You are the casual you never saw Rodman play you bozo
They debating on Elon's app who had the better prime: Dennis Rodman or Draymond Green
- Thread starter Morethan1
- Start date
It's Draymond and it's not really that close. You can make an argument either way for one or the other on defense.
Where the case gets closed is prime Draymond on offense chits all over Rodman. And he did it in the big moments.
Oh, so stats DO matter when we analyze Draymond?
I thought his contribution can’t be shown on the box score??
Well if stats are back on the table you might as well close the thread. Rodman averaged wilt numbers on the boards while Draymond hasn’t averaged more than 8 boards in 5 years.
And offensively he ain’t been doin shyt since 2015. Steph goes down and 29 year old Draymond in his prime gets you 8 ppg. Rodman at the same age was averaging more than that and he was still coming off the bench!
This Ngga really brought up stats in a pro-Draymond argument
I think the first instinct for most people is to pick Rodman because he was really great with the Pistons.
He wasn’t as great with the Bulls. But he won championships with them and had the iconic video/gif falling over with Malone. It’s fairly easy to fall in love with Rodman because of his antics on and off the court. And 15-20 rebounds is something easy for the average fan to understand.
What Draymond brought to the Warriors in his prime really isn’t in the numbers, even though he’s had some good statistical seasons. It’s more in his intelligence and defensive versatility.
This isn’t close. Years ago I would have said Rodman. But with more understanding, it’s clearly Draymond. Like, laughably so.

He lowkey had a jumper. He just never used it.
Imagine thinking your opinion about Draymond matters when you posted this dumb shyt -
What in the entire fukk
I swear Draymond fans are a poison to sports culture. ‘rangz’ culture personified
And the irony is, Rodman has more rings than Draymond! But when we talk Rodman we don’t lead with ‘RAnGz’. We talk about something he tangibly did and his greatness
Draymond is closer to a robert horry—-a valuable and clutch contributor, but not that grata individually—- than he is to Rodman
What in the entire fukk is right.and oh yea, James wisemanWho’s OVER-qualified for a Draymond role but worst case scenario can do all that in his sleep
Stop talking hoops.

@Rhakim great post!!!
Your thoughts and point cover alot of the things I was gonna speak too....
Rodman was great defender especially in his Pistons days but it's funny his Spurs days are overlooked, he literally sabotaged those spurs teams, if we call Westbrook on Vampire on those Lakers teams Rodman was Count Dracula on those spurs teams but he wins 3 championship on the bulls teams and the rest of history....
no he didnt

Nah the smugness has me weak
‘Draymond, and it’s not exactly particularly close ‘
*looks at results, 80-20 Rodman*
Draymond fans let me help you, you’re stuck in 2015. Before KD, yes Draymond had a certain role. They don’t win without him!! But his entire career arch shifted when then they add KD. Draymond became expendable. Draymond green, jamychael green, Tom green, ngga anybody at the 4 they was winning a chip.
Then in this new title run he’s not in the big 3, hell he might not even be in the big 4. Not only is he no longer their most important defender —-that was Andrew Wiggins—-the man single handedly almost cost them the series. Al horford busts his ass for 30. Draymond has a terrible first few games so much so that him simply not fukking up in games 3-6 had peope saying ‘Draymond back’
meanwhile for the series he shot 33% from the field and 2/16 from 3. 12%. He is the walking definition of ‘he wit us’.

Draymond is probably a more gifted player...
...but Rodman maximized his skillset like none other.
he knew his role and executed it flawlessly
it gets no better
Dennis didn’t maximize shyt on offense lol. And Draymond is probably the definition of maxing out your game.
These weren't lucky shots
Breh he shot 23% from 3pt for his career, 15% in the playoffs.
Rodman was a 54% free throw shooter, his shot was ass pure and simple.

If you say Rodman you just have a 90's bias, dude was a straight 0 on offense

thats kind of my point.
anyone else wouldnt even have a sniff of the NBA.
he was such an asset on the defensive end teams worked around him.
