I think the best defensive player in NBA history is Michael Jordan.
He was complete player. I liked his defense rather than his offense. Please tell me your opinion!

Bill Russell
Russell is remembered for his role in the Boston Celtics dynasty that won 11 championships in the 13 seasons that he played. His major contribution to the sport was raising defensive play to a new level; he is commonly considered the greatest defensive center to ever play the game.
He was possibly the first to effect the outcomes of games solely on the defensive end. His rebounding was second only to Wilt Chamberlain, and he had a dozen consecutive seasons of 1,000 or more rebounds. Blocks weren't recorded as an official stat until 73-74, but he could swat with the best of 'em and he more gave Wilt a run for his money at only 6' 9" & 235.
I'd rate MJ a strong second....

Sir Charles.. He will not only block your shot sending the ball flying 20-30 feet to the crowd, he will give you this stare as if he just found you sleeping with his wife.. And you would wanna say,"Pls dont hurt me Sir,I wont do it again.."
He is so mean defensively that you would think you are a naked princess dribbling in front of a naked rapist.. He is a nasty defender who wants to make you like to think of playing football instead.. And like a divirginized chick,he will make sure you remember him..
Although he never won a championship, he put fear into the hearts of many players in the NBA...

lol at the guy that said Mark freakin Eaton.
It's Bill Russell. A poster before me explained it perfectly. Jordan is a good vote too, but I gotta give the edge to Russell.
Hakeem Olajuwon wasn't too shabby either.

Bill Russell.
Jordan was a very good defender but I thought Scottie Pippen was the best defender for the Bulls.

I'm going to go with Oscar Robertson. He was a great shot blocker, but they didn't keep that stat until his final year. Oh yeah, that year he blocked 4 per game and still averaged 1 steal.

I'd go with Wilt - a 300 lbs. solid mass of muscle who can block dunks and grabs a whole buncha rebounds. Bill Russell is second.

I think that Dinis Rodman was really good. I miss watching him play back when Jordan and him were on the bulls back in 97' damn those were good days...
