kids got to try and compare to Rodman. It's not their fault that they never got to see the golden era of the NBA.

[Kobe_6/8]

**** no. Rodman played for junior college and didn't debut until age 25.

[StephHamann]

No.

I don't think there will ever be another player who puts all their effort into the "little things" and tries to master it. Espescially this generation of kids where they either want to be a shooter or shotblocker..

Jae Crowder only got his spot in the NBA because of hustle. That kid has fire. Now he tries to improve his overall game, but in the first Dallas years he was 100% hustle.

[kennethgriffin]

Kevin Love is 6' 7.75" and got 16 rebounds a game over 3 months. not that hes Rodmanish really. Rodman was a man to man defender before anything else until he was like 30.

and thanks to lebron ball we'l never in our lives witness that ever again

[poido123]

League would blackball a Rodman clone and find a way to pin something on him, so he won't ever play in the NBA again...


No way the league allows a Rodman character to do what he used to do now.

[Lebron23]

Tristan Thompson

[poido123]

Tristan Thompson

That's the closest comparison I could think of.


Not an elite defender though, which Rodman was. Not the craziness either
