Here's the issue though, not only did Rodman's defensive rep outlast his defensive impact (because he wasn't nearly the same defender in Chicago that he was for most of his stay in Detroit) but that Chicago version of Rodman would have a difficult time adjusting to a player like Draymond. There was nobody in the mid/late 90s that had the skillset and style of play that Draymond has.

You laugh but to some extent he has revolutionized the game. How many players do you know that can guard every position on the floor, play center, shoot 3s, score and run the offense like Draymond can? That doesn't mean he's necessarily better than those players that came before him, it just means he has a different skillset/style of play. A skillset/style of play that Rodman NEVER came up against in the mid/late 90s.

Like is Rodman going to stop him from shooting 3s? Is Rodman going to stop him from running on the fast break? Is Rodman going to stop him from running the offense? Is Rodman going to him from driving and finishing at the rim? Is Rodman going to stop him from driving and finding an open teammate?

easily can say BORIS DIAW is the blueprint for it and why gsw use that small line when they even borrowed it from the spurs and even said they did

can run the offense guard every, position play center, shoot 3s, score and run the offense like draymond cuz he started

Absolutely, he definitely is the blueprint - Draymond has just taken it to ANOTHER level. You can see A LOT of the shyt the Warriors do, that Kerr translated from his time in SA. Which is why I don't get it it when dudes say Gentry is the genius behind the Warriors offense - he really isn't. This Warriors team is basically a souped-up version of the Spurs with triangle offense principles - Kerr basically took all his influences and mashed them up into one.

if we're going by '90s rules, then the current warriors aren't even better than those early-mid '90s warriors squads - when healthy.

teams back then like the warriors, sonics and barkley's suns could've got chips in this era........the sonics & suns could've knocked off those '90s bulls too, with todays rules.

There are very few defensive players from the 90s that could've covered the 3, the PnR, and dominated the glass... but Rodman is on the top of that list.

Guys like Rodman pretty much created the blueprint for the defensive fours you see today. He's not coming off the glass. That's just one L GS would be fated to hold in that hypothetical matchup.

To be honest, the Rodman that attacked the glass relentlessly and the one who could cover the 3 and suffocate the air right outta perimeters players are TWO different people. Rodman couldn't/didn't guard shyt on the perimeter in the mid/late 90s - he was more of a post defender rather than defending out on the perimeter (and it wasn't just because of the Bulls personnel - he no longer had the lateral quickness and opted to rebound more). Right about the time he started crashing the glass (1992) more regularly was when he didn't defend on the perimeter - about the same time Dumars grew into a star.

His lived off his defensive reputation for the second half of his career.
