But the answer that came back was so resounding, so affirmative that the winner probably deserves a more grandiose title: the NBA's anti-hero.
Of course, you already knew that about Dennis Rodman.
The Chicago Bulls forward received 23 percent of the votes in an ESPNET SportsZone audio-enhanced poll released Thursday-- nearly twice that of any other nominee. Fans clearly kept the (sometimes) blond bombshell and rebounder extraordinaire in mind, even though NBA coaches left him off the All-Star Game roster.
The poll generated a total of 18,538 votes.
The final results:
Dennis Rodman, Chicago Bulls
Gary Payton, Seattle SuperSonics
Terrell Brandon, Cleveland Cavaliers
Dino Radja, Boston Celtics
Loy Vaught, Los Angeles Clippers
Rod Strickland, Portland Trail Blazers
Tom Gugliotta, Minnesota Timberwolves
Mookie Blaylock, Atlanta Hawks
Derek Harper, New York Knicks
Cliff Robinson, Portland Trail Blazers
