Very true.  And Rodman wouldn't get all those rebounds against Birdie.  
If you think about it, these guys feast off of a league full of players 
with half the talent of the 80's teams.  Pippen's considered a defensive 
force, but has he ever had to contend with a player who could take him 
out for three as well as post him up and throw bounce passes through his 
legs.  Rodman gets a lot of rebounds because today's player boxes out 
half the time, if they're lucky.  He also wouldn't get away with as much 
of the illegal grabbing and pushing because, if the refs didn't call it, 
Bird would flatten him.
