Sure. Tayshaun Prince, Lamar Odom, Shawn Marion, Chris Bosh, Rajon Rondo.

Rondo and Bosh are not glue guys. Ill give you Tayshaun, and Marion, Odom sure I guess.

Defensively, Bosh is a glue guy. Rondo wasn't a superstar in 2008 so he should be included as well.

Bosh was a 20 ppt scorer in Toronto, he's not a pro typical glue guy, I know Rondo wasn't a superstar in 08 but I just don't look at him as a glue guy on that 08 team I view James Posey, PJ Brown, Cassell as glue guys.

Phil Jackson

Dick Barnett

A lot of these guys look like 6th men to me and not glue guys. Glue guys are jacks-of-all-trades that do the little things to help teams win.

Cedric "cornbread " Maxwell Celtics
Bobby Jones 76ers

 

[Gurleyman]

Scott Burrell. Can't imagine where the Bulls would have been without him.

Mario Elie from those Rocket teams that won twice.

Can't believe I forgot - Avery Johnson.

#1 is Dennis Rodman and I'd throw in Paul Silas

Re: Rodman - not sure the greatest pound for pound rebounder ever is a "glue guy."

I'd go with Rambis.

 

[J-dog]

While Rodman was a GREAT rebounder, he was also a shut down defender, a guy who would dive all over the floor, a guy who would get in the head of his opponents & basically a guy who loved doing the dirty work… That's a glue guy.

Cliff Levingston on the early 90's Bulls teams

Loved Paul Silas, I wore number "35" because of him . Thank you Danzz!!!

After the series he just had why isn't anyone showing Boris some love? I know there's not much flash to him and he's French but honestly, you watched the series, you saw his impact.

My problem with calling Dennis Rodman a glue guy is that the first thing I think of as for what a glue guy should be is calming factor; someone to hold the team together and focus on a goal. As good as he was at being the dirty work guy I never saw him as a leader. I think there has to be some leadership to a glue guy. You are right about everything you said. Glue guy or not you want him out there for you.

 

[Husky25]

Posey, Eddie House, and Brian Scalabrine were the glue guys on the 07-08 Celtics.

Can't deny Kurt Rambus on the 80's Lakers' teams.

 

[CallMeBruce]

Dennis Rodman is a Hall of Famer and probably a top-10 power forward all-time. He was one of the biggest stars on those Bulls teams. He wasn't a glue guy just because he didn't score many points.

Cliff Levingston on the early 90's Bulls teams

Yes!!! I forgot about Cliff Levingston.
