at 5:52 PM, Sunday August 14, 2011 EDT Scottie is a good guy. I met him at a river boat casino back in '97 in Elgin, IL. It was one of two places you could gamble back then in IL.
He was with one of his entourage members as I recall. |

at 10:44 AM, Monday August 15, 2011 EDT As a pure rebounder I'll definitely go with Rodman. Don't get me wrong, Wilt was great, but his stats are inflated for two major reasons.
One: He was pretty much alone as a dominant big man other than Bill Russell. It was pretty easy to score and rebound over much smaller guys, or big men with no athleticism. He and Russell were ahead of their time for big men....only Chamberlain was better. Two: They didn't play defense back then. You can look back at statistics from the day and see how fast paced the action was then compared to the mid/late 90's (when it got about as slow and defensive as it's ever been). For instance, the lowest scoring team in the NBA in 1961 (the year Wilt averaged 50.4 PPG) was the Chicago Packers. They AVERAGED 110.9 PPG. They attempted 8,405 field goals for an average of 105.0 attempts per game. Compare that to the highest scoring team from Jordan's last championship season and you have the Lakers averaging 105.5 PPG with that team averaging 79.7 field goal attempts per game. So the lowest scoring team from Wilt's era averaged 25.3 more shots per game than the highest scoring team from Rodman's era. This disparity alone is enough to tell me that a much shorter Rodman, with a more athletic and taller NBA, was a better rebounder that Wilt could have ever hoped to be. |
