    the answer is in the question you said it yourself Rodman took defense on jordan, malone, shaq, barkley, magic, bird

    lebron??? i dont remember any? he never guarded kobe and durant often. He's just guard them when there's a switch players

    michael jordan called rodman the best perimeter defender of all time he shut down mj early on in the bulls pistions series, every person he guarded in a playoff series he shut down from time to time along with that he was also the best rebounder of all time he is the only player in nba history to win the rebounding title 7 years in a row, don't ge me wrong lebron is alot better scorer, passer etc but i give the edge to rodman on everything defense

    Lebron and defense don't go together. Rodman easy. Rodman won a defensive award I think. He would always get in the head of the player he was guarding.
