The Worm or The Artist

Which bad boy would you rather have?? Rodman or Artest??

Come on, Ron is like an imitator of Rodman, he was the first one and nobody is bigger than him playing, check out his stats

Hmmm both are great defenders. Rodman is known for his rebounding while Artest is an offensive threat. If I have a team with a lot of scorers, I'd pick Rodman, he's very unselfish with the ball.

But I would take Artest, he can shoot from anywhere and that makes it hard for the other team to defend.

Everyone wants to play w/ these guys. Other teams hate them. I guess I would take the Worm, b/c he's got suffocating defense, he can rebound, piss off the other team, he can score some, and he doesn't have a temper to the extent Artest does, where he says he throws his medication in the garbage.

I might take artest in this one. He can lockup and at the same time give you 20. Rodman could score a little but theres no way you would run your offense through him.

There's no way you run the offense thru Artest, either.

Well you could if you HAD to. Rodman would be the last choice off of the team. Even when the offense isn't ran through artest he can still give you at least 15.

I agree. I think the Worm never had offensive numbers, b/c if you look at his teammates, he had others who scored. W/ the Pistons, he had Dumars, w/ the Spurs, he had the admiral, and w/ the Bulls he had Jordan and Pippen.

I'll have to give this one to Ron Artest because his offensive game kills Dennis Rodman's, but I'm not counting the Worm out because he was one of the best rebounders in NBA history & he had that stifling defense that could wreck a lot of offensive player's scoring. I'm not a big fan of how Dennis takes care of himself outside the basketball courts, but if he had a somewhat decent offensive game, I'd give this comparison to him. Ron Artest has a decent shot from almost anywhere on the floor & his on-ball defense's tight as hell. He can lock down guys like Ray Allen on given nights. Unfortunately, his unpredictable temper & off court issues have held him back a lil bit, so hopefully his new home in Sacramento will somehow get rid of his bad reputation he had in Indiana.
