Big Ben Wallace compared with Dennis "The Worm" Rodman

Wallace: height 6'9 (around 205-207CM) weight: 240 pounds around 109KGs
Rodman: height 6'8 (around 202-203CM) weight: 243 pounds barely 110Kgs
both have been known for working out, making their money in the weight room. True hard workers, people who do everything possible to become the best they can. Wallace more predominantly for being strong through the upper body and Rodman for those crazy legs and insane core strength both have the dirty work capabilities rebounding and hustling.

lets compare their teams,
Wallace:

1. WIZ/Bullets (1996–1999)
2. Magic(1999–2000)
3. Pistons(2000–2006)
4. Bulls (2006–2008)
5. Cavs (2008-2009)
6. SUNS (2009)

Rodman:

1. Pistons (1986-1993)
2. Spurs (1993-1995)
3. Bulls (1995-1996)
4. Lakers (1999)
5. Mavs (200)

its obvious they are both regularly moved. However they both had great stints at the pistons.

they both had/have great careers!
in comparison, Rodman grabs 2.8 rebounds a game than Wallace he also has 1.1 more points per game and 1.5 more O boards boards a game and .5 more assists however he also averages .58 more TOs a game. but the big one is in blocking and steals in blocking wallace gets 2.3 a game too Rodman's 0.5 meaning 1.8 difference and he also has 1.3 steals a game which means he has 0.6 more steals per game than Rodman .

Awards,
Wallace:

6-time All NBA Defensive Team

• 7x NBA 1st defensive team Selection

in my research i found:
Rodman= more successful in championship sense as well as smashing Wallace in boards!
Wallace= better defender on ball, better single defense player however does less on offense
its a draw! so i'd put it down to succes therefore Rodman wins only because he has 5 champ rings.

just random thing about teams i thought about

i was in a forum reading about the top ten roles for a team to have so i decided to have a look, form ideas and as always post:

History has shown that specific types of players are more important than others. If you're fuzzy on the concept, think of the emphasis on size. It's a rudimentary example, but I hope my list makes things more clear. Here are my top 10 roles:

1.) Back to the basket big man with post moves and post passing abilities.

Put simply, he's the king of the court. He puts the game at the pace ideal to his team, he opens up the floor, he scores, and he creates for others. Think Tim Duncan and Shaq and history takes us back to wilt in my eyes the greatest.

2.) Playmaking Swingmen.

They create for themselves, teammates, and take over games. They are also much, much, much easier to find than 1) on the list, and they don't have the advantage of height. Kobe, Wade, and LeBron are the examples from our decade.

3.) Versatile Power Forwards

They shoot, play facing the basket, have a few low post moves, and can pass. Noticing a trend here? Unfortuantely, they don't have the sheer game changing ability of 1.) Dirk and Garnett fall here.

4.) Playmaking Point Guards.
I think their impact is really, really overstated. Perhaps they've been blocked by great players at 1) and 2), or perhaps I'm right like usual. I think they need to be extremely special, one in a life time special like Magic, to be a singlehanded force. Nash, DWill, and CP3 are obvious, but Parker and Billups shouldn't be overlooked.


5.) Defensive/Rebounding Bigman
It's preferable for these players to be part of 1.) or 6.), but that's rarely the case. Good defensive teams win championships, and it doesn't matter how good your perimeter defense is if your bigs can't pull down the ball.

6.) Scoring Bigman
Mostly gets his points in Pick and Roll and Pick and Pop. Usually can't create for others besides floor spacing and demanding double teams. Amare and Al Jefferson.

7.) Scoring Wing
They really shouldn't have the ball in their hands too much, because they can't, don't, or aren't asked to create for other players. Richard Jefferson comes to mind.

8.) Scoring Point Guard
Limited in effectiveness because a playmaking swingman is necessary. They're usually thrown there because of height. Still, they create pressure the second they are past the half-court line.

9.) Defense + 3 point shooting Wing
Locks down the opposing teams best player, and creates the ever important floor spacing. Battier, Bowen, and Posey.

10.) defending PG with speed and ball handling
these guys are very important and they are even more imporant if you don't have a number 4.) these sort of players.
also my favorite pairings for teams like duos or trios
my favorite and may look familar
2), 5) and i consider pippin a 6)/4)/9 Bulls?
or just a 1) or a 3) and a 4) Stockton and Malone?
i also like
5) and 3) with a nice 8) or 10)
anyways thats my say.

i am back
