I know you never watched pistons Rodman nor saw him in college. As Rodman is a better player in every facet incomparison to Draymon.

I watched Drayton in high school to college and pros and kn no day was he ever anywhere near Rodman as a player.

Rodman played NAIA ball at Southeastern Oklahoma in the early 1980s, you were not watching his college games or Draymond's high school games, just stop it. :dead:

Draymond defending 1-5 in this era were 5s are shooting threes isn't as impressive as when Rodman was playing. Does anybody think Draymond could defend the likes of Shaq, Malone and Hakeem?

He got suspended by the team multiple times and got benched at several points during the playoffs while openly bytching about the team. He also missed a month of one season due to a motorcycle accident that the coaching staff had warned him about. As a result he only played 49 games his 2nd season there, just 26 of them were starts, and the Spurs dealt him for cheap the moment the season was over.











It's strange that people keep claiming his impact was huge in 1998, but then say he was washed in 1999.


And folk forget that he had a lot of problems in Chicago too.





Wtf does off the court shyt have anything to do with how he played?
Draymond punched one of his damn teammates in the face and knocked him the fukk out, is that relevant? No!

You can go watch those games.

Just like you never supplied a rakim rant worth a damn. While trying to be some amalgamated spelling.

Which I have watched.
I actually watch games sir.
I actually rant games sir.

Things you will never do. While trying to be glad you got a slammy. While never being this great slammy award winner you flaug like. When all slammy awards are a consolation here to not being me.

I was watching old games on film before you were even conceived lil nikka. So stop the cap. You don't know this source material and I can easily expose you like I always have on any subject here.


So play with it and get tabled up.

You clearly didn't read the articles. Rodman wasn't even getting on the court due to that "off-court shyt". That's why he only played 49 games his 2nd year in San Antonio, just 64 and 55 his first two years in Chicago. You aren't helping the team if you're not there.

And both the Spurs and the Bulls were benching him at times during playoff games for letting the team down. That's on-court stuff. Did you not even look at the articles?

Why wouldn't Draymond be able to guard Malone? :dahell:

Draymond would be able to guard Shaq and Hakeem at least as well as Rodman guarded them. Remember, Rodman guarded younger skinny Shaq, not prime Shaq, and only for spot duty. And when Rodman was on the spurs Hakeem tore them apart for nearly 40-15-5 that series, so clearly neither D-Rob nor Rodman were stopping him.

I remember the Blazers putting Brian Grant on peak Shaq, so the Warriors would definitely put Draymond on Shaq at times. It wouldn't go well, but Shaq would struggle getting pulled out to the 3pt line on the other end too. I remember sometimes he got beat by old-ass Sabonis from the perimeter.


This is Shaq's PLAYOFF defense on the perimeter in a tight WCF:



Pulling Shaq out to the perimeter regularly would definitely have disrupted their defense.

I find it shocking people would say easily one way or another. Pretty compatible careers if we are being really serious. Rodman was a much better rebounder and Draymond better offensively. Both very good defenders who each was a part of 4-5 championship squads & who won DPOY awards.

Draymond Green fighting his teammates because he know he the odd man out :mjlol:

Draymond gonna be playing for the League Minimum next year. Also, we all know why Draymond is labeled as the "Leader" on the Warriors: that was the work of the media to discredit Steph Curry.

Draymond Green, the Heart and Soul of Golden State :mjgrin::mjlol:

Surprised no one bought up how the era/rule change benefits Rodman here.
He could be way more physical on the perimeter and in the post than Draymond can. Draymond even being comparable to Rodman in this current era is impressive within itself

Above the fray.
Yeah, dudes are making up shyt about Draymond guarding Shaq. Like when they said he could guard Kareem.

Rodman was a physical wonder in terms of strength and stamina. Which is why he held his own against young Shaq, and could do a passable job guarding those dominant 90s bigs...who had size, strength, and length advantage over him.
