Rodman, for the lone reason that he has the high ground...
...and if we have learned anything from the Star Wars prequels, it's that the high ground guarantees victory in any kind of battle.

Rodman, no matter what we're talking about pretty much!

Artest is a much better offensive player than Rodman.

Rodman was underrated offensively. Great passer. And believe it or not shot over 50 percent for his career. Granted, he almost never shot the ball, but still. I got the feeling if he cared he could have scored more.

I'd take Rodman as a player and Artest in fight. I think Artest is different kind of crazy that you don't fuck with.

Well, shots you don't take don't really count. It's good not to be wasting attempts with missed shots, yes, but it doesn't make you a good offensive player. And I'd say "not caring enough to score more" isn't exactly a trait you want in an NBA player ;-)

I think Rodman acted crazy, I think Artest really is crazy.

Maul did not take advantage of his situation and was too busy show boating it while Obi Wan formulated a plan to get back in the game and take Maul out.

Rodman on the right team is a huge asset. Best rebounder in the game, set ferocious (ie usually illegal) picks and gave you great D on the other team's 4. In today's game he might have trouble against a stretch 4 who pulled him away from the basket, and would be a liability in a high screen and roll, which is most of today's offense. Artest gives you great D and the occasional 3, but he's lost his hops and a lot of his quickness. On the whole, I'd rather have Rodman.

Rodman for sure. What he brought is harder to come by than Artest.

Here is the difference Rodman would get an opponent so aggravated they would do something stupid and get ejected.
Artest copied him, only got confused he gets so aggravated he does something stupid and gets ejected.
