Dennis Rodman and Chris Mullin lead the NBA Hall of Fame Class 2011. Our question is who had the better NBA career?

The argument for Dennis Rodman:

Rodman is by far the most flamboyant and controversial basketball player of all-time. His crazy hair, tattoos (before EVERYONE had a tattoo) and off the court lifestyle sometimes over shadowed his tremendous heart and ability. He is a five-time NBA champion (2x with Detroit Pistons, 3x with Chicago Bulls), seven-time first team all-defense, seven-time rebounding champion. As a rebound and defensive specialist, there hasn’t been one better in the NBA.

The argument for Chris Mullin:

Mullin, unlike Rodman, never enjoyed a championship victory. His college career and NBA resume as a scorer is impressive. He became the only Golden State Warrior (not named Wilt Chamberlain) to average 25 points or more in 5 consecutive seasons. He was a member of the 1984 and 1992 Olympic Gold-Medal teams and a 5 time all-star. Mullin’s talent was overshadowed by the Michael Jordan era and the fact that his Golden State Warriors teams didn’t have enough talent to compete.

RideThePine.com pick: Dennis Rodman

In most scenarios, I would pick an all-around player against a specialist 9/10 times. Well this is that ONE time. Dennis Rodman was so great in his position and maybe he wasn’t the main reason his teams won championship but he played a HUGE part.
