My ALL TIME favorite player. Every game this guy was in, the basketball was phenomenal. Intelligence, hustle, rebounding, DEFENSE, underrated passer. Hall of Famer, first ballot. They don't make the like The Worm anymore.
Part of the reason people like dennis will not be seen in the nba is because of how he entered the league. He was a late round 2 player, and he was determined to make the league. Most late round picks now end up playing in a foreign country or g league, and they may get a couple looks until they hit 30. Dennis was determined, and it so happened the pistons had a role for his type of hustle and relentlessness for defense and rebounding.
The 2001 Lakers. The 1986 Boston Celtics. Michael Jordan did not win a single playoff game against Larry Bird or Larry's team. And that would remind you that it took a heroic effort by Allen Iverson and dikembe mutombo to even get a single win off of the Lakers. I think even the 1972 Lakers might have beaten them. Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain match up well with pretty much anyone.
He was entertaining but let's not lose fact of this guy was a GREAT basketball player with a HIGH basketball IQ. He did give the Bulls a dominant rebounder and edge on the court. Dennis definitely added something special to the Bulls' second three-peat.
One of the most entertaining players I've ever watched in any sport. Great addition to the Bulls and he bought just what they needed to go on that 2nd 3peat. Great video as always💯
That man is indestructible. Imagine regular partying, more days with hangover than days without it and yet he was running and pushing weights the whole day. Damn intelligent on the field and always gave 100% of what he had. Even tho he sometimes pushed his court attitude too far, i have mad respect for his work ethics!
That guy was the definition of HUSTLE. Dude sacrificed his body for the team. Ultimate teammate. Ultimate pain in the ass opponent.💪🏼👊🏼✊🏼👍🏼🤙🏼 The Worm!!!
Some players have an innate sense of spatial acuity as it relates to the flight path of the ball. Dennis knew, he could feel, from watching the arc of a shot, which way it was going to come off. He had a split second advantage over everyone else, and he used this to put himself in position to get the board. A very special talent.
What's most impressive about the Bulls was how engaged all the players on that team were from top to bottom. Nowadays it's only about the "superstars" and I find the others players really don't care because of that.
You're totally right. Starting at the top, with Jordan, their mentality was that they were going to be the best team in the NBA by training harder than anyone else. Jordan really created that culture on the team, and, truthfully, it was highly abusive, but it won games. They just weren't interested in wasting time with anyone that wasn't going to work hard, not matter how talented they might be.
Dennis's knowledge of the game was off the charts. The greatest defensive player to ever play the game. That Bulls team in my opinion was the greatest basketball team ever assembled.
I have him a lot higher than top 75. He dominated rebounding and defending, not to mention a genuis in mind games and position in basketball. He repeated with two teams not too many people did that..... did anyone?
If you mean back to back, then Robert Horry comes to mind: 2 (back to back) with Houston Rockets ('94 and '95) 2 (3 peat) with Los Angeles Lakers ('00, '01 and '02)
@@MannyMensah94 yep I agree without horace or Rodman that defense wouldn’t have been the way it was and definitely the rebounds Rodman and grant pulled in it defense would’ve been scary if they were both on the team together at the same time
Love Rodman but Jordan and the bulls 3peated with will Purdue, Bill Cartwright and Bill willington So as much fun as it was I think the bulls would have won without a 35,36,37 year old Rodman with any good center just in a different way. Jordan just wasn't going to lose.
I REMEMBER EACH & EVERY GAME, THERE WAS A GAME WHERE MICHAEL PASSED TO RODMAN, HE WAS OPEN FOR A 3 POINTER, MIKE PAASED TO RODMAN & THAT BALL WAS ALL NET- It could’ve been a Jumper, all I remember is how Awesome the Bulls were on their 2nd repeat? Watched the 1st repeat with My Dad🙏🏽☝🏽RIP Dad Love You
When he came to Chicago I was also skeptical, but boy was I ever wrong. He came though in a big way. In fact, I believe he deserved the finals MVP against Seattle. Hard to win when you're not the top scorer ad you have Jordan and Pippen on your team, but he deserved it never the less. Whatever else anyone can say about Rodman, his work ethic on the court was unmatched and he was one rebounding machine.
He is the Fearless king who can guard bigger than him. He doesn't care, all he knows is get in get Hustle and Hustle and hustle. Get mad get freak get crazy 💪💪💪
There will never be another Dennis Rodman and that Bulls team. I'm fortunate to have witnessed it. I remember when the NBA was so fun to watch. Now it's all about players crying, kneeling, etc. NBA sucks today. When 7 footers are required to take 3s.
I got to watch these bulls team play in Seattle and Rodman joining team put them on another level. With his rebounds and defense along with mj and pippens defense made them best team ever. Imo
Dennis felt the respect from his teammates in Chicago. people showed him that he was appreciated and the team trusted him no matter what he does outside of the court. Dennis is a dependable guy on the floor but other teams chose see the rebel in him. MJ was a leader who maybe tough to his teammates yet very respectful of their choices in their lives outside basketball. had he been rough and controlling to Dennis, there'll never be chemistry between them.
I've read all the arguments for and against the GOAT, but without doubt the big three, Jordan, Pippen and Rodman were the the greatest offense and defense in the history of the game. Their last couple of years together when they were fully tuned in to each other made them the most formidable team to have ever played the game. Rodman was the missing piece and whether you love or loath him, he was the ultimate showman on and off the field. There will never be another Dennis Rodman.
You should have shown when Rodman was announced as the pic at the press conference where he debuted his Bulls logo in the back of his hair. That was epic!
My first basketball memories are of watching the Pistons win their rings (my mother is a Detroit native) while growing up in San Antonio. We were of course happy + surprised to see him join the Spurs, and I remember being bummed to see him go to CHI as I had a bit of an idea what that would mean. While I respected the Bulls as any fan should, it took me 25 years to develop any appreciation for them... time heals all wounds 😄😄😄 Thanks for yet another lovely video and for featuring of one of my all time favorites !
The part in the last dance doc, where they get Dennis back from partying and right away he was out running the whole team. To me just shows how special he was physically
The most understated stat for Dennis is the offensive rebounds. Only Moses grabbed o-rebs as frequently as him, and he was the main playmaker under the bucket grabbing a lot of his own misses, unlike Dennis. His contribution on offense is like someone who grabbed 6-7 steals per game near the opponent's hoop.
Hi bro im from the Philippines and i've stumbled upon your channel a few months back and thank you for making good contents. God bless you and more power to your channel
As a Bulls fan, in my book, he's tied with MJ as my favorite player of all time. Just a legendary rebounder. For what it's worth, here's my top 15 favorite Bulls of all-time: 1a. MJ 1b. Dennis 3. Pippen 4. Rose 5. LaVine 6. DeRozan 7. Noah 8. Butler 9. Hinrich 10. Love (never saw him play, but his number is retired and he's a total sweetheart of a guy) 11. Deng 12. Gasol 13. Korver 14. Gordon 15. Crawford
Im not a B-ball fan at all but Ive had your vids come through my feed a couple of times. The specific info you put out caught my attention to make me sit and watch. Thanks for the hook ups
I think that Rodman in Chicago demonstrates the value of respect but also how much success can help mask/avoid other issues. It's pretty clear that Jordan and Pippen didn't really like Rodman and vice versa but they each respected the other enough to value what they did on the court and keep irrelevant personal feelings out of it. The fact that they were winning - both games and championships - made that much easier to do than it it would have been otherwise.
Rodman was the ultimate role player he would get 25 rebounds and not one shot attempt that's y he was so amazing he only had one job and he always knocked it out of the park
Rodman played his role very well. It takes a huge burden for shooters to think that there is a teammate out there that will catch their missed shots and give them another chance.
Dennis was actually my favorite member on the team. He screwed with and got under every other teams best shooter. While very athletic that's not how he beat them. In their mind they were so screwed up by him they played off their game into his and at his game he was going to beat you every time.. While he didn't score often the other team still had to guard him because he could score and if left unguarded he would. His work ethic was unmatched. Some times I think he was just punking us all.
The chemistry on the court with the Spurs did not suffer. Two years prior to Rodman the Spurs were upset by Run TMC in the first round and by the Suns (D Robinson out). In Rodman’s second season in San Antonio the Spurs has the best record in the league. The Spurs were upset in Western Conference Finals by the eventual back to back Champion Houston Rockets with Olajuwon and Drexler.
Loved him as a Bull. .He knew how to get into his opponent's heads. Did it to Karl Malone, in the Utah series. Cost Utah a championship. Phil Jackson and the Bulls embraced Dennis. And, for his size, he was the greatest rebounder EVER!! Just knew where the ball was going to be.
A man of contrasts. Looking for the spotlight - didn't care about scoring. Party animal, but studied every opponent. Unprofessional and professional at the same time. Did everything for the team during matches, risking injury, taking beatings. Was a liability for the team during preparation: would he show up? Would he show up hungover or not? Extreme self sacrifice, and then some really selfish behaviour. The Bulls were the perfect fit. Jordan and Pippen could do the scoring, and force hard shots from opponents in defense = more rebounds to fight for for Rodman.
The bulls were such a big part of 90s culture everytime I watch something about them I feel like I'm 19 years old I never even watched basketball but rodman was always on the news and Jordan was the most famous person on the planet the 3 90s Michael's all iconic historical figures Jordan was the biggest the jackson then tyson
rodman would’ve found a home somewhere. his skills were too great. the issue was his personality and who would allow him to be himself. he found that home in chicago.
"We called up Rodman because he was the very best in the league at what he did. We asked if he wanted work out masochistically, never miss games, and threepeat, because we only care about winning. He said yes." -Michael Jordan, probably When those Bulls beat my Pacers in 98, it was the rebounds that won it for them. The Pacers were playing great defense and their FG% in most games was higher, but the Bulls were getting that many more FGA to overcome their relative inefficiency. Because of the rebounds. Because of Rodman.
What the Bulls did with Rodman was genius. They used him to discombobulate the opponent. To get in their heads and knock them off their game. Even Shaq said Rodman was the only player who was able to bang down low with him at the rim.
There was a short pause when he was signed leading up to his first game where fans were worried about him ruining chemistry, 5 minutes into the first game, we knew it was a perfect match and he was there to play.
jerry krause and phil jackson saw what others failed to recognized dennis' hidden court virtue. .almost everyone else was nega to him. .he became a byword "ridman" except for the pistons then. .no one understand him well except for krause and jackson. . the bulls thought differently. .and the results the bulls gained unprecedented immortality and rodman, unquestionably, contributed so much to it. .he was not only professional but unparrelled as basketball mercenary. .
If you were lucky to grow up watching him you may have hated his on court antics but you never turned the channel when he was on, but then again your parents like mine may not have had a TV with a remote. Loved the guy, and I'm no fan of basketball.
loved rodman's play. he knew exactly what his job was - get the ball to mike - and he was the best at it.
My ALL TIME favorite player. Every game this guy was in, the basketball was phenomenal. Intelligence, hustle, rebounding, DEFENSE, underrated passer. Hall of Famer, first ballot. They don't make the like The Worm anymore.

Part of the reason people like dennis will not be seen in the nba is because of how he entered the league. He was a late round 2 player, and he was determined to make the league.

The Bulls were, and they were the only team that mattered.
Why is it so important? You had the chance 2 be a great player yourself but you chose cream pies.
Shame on them!
Yeah after averaging about 18 rebounds a game for a couple years with the Spurs. How stupid does everyone look now?
That's because no other coaches in the NBA has the balls that Phil Jackson has basically really no other reason fr.

If you were lucky to grow up watching him you may have hated his on court antics but you never turned the channel when he was on, but then again your parents like mine may not have had a TV with a remote. Loved the guy, and I'm no fan of basketball.
Without DR we wouldn't of got all those championships.
I lovem
I love it when the show isn't about Jordan
It's all about the Chicago Bulls one way or another. It's about Jordan even when he uses another player on that team.
Greatest team of all time no dout
Sean you should do a video on Jim Durham…best play by play announcer ever…red Kerr was good too
