Question

How can they justify putting Reggie Miller in the HoF and not Rodman? Doesn't Rodman's career dwarf Reggie's?

Answer 1

They're both HOFers in my eyes.  One was just weirder than the other is all.

Answer 2

Rodman was a role player. He was a GREAT role player. He was maybe the greatest role player in NBA history, but a role player nonetheless. Reggie Miller was the Pacers face and leader for at least fifteen years. He's also arguably the greatest NBA three point shooter in history, and one of the top five clutchest players ever.

Answer 3

Cause Rodman isn't eligible yet!

Rodman retired from playing pros in 2006.

Answer 4

Reggie Miller benefits from good publicity. Dennis Rodman suffers from bad publicity. Reggie's reputation is based strictly on his shooting ability yet he never led the league in scoring. He was among the top 10 scorers only once in his entire career. Back in 89-90 he finished at the #8 spot. Reggie never made 1st Team All NBA. Reggie never made 2nd Team All NBA. Reggie was never Top 20 in assists or rebounds. Reggie was not a defender. Reggie was a one dimensional player. Even though scoring was his strong suit there were lots of guys during his era who were much better scorers. Rodman had much greater career achievements Reggie Miller:

* 5 time NBA Champion.

* All-NBA Third Team (1992, 1995

* NBA All-Star Team (1990, 1992)

* NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award (1990, 1991)

* NBA All-Defensive First Team (1989-93, 1995, 1996)

* NBA All-Defensive Second Team (1994)

* NBA Top Rebounds Per Game (1992-98)

* NBA Top Rebound Rate (1991-98)

* NBA Top Total Rebounds (1992-94, 1998)

* NBA Top Offensive Rebounds (1991-94, 1996, 1997)

* NBA Top Defensive Rebounds (1992, 1994, 1998)

* NBA Top Field Goal Percentage (1989)

Answer 5

Both of them are hall of famers. Reggie is the greatest shooter of all time. And dennis rodman is the rebounding king.. I'm not sayin that's why they are hall of famers in my eyes.. But just look at what they have done...

Answer 6

No because Miller was one of the NBA's greatest shooters and scorers to ever play the game, while Rodman was horrible on the offensive end, only getting rebounds and defending.
