indispensable part of a championship squad, so at least top 15. i kinda regard all of the starting 5 in 04 as pretty relative to each other

Borderline top 10. You got IT, Laimbeer, Wallace, Dumars, Billups, Grant Hill, Rip, Bing, Lanier all soundly ahead of him, then I guess you can figure who’s next of Rodman, Prince, Sheed, Mahorn. It’s a shame we don’t have more legendary players but it’s also impressive that we have as many championships we do with those squads.

The block is one of the biggest plays in franchise history and his impact on that season was huge. BUT he became massively overrated by this fan base….and I understand why, but he was never close to an All-Star type player or defensive lockdown guy. Once players got used to shooting over his length, he honestly wasn’t that great.
If he played in this era of social media, he would’ve been killed with how many times he disappeared in important games year after year. I mean just look at his post season numbers….they aren’t very good.

Looking by era
Lanier Bing Mahorn
Isiah Dumars Lambeer Rodman
Grant
Billups Rip Ben Sheed
So like 13th here easily. Mostly due to the block

Forever an honorable mention, primarily for his defense on Kobe and the original “The Block”

Out of the three championships, we don’t win one without him, so pretty high.
