Answer: Hakeem Olajuwon

Answer: Dennis Rodman

Fittingly Dennis Rodman was nicknamed "Dennis the Menace" as he was an extremely scrappy defensive player and rebound expert. Although he was a limited offensive player he did lead the league in field goal percentage in 1988-89 and in 1987-88 he averaged 11.6 points per game.

During his career Scottie Pippen won six NBA championships and was voted to the NBA All-Defensive First Team seven times. Pippen was by no means a one-dimensional player as he compiled over 18,000 points and 6,000 assists in his career.

In addition to his NBA success, Mutombo has gained recognition for his humanitarian work through his namesake foundation that works to improve living conditions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and other poverty-stricken areas.

Answer: DeAndre Jordan

Jordan's rebounding skills and ability to obtain good post position helped him lead the league in field goal percentage for four straight seasons including two seasons shooting at better than 70%. While his play on the court garnered headlines, Jordan is also well-known for a contract dispute before the 2015-16 season in which he had verbally agreed to sign with the Dallas Mavericks before he backed out and resigned with the Los Angeles Clippers.
