Who was the better overall role player throughout their careers: Dennis Rodman or Robert Horry?

Question

I don't see why you even mention rings if you said Dennis Rodman...

Answer 1

Easy, Rodman.

Horry is a good role player and shooter, but

Rodman was a 5x NBA champion.

2x NBA denfensive player of the year 1990,1991.

All NBA third team 1992, 1995.

2x all star 1990. 1992.

NBA All denfensive first team 1989-93,1995,1996.

NBA leader in rebounds 1992-98. 7 seasons in a row.

One of the few players who could change a game with defensive, energy and rebounding alone.

Doug Collins thinks he's good and so do i.

Answer 2

Dennis Rodman LED the Bulls to 70+ wins in 1996, rebounding all of Jordan's bricks.

Rodman was the better player overall.

Answer 3

Dennis Rodman

Numbs up for me  

Answer 4

Horry can shoot; I vote him...

Answer 5

Dennis. I'd rather have a roleplayer who is a dependable rebounder and defender for 4 quarters, rather than an inconsistent scorer whose main selling point is his game winning treys. I'll just make sure to drop 4+ points on the opposing team and deny them of possession (rebounding) and prevent them from scoring during the clutch (defense).

Answer 6

Definitely Rodman. He was a major contributor to all his teams. Unlike Horry, who really couldn't do much besides hit some 3's.

Answer 7

Rodman no contest.While Horry is a decent player he's rode the bench to half of his rings.

Answer 8

Rodman...Led the league in Rebounding basically every year, 7 time all defensive first team, back to back DPOY awards...2 rings with pistons, 3 with bulls...doing all the dirty work

Answer 9

Rodman ofcourse but Big SHot Rob had some huge game winning shots loved them as a laker fan

Answer 10

Answer 11

Rodman no doubt.

Answer 12

rebounding is oh so very important and dennis rodman was the best rebounder i've ever seen

Answer 13

robert horry had alot of big shots for the lakers

and denise was really good for the bulls

but in the end roberts a free loader

and denise is just a freak

Answer 14

I would have to say Robery Horry if we're talking throughout their whole career. Horry has always been pretty consistent in making big shots for the Rockets, Suns, Lakers, and Spurs. Earlier in his career he was more than just a shooter too, he was quite the high flyer. Even though nowadays Horry is pretty much a chucker, he's still doing more for his team than Rodman did for his teams in his last few years. Rodaman didn't do much other than strictly rebounding his last 4 or 5 years in the league. Again, this is if we're talking their WHOLE career, Horry has been better.

Answer 15

If not for Rodman's off and on court issues, I would choose him. But he retired in a sour note. Horry is still "The Big Shot Bob" he is. I like Rodman's role but overall, Horry is a better role player throughout his career.
