but Dennis was a FAR superior player.

Artest is better. Dennis was a far better defensive player sure, but Artest is light years better on offense, making him better overall. I'd take the better all around player any day, and artest is no slouch on D. I mean, Dennis couldn't even hit free throws. Put that in perspective, we all cringe at Shaq taking free throws, well, shaq hits em at a 53% clip, Rodman, only 58%. Ouch. Rodman was a beast down low though, gotta give him credit for that. And of course he started the EXPLOSION of tattoos in the NBA. He's a trailblazer. haha.
