How is it even possible that this thread is on the topic of Olajuwan/Mourning/Mutumbo???

Glad we got Feazell to commit, now were back on track. Thanks!
All I'm saying is that Rodman would find the going a lot tougher against Lebron James than he would James Worthy. And like I said, he probably wouldn't see the floor because the disadvantage on offense would be too much to overcome in the modern game. But flame on Rodman lovers.
Umm, any player has a hard time guarding Lebron James. That doesn't really make your point. And as far as I can tell there has only ever been one Lebron James.
And the idea that Rodman wouldn't see the floor because he wasn't a good offensive player is ludicrous. Not every team is the GSW. In fact, no other team can play they way they do that effectively. There are plenty of defensive and rebounding guys that start in the league and if a guy was a all nba defender and could defend multiple spots and was the best rebounder in the league you bet your ass he would be starting today.
Look at the guys on the rebounding leaders list. Jordan, cousins, gasol, towns, Davis, etc... All capable offensive players in their own ways. Hell even Drummond averaged over 15 ppg. You can't live on lay ups from offensive rebounds any more in the NBA.
Heck even the Warriors start an interior defender who doesn't score anymore in Bogut and bring in Ezeli for him off the bench.
He would start for most of the playoff teams last year.
Naming guys that can score and rebound, all star players, does not exclude a guy like Rodman playing today. I can name guys like Ewing, Olajuwan, David Robinson, Shaquile O'neal. Divac, Smits, Mutumbo, Mourning... from the 90's what's your point?
If you are by far the best rebounder and a player capable of being a two time defensive player of the year you will start. He also was a good passer and a very smart player. If a rebounder, defender couldn't be a star in today's league there would be no Joakim Noah getting MVP votes in the league. Think about who was starting for the NBA champions last year, Tristan Thompson and Dennis Rodman was way better than Thompson.
Noone can take away that mans hustle and relentlessness to get the ball at all costs
Lol I can't wait until football season starts. Football season is trolling season round these parts:
Where butthurt flows like wine. Where gullible middle aged men flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talking about a little place called CF during football season.
I think it should be Sexton and/or Wigginton and Allen. But I agree
Since this thread has already jumped the shark, I'll put these guys against your team
Magic Johnson
Reggie Miller
LeBron James
Tim Duncan
Hakeem Olajuwon
anyone else get a bit anxious when they see this thread back on top?
