## Resource

Bleacher Report released its ranking of the NBA’s 99 best defenders of all time, and six Detroit Pistons legends made the list. In this episode, Anthony breaks down the rankings for Ben Wallace, Dennis Rodman, Joe Dumars, Tayshaun Prince, Rasheed Wallace and Bill Laimbeer. He discusses which placements Bleacher Report got right, which Pistons may have been ranked too high or too low, and why Detroit’s defensive history continues to stand out across multiple eras. Ben Wallace earned a top-five spot, Dennis Rodman landed inside the top 10, and several members of the Bad Boys and 2004 championship teams were also recognized. Did Bleacher Report properly rank the greatest defenders in Pistons history? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
