Rodman was player who didn't care about Shaq size and strength. His mental and looking for challenge were absolutely on enormous level. Rodman was one of the best defenders ever for me.
Rodman also gave Shaq a reality Check, he was the only one Strong enough apart from Big Ben who could stop him dead in his tracks, especially back to the basket. Big Ben must've unlocked a trauma in Shaq or something during 2004, he started throwing elbows at Ben if he couldn't get his desired position.

Rodman was one of very few players who gave Shaq problems. That in itself allows one to understand what Rodman was about. All heart. All hustle. My favorite at the 4.

@@RichardByrd-rn7nr I find it pathetic that AI fans think a 21-year old shaking a 34-year old is some big accomplishment. Iverson could shake most of the players in the league back in those days.

Dennis learned from the best on how to play hard, physical, and dirty. Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn toughened Rodman up on how to play the game, but the rebounding was all Dennis. During Pistons warm-ups before tip off, everyone would be shooting around except Dennis. He was just watching the ball come out of hands and counting the rotations as it spun in mid air before hitting the rim and watching the delivery of the shooters follow thru to see where that rebound was going. As much as I disliked him as a die hard Celtics fan I gotta say that the man was a crazy genius.
All credit to God and Chuck Daly, Chuck made, mentored Dennis like he was his Dad, when Dennis left the Bad Boys and Chuck Daly he started w the tattoos, piercings and wild colored hair. Dennis talents were amazing there are very very few players in history that could play the game the way he did, it was part of his game to frustrate and agitate other players straight out of there game, he even got in Jordan’s head and that’s another very small number !

Your opinion is absolutely spot on about today's NBA. In the 90s through mid 00s, it was my favorite sport to watch other than the NFL. Not only because I was a huge Bulls fan but because it was fun to watch. Now I think it's too predictable and disappointing. Rodman was one of the hardest working players and dedicated no matter what he did behind the scenes. If any player played like that today, the NBA would ban him indefinitely from ever playing again. Adam Silver ruined it.
Funny you mentioned the NFL. You got Rodman out there playing football with backboard brick Shaq, tackling each other. In today’s NBA, both of them would come off the bench!
@@yo3rdtier128 Keep dreaming. Shaq would be unstoppable and break everything inside the paint that got in his way. It would be a guaranteed power dunk every time he got the ball in the paint. Dudes would be fouling out left and right trying to stop him because fouling is the only way they could! And knowing how soft today's game is where everything is a foul he'd be even more unstoppable than he was back then. Not to mention most of the "bigs" now are skinny and weak stretch 4s and stretch 5s. Shaq is basically a 7 foot 300 lb Lebron James. That type of power and ferocity. Dude broke multiple backboards. From a sheer power and physicality point of view there hasn't been a single guy like Shaq before or since. There's been taller guys, but not more powerful. Go watch what he did to Duncan and Robinson in the playoffs. Some of the best defensive big men to play the game and he ate their lunch and went through them like nothing. Shaq is probably the most unstoppable player to ever play the game, even more than MJ, Kobe or Lebron or any big you can name. Because he was always the biggest and the strongest guy and by a wide margin. That type of physical domination translates to any era.
@@avikellerman4539 It's true that Shaq was that dominant. I think you'd have to go further back instead of forward to find people of a different era that could go toe to toe with him in todays rules. For instance if you had guys like from the 60's Wilt Chamberlain, and Bill Russell, and then the 70's, Kareem and Julius Erving. That would be something to see... those guys could hang with Shaq. I think the only other guy who had Shaq's incredible gift of a physic was Wilt, and though Shaq was slightly bigger maybe in his prime, Wilt was by far faster, and more overall athletic... Wilt was amazingly fast on the court. And the dude has the highest points in an NBA game I cant' believe anyone will ever beat.... Shaq though is one of my favorite players of all time, on and off the court, but he also had a gift that made it so he didn't have to do what some other players had to do to be great. Guys like Julius Erving, Bill Russell, etc, guys who were like watching true geniuses play the game... and that's also where Rodman was in his own way. Shaq had everything that Rodman didn't. Shaq had a stable home, had bigger physique, was considered good looking, while Rodman suffered his entire life thinking he was trash because of what he went through growing up. So there is no doubt in today's rules Shaq would have played better against Rodman because there was no room, no space to get a little dirty like there was when Rodman and Shaq had their battles. But for the game as it was, when they played, that grey area was what allowed a man who would otherwise be physically dominated by a physically gifted athlete like Shaq, have a chance to sometimes honestly, make magic from nothing. He was one of the most ingenious at finding that line, and somehow being able to cross it without being called. Some of the ways he could look like he was honestly just focused on the ball, meanwhile his legs were doing things that no one saw because everyone was focused on the play above the shoulders, meanwhile Rodman was playing the game with his feet, perfectly placing his feet so that when Shaq got the ball and tried to move he was going to be falling over Rodman's leg, and if you didn't know Rodman was Rodman, no other player would have been called for it, because it could have just been an honest place to stand, but because you knew Rodman's game, you knew it wasn't an accident. And that takes a different kind of intelligence, and most of all, it takes a different kind of will. Anyone with Shaq's gifts physically is gonna be a star out there as long as they put in the hours... but Rodman, while not short, was no 7ft monster, and didn't even start to play basketball until he had a growth spurt after graduating highschool, and was working as a Janitor... To go from having the hell of a life he had as a kid, drug addict parents, being basically raised by another family who took him in, to being a Janitor after graduating, his life was basically ending where everyone expected his life to end up as, but to then playing on multiple championship teams in the NBA, it's amazing. The sheer will and force of finding a way to get those rebounds night after night, he really did succeed in a way no one thought he would... he know he could not catch up to others in other parts of the game, but he could be intelligent in ways that allowed him to neutralize their game... and he did it absolutely brilliantly night after night. Sadly though, Rodman wasn't ever taught how to manage his money, coming from where he did growing up, and he really doesn't have much from what I know of his situation... Where Shaq is incredible wealthy... and deservedly so on Shaq's side, Shaq was brilliant in regards to how he built his fortune on top of his pay, etc. Not only that but Shaq gives a lot to charities, etc, so nothing but respect for Shaq on and off the court... just wish Rodman had managed to save more of his good fortune. Must be harder to have had all that and to have lost almost all of it... because Rodman for his entire life felt no one had any reason to love him, i think he believed unless he spent the money no one would care about him, so he was generous to the point of leaving almost nothing for himself at the end.. and I find that kind of a sad ending to his career...
Rodman, a true legacy of the Bad Boys Pistons. Even after he left Detroit he still pulled those dirty tricks on opposing players which drove them nuts.
I know this clip was supposed to be about Rodman, but watching those replays just reminded me of how good Shaq was. Continually double and triple teamed, getting hacked to buggery, and the guy was still unstoppable. Everyone talks about the power but the guy had incredible instincts and a great basketball mind as well as solid post and a deft touch around the rim. One of the all time greats.
should see the videos of rodman and the rest of the pistons playing "jordan rules" on michael jordan... violating him for the first 3 seasons until jordan learned how to cope
Yeah he was amazing for sure. He was far more than just a big body. It's true that he did suck at free throws but people kind of used that as an excuse to put down his shooting. But he was a decent threat from mid range as well.
Sorry guys, O’Neal was a bully that only did well because of his size. He DID NOT have any touch, especially a deft one, and intellectually not much was going on. Today, now that he’s a bit older, he understands the game, but back then he did less with more than anyone else I can think of.
a black man with emotional intelligence is pyscho, huh. guess we better keep an eye on that tim duncan. Understand sir...... Tauruses move different. Rodman been thru way worse than a physical basketball game
I'm a lifelong diehard bulls fan since 1983 & I'm forever grateful for the memories & his relentless defense against the big Aristotle would drive him crazy.
I witnessed the best team in NBA HISTORY become champions. I was at game 6 of the1996 NBA finals. It was Jordan's first championship since his dad was murdered and the game was on Father's Day!
Typical thug basketball, too bad the refs kissed Jordan's backside so much. I would love to see the Bulls play if the refs did not give them such a huge advantage, this was the beginning of Basketball being sports entertainment and not a legit sport anymore.
Watching the playoffs right now. The kids today have no idea what they’re missing out on. Nothing but jump shooting and flopping. Any time there’s contact the player is on the ground wincing in agony. No toughness or grit. Game is so soft.
omg thank you.. so rare to see these comments, everyone so hyped this playoffs cause finally few big men jokic, embiid showed oldschool basketball posting etc, even if this is best playoffs in last 10 15 years, it still cant be in same league as 80s 90s early 00s nba... in past it was so physical, so much hustle and defending was at peak, now its all about run, dribble once or non and shoot shoot shoot, got random rebound? shoot again... its so annoying for oldschool basketball fans, especially since im from europe and even today its way more physical and defensive
I have to say it's hard not to like everyone in your videos just because you put that awesome classic baseline dunk from John Stark's in your intros ... It's players like John Starks and Charles Oakley from my favorite Knicks teams growing up that make me realize how great that era was.
The fact that Rodman didn't practice much and showed up minutes before games, proves how great and legendary a player he was. Everyone else, practicing and disciplined... Yet they were no where as productive as Dennis in the paint! Most underrated player ever in the NBA, Dennis Rodman!!!
That was his personality type. I remember him saying he likes hanging out with rockstars more than pro athletes. Rodman was the rockstar of basketball.
the things one read here: 'he fact that Rodman didn't practice much' => where do you get that idea from? He was a maniac in the way how he practiced. He worked hard, but also played hard.
The thing about him not liking Dennis Rodman doesn't really make me like Shaq anymore. Shaq obviously he's one of the greatest centers of all time. But can Shaq honestly sit there and say he was the best teammate and that people didn't despise him in the locker room? All that crap and drama he had with Kobe because he saw a young and upcoming Superstar and he threw a massive tantrum about it. Which then turned the locker room into a complete toxic cesspool. Rodman showed up even at the tail end of his career gave them 10 to 20 rebounds and helped shut down some of the better players and was still a force of nature. I dont want to hear that crap from Shaquille O'Neal.
Ya that team should’ve won more championships but didn’t due to egos. Hell in a few year span they had Rodman, Payton and Karl Malone go through there. Not to mention Shaq left because he couldn’t handle Kobe becoming the #1 player
Jealous because Dennis was a rock star and taking attention away from him. Rodman said he hated playing on that team because of how childish and petty (mostly Shaq) they were.
I’d definitely say Shaq was jealous of him as he mentioned himself. He was allowed to do as he pleased but still came with results that exceeded most players in the league. They couldn’t stand how he could make things happen his way compared to what others needed to do to make it happen.
@@damo9961 I don't think it was narcissism, Rodman is just a very odd character and the stuff that works for most people to get them in the right frame of mind / prepared for a game didn't work for him. The Bulls understood that, the Lakers didn't. And I'm not criticising the Lakers here, if what he was doing had negative implications for the rest of the team he just wasn't a good fit. What makes him even more odd is the dichotomy in that he was a complete loner (as far as his teammates went anyway) yet the ultimate team player on the court.
Rodman got into everyone's head and made you think he was just goofing around and not paying attention when, in reality, he was laser focused and knew exactly what he was doing. I used to think he was a joke when I was a kid while watching him in the 90s, but the more I watched him, and the more I've learned about his history, I've learned that Rodman was a very serious player who worked hard and played hard. It still blows my mind how Rodman was so strong and such an intense athlete, but still pretty cool headed and would literally hug and kills players and carry them around to try to cool them down. His play was a lot like Wilt in that regard. Rodman was a vet when he got to the Lakers and had earned his freedom, but Shaq was still earlier in his career. Made sense they would clash. Both were fantastic players, entertainers, and a lot of fun to watch!
I miss the unique personalities, the unique shooting forms, etc. Remember Terry Teagle of the Lakers. Horrible looking jump shot and bricked a lot, but he had an nba body so it was cool to me.
Honestly I think rodman really help the Lakers to their three championships he was only there for one season before he left to give them the veteran leadership on how to win
@@keepmoving2023-ku7nbugh no. Phil Jackson was the reason the Lakers would win the next 3 straight championships. Rodman at this point in his career was on decline, mentally. He just didn't have the patience and focus like he use to and hated being on a team with younger players. The Bulls where such a perfect fit for Rodman. Phil was a lay back coach and Jordan ran that locker room and they were mostly all veterans, grown ass men who knew how to take care of their business. That's what Rodman wanted but could no longer get once the Bulls broke up.
@@FuShengAlex Just not true. Dennis Rodman (as a Spur) against Shawn Kemp? Dennis Rodman (as a Spur) against Shaq? Dennis Rodman (as a Spur) against Olajuwon? Dennis Rodman (as a Spur) against every single referee in the league? He was the worm the entire time.
Rodman was a MASTER at getting in his opponents’ head and neutralizing them. Shaq was no exception. He was not just a gifted physical player, but he was extremely smart and knew how to take better opponents out of the game.
Man, der Typ war der Grund warum ich um drei Uhr morgens aufgestanden bin und die Playoffs zu schauen um danach noch vor der Schule zum Court zu gehen. Good old Days.
I feel like Shaq is kind of throwing shade at Rodman for the sake of making a spicy interview. When he says he’s the “worst teammate” I get what he’s saying, it’s saying he doesn’t like the attitude of appearing less committed than the rest of the team. It’s totally valid, but to say that makes him the “worst teammate” is a very modern media way to talk about it , that makes it seem more of an extreme opinion than it really is. Everyone in that era of ball knows how important Dennis was to the success of the teams he was playing for. Dennis is a legend of the same caliber that Shaq is, and Shaq acknowledged how great of a player he is, and I guarantee Shaq doesn’t regret having Dennis on his team. Shaq didn’t leave the LA because or Dennis, he left because of Kobe. That tells you everything you need to know.
Dennis Rodman could guard and defend against any player. Despite not being the strongest, he was athletic, mental tough and a hard working rebounder. You had his loyalty, then you had a iron-solid power forward who would never quit on you and would go up against the best with-out hesitation or fear.
@@WarioSaysSo And that was mostly his fault. They were loyal enough to continue paying him when he foolishly injured himself crashing a motorcycle and took time off
Dennis "The Worm" Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders of all-time in the NBA, and there is no question about it. But damn! He was an eccentric son-of-a-gun!!!! The Worm is also irritating to his opponents, and I get it....only to a point! All these technical fouls make no sense to the team and he can be an asshole sometimes as well. Do away with that! 💯
Rodman is one of my favorite players growing up. I liked his hustle. I especially liked the Bulls’ version of him. The team was able to maximize his talent and manage his colorful personality. He is probably among the hardest-working and most athletic players I’ve seen on a basketball court. I still think he could have easily scored a bit more. Many of his rebounds were near the ring. He scored more when he was younger.
Yup, gotta give Rodman his respect no matter whether you love him or hate him. The man wasn't afraid of anybody, and wasn't scared to get physical and possibly even get hurt. That kind of do-or-die mentality is basically absent in today's NBA.
I think it was the end of episode 3 of the last dance where Dennis walks out wearing leather drinking a beer, finishing his beer and getting on his bike rolls out behind his police escort! I don’t give a hoot 🦉 what negative shit Shaq has to say because that man is a national fucking treasure! He is a beautiful, vulnerable human being who deserves all the love in the world! God bless the Worm!
Rodmans fouls were hilarious because they were so obvious lol. He made a lot of enemies. I live in Chicago and watched the Bulls during that time period and I loved Rodman. Besides his fouls he was an awesome player.
Typical thug basketball, too bad the refs kissed Jordan's backside so much. I would love to see the Bulls play if the refs did not give them such a huge advantage, this was the beginning of Basketball being sports entertainment and not a legit sport anymore.
Just wanted to complement your channel. Came across it recently. I grew up in the 80’s when Magic and Bird were going at it along with the Pistons and Knicks great teams, etc., etc. Unfortunately, the NBA product just isn’t the same anymore. That’s not a knock on the players but rules that negate the physicality of the game. It’s a good time reminiscing here with your videos. Thanks and best of luck growing your channel. Hopefully, with the help of channels like yours, the youngins will see how the game was played and expect more from the NBA in the future!
10 years ago my brother lived in the Victoria Park neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale 6 blocks from Rodman's townhouse. He would get up early, 5 to 6a, to walk his dogs. Many times he would walk by Rodman's place. He told me that Rodman had a party 5 to 6 nights a week, every week, and people would be pouring out of his place at that time of the morning. All drunky pants, and totally freakie looking.
Rodman was an absolutely rabid animal. You just couldn't get him out of your hair, no matter what. His mental game isn one of the strongest I've ever seen.. Put literal fear in opponents
@@FuShengAlex Olajuwan lost defensive player of the year to Rodman, even though Rodman's numbers were lower because Rodman put more fear into players than Hakeem could ever dream.
@@TingTingalingy Olajuwon stomped all over he and Robinson in the playoffs so badly he didn't even wanna come back on the floor at one point and took off his shoes 🤣🤣. He tried his "mindgames" by tripping Hakeem in game 6 that he pulled on 'Zo and Dream just laughed it off and roasted him and sent him home for the summer.
The 90's teams were weak compared to the great 80's teams. I watched Boston destroy Jordan over and over and over again. It took Jordan 7 years before he won anything. Bird and Celtics were old and broken. Detroit not the same team. Jordan is the most over rated player in history. Maybe most athletic but that's it. His dunks were nothing like Dom's.
Rodman was one of the greatest of all time, seen him play many times. Could guard anyone but Bird. Loved Rodman, tough as nails. Took most our of their game like no other.
Dennis Rodman brought a type of intensity and energy today’s NBA rarely see’s. He brought his own technique on how the basketball 🏀 would rotate off any players shots, to place himself in correct positions to dominate the Rebounds. He never backed down from anyone on the court, and could disrupt the offensive flow of his opponents, with his intensity and ability to get in your head. Dennis Rodman is a true NBA Legend
All I got to say is Rodman is a proven champion. How many championships he has with Detroit / Chicago?? Where he clearly contributed to both teams success to win..enough said..
I was in my 20's throughout the 90's. While Larry Bird was my all time favorite ball player. I LOVED Dennis Rodman and would pick him on my personal all time team any day. He was a hard worker. A baller. Gave it everything he had. Love that. And had personality to boot.
They both where rivals during when Rodman played for the bulls and ironically they would end up playing on the same team for a bit it seems Rodman was not used to Kobe and Shaq apparently they did not do the stuff they did on the lakers they did in Chicago
I hated Rodman.... I loved Rodman... You couldn't say he wasn't great... but you couldn't say he wasn't an insane @$$. But truly one of the greats that could have been even greater if he had held it together mentally.
What made Dennis Dennis was the fact that he wasn't scared of anybody on the court. His mentality was 100% of his ability. He didn't really have the skills, he wasn't a super athlete, yeah he was big and strong, but not compared to the guys he dominated. Rodman was 100% will and determination and effort. He didn't give a fuck who you were, Shaq, Jordan, anybody, you were getting the fucking work, all day every day. I love that about him and that's why he's a legend and always will be.
Shaq wasn't really mature enough to handle other people being top dog until he got to Miami. Not a lot of superstars are. They all eventually realise that even if they are MVP, scoring champion, defensive champion whatever - you need a team to win.
Typical thug basketball, too bad the refs kissed Jordan's backside so much. I would love to see the Bulls play if the refs did not give them such a huge advantage, this was the beginning of Basketball being sports entertainment and not a legit sport anymore.
When I think about Shaq I think more about what could have been than how great he was. If he was more serious about his conditioning, health, defense, and shooting he could have been the greatest player of all time.
A. This video is funny. One of my most used quotes on remaining positive is Be like Shaq and block the negative. Be like Dennis Rodman and grab the positive. B. Who would have thought someone posted up a video get match my quote onv positivity. C. Thankyou!!! To the person who posted this video.
Shaq is my Favorite player to ever play in the NBA and I used to hate Rodman until the Bulls picked him up. I'm a life long Bulls fan and I always liked MJ but Shaq came out and and I just loved his tenacity and play more than anyone in the NBA. I tell my 8yr old about Shaq more than Jordan because I like the mindset of Jordan but I liked Shaq's more because of his journey being closer to mine growing up. I have since become a father for the first time and I've broken that cycle and I'm here for my family everyday.
When playing with the Bulls in one of their playoff runs he told Phil Jackson he needed a couple of days off a couple of weeks before round one started. Phil said ok and Rodman was gone for a week,awol. Nobody knew where he was. He was parting with his buddies and just showed up at practice. Nothing was said or done and helped lead the Bulls to a championship. What guy partied into the wee hours of the morning, dressed like a woman, wore a wedding dress in public, Dennis Rodman. What a card
Rodman was one of the few that Shaq couldn’t bully around. Rodman was way stronger than he looked, he wasn’t scared of anyone and he was so smart he knew where to be at all times. People assumed Rodman was dumb because he was loud and acted crazy but he was basketball smart. I remember Mutombo Bull and Yao Ming gave Shaq hell too. Shaq only had a few guys that he couldn’t get the best of. Dennis Rodman was the greatest rebounder ever because he knew his job and mastered it.
How many people wrapped Shaq up while he was going up for a dunk? It may have happened, but I don't remember seeing it. Rodman was one of the best ever, even if he annoyed the shit out of his teammates.
This is why Dennis is TOP 10 all time. You can argue with me all you want but Dennis was greatness and he didn’t even have to score points. It’s the intangibles that make you a champion.
Me personally I like Rodman he's different he worked hard and played harder like me Yeah he's kinda bizarre but u gotta love him His work on the court spoke for itself
Rodman was player who didn't care about Shaq size and strength. His mental and looking for challenge were absolutely on enormous level. Rodman was one of the best defenders ever for me.
Rodman broke shaq the same way MJ did in 96

I think the only other guy who had Shaq's incredible gift of a physic was Wilt, and though Shaq was slightly bigger maybe in his prime, Wilt was by far faster, and more overall athletic... Wilt was amazingly fast on the court. And the dude has the highest points in an NBA game I cant' believe anyone will ever beat....
Shaq though is one of my favorite players of all time, on and off the court, but he also had a gift that made it so he didn't have to do what some other players had to do to be great. Guys like Julius Erving, Bill Russell, etc, guys who were like watching true geniuses play the game... and that's also where Rodman was in his own way.
Shaq had everything that Rodman didn't. Shaq had a stable home, had bigger physique, was considered good looking, while Rodman suffered his entire life thinking he was trash because of what he went through growing up. So there is no doubt in today's rules Shaq would have played better against Rodman because there was no room, no space to get a little dirty like there was when Rodman and Shaq had their battles. But for the game as it was, when they played, that grey area was what allowed a man who would otherwise be physically dominated by a physically gifted athlete like Shaq, have a chance to sometimes honestly, make magic from nothing. He was one of the most ingenious at finding that line, and somehow being able to cross it without being called. Some of the ways he could look like he was honestly just focused on the ball, meanwhile his legs were doing things that no one saw because everyone was focused on the play above the shoulders, meanwhile Rodman was playing the game with his feet, perfectly placing his feet so that when Shaq got the ball and tried to move he was going to be falling over Rodman's leg, and if you didn't know Rodman was Rodman, no other player would have been called for it, because it could have just been an honest place to stand, but because you knew Rodman's game, you knew it wasn't an accident. And that takes a different kind of intelligence, and most of all, it takes a different kind of will. Anyone with Shaq's gifts physically is gonna be a star out there as long as they put in the hours... but Rodman, while not short, was no 7ft monster, and didn't even start to play basketball until he had a growth spurt after graduating highschool, and was working as a Janitor... To go from having the hell of a life he had as a kid, drug addict parents, being basically raised by another family who took him in, to being a Janitor after graduating, his life was basically ending where everyone expected his life to end up as, but to then playing on multiple championship teams in the NBA, it's amazing. The sheer will and force of finding a way to get those rebounds night after night, he really did succeed in a way no one thought he would... he know he could not catch up to others in other parts of the game, but he could be intelligent in ways that allowed him to neutralize their game... and he did it absolutely brilliantly night after night.
Sadly though, Rodman wasn't ever taught how to manage his money, coming from where he did growing up, and he really doesn't have much from what I know of his situation... Where Shaq is incredible wealthy... and deservedly so on Shaq's side, Shaq was brilliant in regards to how he built his fortune on top of his pay, etc. Not only that but Shaq gives a lot to charities, etc, so nothing but respect for Shaq on and off the court... just wish Rodman had managed to save more of his good fortune. Must be harder to have had all that and to have lost almost all of it... because Rodman for his entire life felt no one had any reason to love him, i think he believed unless he spent the money no one would care about him, so he was generous to the point of leaving almost nothing for himself at the end.. and I find that kind of a sad ending to his career...
Rodman was a genius at the mind games. Wasn't afraid to get physical and put on a good act.
I've never read Rodman and genius in the same sentence before.
I would love to see some of these new players play back in the Bad Boys/Dennis Rodman era.
Would be a quick game!!
I am sitting here smiling and laughing all the way through.
I hear you. Miss the old battles in the post.
Rodman, a true legacy of the Bad Boys Pistons. Even after he left Detroit he still pulled those dirty tricks on opposing players which drove them nuts.
I know this clip was supposed to be about Rodman, but watching those replays just reminded me of how good Shaq was. Continually double and triple teamed, getting hacked to buggery, and the guy was still unstoppable. Everyone talks about the power but the guy had incredible instincts and a great basketball mind as well as solid post and a deft touch around the rim. One of the all time greats.
should see the videos of rodman and the rest of the pistons playing "jordan rules" on michael jordan... violating him for the first 3 seasons until jordan learned how to cope
Yeah he was amazing for sure. He was far more than just a big body. It's true that he did suck at free throws but people kind of used that as an excuse to put down his shooting. But he was a decent threat from mid range as well.
Sorry guys, O’Neal was a bully that only did well because of his size. He DID NOT have any touch, especially a deft one, and intellectually not much was going on. Today, now that he’s a bit older, he understands the game, but back then he did less with more than anyone else I can think of.
@@bitterpaul6151 nonsense.
@@bitterpaul6151 yeah.. you clearly bitter..
It's kinda psycho how Rodman never appeared upset or bothered....
a black man with emotional intelligence is pyscho, huh. guess we better keep an eye on that tim duncan. Understand sir...... Tauruses move different. Rodman been thru way worse than a physical basketball game
@@loopspringsteen1479 NO. Just RODMAN...in THOSE situations...dafuq? Slow down✌🏾
because he was doing it on purpose and didn't feared being hit
Rodman’s a peacekeeper.
I'm a lifelong diehard bulls fan since 1983 & I'm forever grateful for the memories & his relentless defense against the big Aristotle would drive him crazy.
I witnessed the best team in NBA HISTORY become champions. I was at game 6 of the1996 NBA finals. It was Jordan's first championship since his dad was murdered and the game was on Father's Day!
Typical thug basketball, too bad the refs kissed Jordan's backside so much. I would love to see the Bulls play if the refs did not give them such a huge advantage, this was the beginning of Basketball being sports entertainment and not a legit sport anymore.
Watching the playoffs right now. The kids today have no idea what they’re missing out on. Nothing but jump shooting and flopping. Any time there’s contact the player is on the ground wincing in agony. No toughness or grit. Game is so soft.
omg thank you.. so rare to see these comments, everyone so hyped this playoffs cause finally few big men jokic, embiid showed oldschool basketball posting etc, even if this is best playoffs in last 10 15 years, it still cant be in same league as 80s 90s early 00s nba... in past it was so physical, so much hustle and defending was at peak, now its all about run, dribble once or non and shoot shoot shoot, got random rebound? shoot again... its so annoying for oldschool basketball fans, especially since im from europe and even today its way more physical and defensive
Woke basketball
the game had more grit back then but the players today have much more overall talent. NBA vets state this all the time.
Hurr durr ball no same, me cry
Yes soft as hell
Rodman knew Shaq did not really practice free throws.
😂 That’s funny.
I have to say it's hard not to like everyone in your videos just because you put that awesome classic baseline dunk from John Stark's in your intros ... It's players like John Starks and Charles Oakley from my favorite Knicks teams growing up that make me realize how great that era was.
The fact that Rodman didn't practice much and showed up minutes before games, proves how great and legendary a player he was. Everyone else, practicing and disciplined... Yet they were no where as productive as Dennis in the paint! Most underrated player ever in the NBA, Dennis Rodman!!!
There’s a reason Rodman wasn’t a great ball handler, distributor, or shooter.
@@33greenleaf yeah rodman was an enforcer... his only job was to get physical and get the ball and give it to the players who could shoot.
That was his personality type. I remember him saying he likes hanging out with rockstars more than pro athletes. Rodman was the rockstar of basketball.
the things one read here: 'he fact that Rodman didn't practice much' => where do you get that idea from? He was a maniac in the way how he practiced. He worked hard, but also played hard.
The thing about him not liking Dennis Rodman doesn't really make me like Shaq anymore. Shaq obviously he's one of the greatest centers of all time. But can Shaq honestly sit there and say he was the best teammate and that people didn't despise him in the locker room? All that crap and drama he had with Kobe because he saw a young and upcoming Superstar and he threw a massive tantrum about it. Which then turned the locker room into a complete toxic cesspool. Rodman showed up even at the tail end of his career gave them 10 to 20 rebounds and helped shut down some of the better players and was still a force of nature. I dont want to hear that crap from Shaquille O'Neal.
Shaq acting like he didn’t get swept the most out of every center in his era
Well said bro. 💪🏾
Ya that team should’ve won more championships but didn’t due to egos. Hell in a few year span they had Rodman, Payton and Karl Malone go through there. Not to mention Shaq left because he couldn’t handle Kobe becoming the #1 player
Shaq and Kobe both.
Jealous because Dennis was a rock star and taking attention away from him. Rodman said he hated playing on that team because of how childish and petty (mostly Shaq) they were.
I’d definitely say Shaq was jealous of him as he mentioned himself.
He was allowed to do as he pleased but still came with results that exceeded most players in the league.
They couldn’t stand how he could make things happen his way compared to what others needed to do to make it happen.
Yeah but it's still disrespectful and narcissistic to not follow the rules like everyone else. Just makes him a POS
@@damo9961 I don't think it was narcissism, Rodman is just a very odd character and the stuff that works for most people to get them in the right frame of mind / prepared for a game didn't work for him. The Bulls understood that, the Lakers didn't. And I'm not criticising the Lakers here, if what he was doing had negative implications for the rest of the team he just wasn't a good fit.
What makes him even more odd is the dichotomy in that he was a complete loner (as far as his teammates went anyway) yet the ultimate team player on the court.
I love it
@@damo9961oh we found the authoritarian rule follower. 😂 because he's different you want him to be just like you that wasn't the point
I think by the time Rodman got to the Lakers he was just done with basketball. He clearly needed the money but he didn’t care anymore
Rodman got into everyone's head and made you think he was just goofing around and not paying attention when, in reality, he was laser focused and knew exactly what he was doing.
I used to think he was a joke when I was a kid while watching him in the 90s, but the more I watched him, and the more I've learned about his history, I've learned that Rodman was a very serious player who worked hard and played hard.
It still blows my mind how Rodman was so strong and such an intense athlete, but still pretty cool headed and would literally hug and kills players and carry them around to try to cool them down. His play was a lot like Wilt in that regard.
Rodman was a vet when he got to the Lakers and had earned his freedom, but Shaq was still earlier in his career. Made sense they would clash. Both were fantastic players, entertainers, and a lot of fun to watch!
I miss the unique personalities, the unique shooting forms, etc. Remember Terry Teagle of the Lakers. Horrible looking jump shot and bricked a lot, but he had an nba body so it was cool to me.
@@user-vu7us9sw9i Bill Cartwright
@@robertlozano6780 I wouldn't trade him for any player today...
Honestly I think rodman really help the Lakers to their three championships he was only there for one season before he left to give them the veteran leadership on how to win
@@keepmoving2023-ku7nbugh no. Phil Jackson was the reason the Lakers would win the next 3 straight championships. Rodman at this point in his career was on decline, mentally. He just didn't have the patience and focus like he use to and hated being on a team with younger players. The Bulls where such a perfect fit for Rodman. Phil was a lay back coach and Jordan ran that locker room and they were mostly all veterans, grown ass men who knew how to take care of their business. That's what Rodman wanted but could no longer get once the Bulls broke up.
Those were some great basketball moments, by great basketball players when the rules didn't impede the game.
Rodman would ve aggravated the hell outta Lebron
Yes, those days were definitely classic. I’m glad to be alive those days especially the Jordan Chicago vs every other team rivalries.
Dennis Rodman played like that against everybody.
Not when he was a Spur
@@FuShengAlex Just not true. Dennis Rodman (as a Spur) against Shawn Kemp? Dennis Rodman (as a Spur) against Shaq? Dennis Rodman (as a Spur) against Olajuwon? Dennis Rodman (as a Spur) against every single referee in the league? He was the worm the entire time.
Rodman was a MASTER at getting in his opponents’ head and neutralizing them. Shaq was no exception. He was not just a gifted physical player, but he was extremely smart and knew how to take better opponents out of the game.
Man, der Typ war der Grund warum ich um drei Uhr morgens aufgestanden bin und die Playoffs zu schauen um danach noch vor der Schule zum Court zu gehen. Good old Days.
I feel like Shaq is kind of throwing shade at Rodman for the sake of making a spicy interview. When he says he’s the “worst teammate” I get what he’s saying, it’s saying he doesn’t like the attitude of appearing less committed than the rest of the team. It’s totally valid, but to say that makes him the “worst teammate” is a very modern media way to talk about it , that makes it seem more of an extreme opinion than it really is. Everyone in that era of ball knows how important Dennis was to the success of the teams he was playing for. Dennis is a legend of the same caliber that Shaq is, and Shaq acknowledged how great of a player he is, and I guarantee Shaq doesn’t regret having Dennis on his team. Shaq didn’t leave the LA because or Dennis, he left because of Kobe. That tells you everything you need to know.
Dennis Rodman could guard and defend against any player. Despite not being the strongest, he was athletic, mental tough and a hard working rebounder.
You had his loyalty, then you had a iron-solid power forward who would never quit on you and would go up against the best with-out hesitation or fear.
Never quit? Robinson and popovich would tell you otherwise!
@@FuShengAlex But they never had his loyalty earned like Pistons and Bulls coaches earned with there trust in him.
@@WarioSaysSo
And that was mostly his fault. They were loyal enough to continue paying him when he foolishly injured himself crashing a motorcycle and took time off
@@FuShengAlex Point taken! Yeah that was his dumb move allright.
Rodman was a different kind of beast who would have had LeBron for lunch defensively 🙌🏽
game is different from then and now... back then it was way more violent and physical.
Hell uea he would..with Rodman coming home at 3 am on xatacy
Dennis "The Worm" Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders of all-time in the NBA, and there is no question about it. But damn! He was an eccentric son-of-a-gun!!!! The Worm is also irritating to his opponents, and I get it....only to a point! All these technical fouls make no sense to the team and he can be an asshole sometimes as well. Do away with that! 💯
Dennis Rodman is the best defender and rebounder and that is why he could do anything on his terms.
We need another player like Rodman in the league. He really gets people to tune in. You can't look away!
I forgot they where teammates for a cup of coffee, I just remember Rodman locking down Shaq in Orlando making him cry😂
...Rodman's a Sigma...always has been...he did wrestling and he went to North Korea, too...blessed are the peacemakers, indeed...
Dennis was my role model back when I was 14 :)
Forever #91 D-Rod!
Love your comment about those old school rivalry games.
Rodman is one of my favorite players growing up. I liked his hustle. I especially liked the Bulls’ version of him. The team was able to maximize his talent and manage his colorful personality. He is probably among the hardest-working and most athletic players I’ve seen on a basketball court. I still think he could have easily scored a bit more. Many of his rebounds were near the ring. He scored more when he was younger.
Yup, gotta give Rodman his respect no matter whether you love him or hate him. The man wasn't afraid of anybody, and wasn't scared to get physical and possibly even get hurt. That kind of do-or-die mentality is basically absent in today's NBA.
Rodman worked hard, was an aggressive player, and was smart. He’d get in your head. Incredible player. I wouldn’t want to match up against him.
I think it was the end of episode 3 of the last dance where Dennis walks out wearing leather drinking a beer, finishing his beer and getting on his bike rolls out behind his police escort! I don’t give a hoot 🦉 what negative shit Shaq has to say because that man is a national fucking treasure! He is a beautiful, vulnerable human being who deserves all the love in the world! God bless the Worm!
shaq didnt like him for the fact Rodman was smaller and handled shaq like he was his master,
rodman's bb iq was so high, after playing everyday for 20 years i doubt missing coach talk would make a difference to rodman's game
Rodmans fouls were hilarious because they were so obvious lol. He made a lot of enemies. I live in Chicago and watched the Bulls during that time period and I loved Rodman. Besides his fouls he was an awesome player.
Typical thug basketball, too bad the refs kissed Jordan's backside so much. I would love to see the Bulls play if the refs did not give them such a huge advantage, this was the beginning of Basketball being sports entertainment and not a legit sport anymore.
Shaq hates Rodman because Rodman shut him down 😂
Fax
Rodman is my favorite player of all-time! Thanks for the great video!
Rodzilla was the greatest defensive player of all time!
Thanks for all the old school "best era" content!
Just wanted to complement your channel. Came across it recently. I grew up in the 80’s when Magic and Bird were going at it along with the Pistons and Knicks great teams, etc., etc.
Unfortunately, the NBA product just isn’t the same anymore. That’s not a knock on the players but rules that negate the physicality of the game.
It’s a good time reminiscing here with your videos.
Thanks and best of luck growing your channel.
Hopefully, with the help of channels like yours, the youngins will see how the game was played and expect more from the NBA in the future!
So basically Rodman has more rebounds and hoes than Shaq 😂😂😂
10 years ago my brother lived in the Victoria Park neighborhood in Fort Lauderdale 6 blocks from Rodman's townhouse. He would get up early, 5 to 6a, to walk his dogs. Many times he would walk by Rodman's place. He told me that Rodman had a party 5 to 6 nights a week, every week, and people would be pouring out of his place at that time of the morning. All drunky pants, and totally freakie looking.
NBA is like tissue paper today.. Cant call it a contact sport anymore.
Tell the truth
Rodman was an absolutely rabid animal. You just couldn't get him out of your hair, no matter what. His mental game isn one of the strongest I've ever seen.. Put literal fear in opponents
Not Bird or Hakeem!
@@FuShengAlex Olajuwan lost defensive player of the year to Rodman, even though Rodman's numbers were lower because Rodman put more fear into players than Hakeem could ever dream.
@@TingTingalingy Olajuwon stomped all over he and Robinson in the playoffs so badly he didn't even wanna come back on the floor at one point and took off his shoes 🤣🤣.
He tried his "mindgames" by tripping Hakeem in game 6 that he pulled on 'Zo and Dream just laughed it off and roasted him and sent him home for the summer.
@@FuShengAlex so much so... Rodman won defensive player of the year over Hakeem.
@@TingTingalingy and Hakeem won DPOY over Rodman as well.
That’s what’s wrong with the world today” too much prejudice and hate👊🏽
God i miss the 90s NBA the teams the players the rivalry the determination to win
The 90's teams were weak compared to the great 80's teams. I watched Boston destroy Jordan over and over and over again. It took Jordan 7 years before he won anything. Bird and Celtics were old and broken. Detroit not the same team. Jordan is the most over rated player in history. Maybe most athletic but that's it. His dunks were nothing like Dom's.
@@BillJohnston-y7o I was born in 83 and didnt start watching till 92 (I think) got any 80s games you recommend
Rodman was one of the greatest of all time, seen him play many times. Could guard anyone but Bird. Loved Rodman, tough as nails. Took most our of their game like no other.
This man caused mayhem on the court. Long live Rodman
Dennis Rodman brought a type of intensity and energy today’s NBA rarely see’s. He brought his own technique on how the basketball 🏀 would rotate off any players shots, to place himself in correct positions to dominate the Rebounds.
He never backed down from anyone on the court, and could disrupt the offensive flow of his opponents, with his intensity and ability to get in your head. Dennis Rodman is a true NBA Legend
Dennis never got tired. Never.
Another badass video, my man! Keep up the great work and the focus on this great era, it’s all about Saint Charles Oakley for me💪
What I picked up from this video was that Rodman was one of the very few "strongest players" to ever play the game!
All I got to say is Rodman is a proven champion. How many championships he has with Detroit / Chicago?? Where he clearly contributed to both teams success to win..enough said..
His contribution was enormous. He was supposed to do a "dirty work" and he was perfect with that.
I am gonna say something I think nobody has ever said before:
“Oh, the 90’s!!”
Gotta love this channel!
I was in my 20's throughout the 90's. While Larry Bird was my all time favorite ball player. I LOVED Dennis Rodman and would pick him on my personal all time team any day. He was a hard worker. A baller. Gave it everything he had. Love that. And had personality to boot.
I am not a fan of the current NBA -- but I love this content. Well done. I miss 80s, 90s, and early 2000s NBA.
Best player ever who goes under your skin and make them loose concentration to loose the game
Hey just subscribed, love the channel
Imagine Booker in the 90's, the pressure would kill him.
Rodman was a freakin menace. Legend
Dennis "The Worm" Rodman has his own smart, strategic and creative mind plays.
They both where rivals during when Rodman played for the bulls and ironically they would end up playing on the same team for a bit it seems Rodman was not used to Kobe and Shaq apparently they did not do the stuff they did on the lakers they did in Chicago
I'm gonna call you Doc like Doc from "Back from the future" Sean, thanks for getting us to travel back to the 90s so often !
I hated Rodman.... I loved Rodman... You couldn't say he wasn't great... but you couldn't say he wasn't an insane @$$. But truly one of the greats that could have been even greater if he had held it together mentally.
Still waiting for the part where he said “he didn’t like Rodman”. He never said he didn’t like him, he said he pretty much did not follow rules.
What made Dennis Dennis was the fact that he wasn't scared of anybody on the court. His mentality was 100% of his ability. He didn't really have the skills, he wasn't a super athlete, yeah he was big and strong, but not compared to the guys he dominated. Rodman was 100% will and determination and effort. He didn't give a fuck who you were, Shaq, Jordan, anybody, you were getting the fucking work, all day every day. I love that about him and that's why he's a legend and always will be.
Seems like a hate/love relationship. Respect too. Great channel here. Has the feel of basketball like it used to be.
Out here smelling like 4 quarters 😂
There sure are a lot of sports dudes who hate other sports dudes.
Shaq wasn't really mature enough to handle other people being top dog until he got to Miami. Not a lot of superstars are. They all eventually realise that even if they are MVP, scoring champion, defensive champion whatever - you need a team to win.
Watch that 98 game bulls vs spurs rodman handles both duncan and robinson.
Because Rodman owned Shaq.
Was geht Shawn.. hier ist der Ali old school… 🤣Daniel Hürth Feature Cousine. Freut mich das du da bist.. liebe Grüße aus Kassel
Rodman is The Best Rebounder Ever & I Am glad he ended up My M.J. Bulls Championship Teams!!! THANK YOU DENNIS RODMAN, YOU ARE THE MAN BROTHER!!!
Rodmans definitely one of the best but how do you put him ahead of the great Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain?
Typical thug basketball, too bad the refs kissed Jordan's backside so much. I would love to see the Bulls play if the refs did not give them such a huge advantage, this was the beginning of Basketball being sports entertainment and not a legit sport anymore.
When I think about Shaq I think more about what could have been than how great he was. If he was more serious about his conditioning, health, defense, and shooting he could have been the greatest player of all time.
100%
You're starting an nba team and you can pick any 12 players from any era. Somewhere in that group is Rodman.
Rodman hooked his foot on shaq to make it look like he tripped him 🤣. Dirtyyy. respect tho
I love in the foul at 5:00 Rodman's just lookin at Shaq like "Bro, my bad, but I had to..."
A. This video is funny. One of my most used quotes on remaining positive is
Be like Shaq and block the negative. Be like Dennis Rodman and grab the positive.
B. Who would have thought someone posted up a video get match my quote onv positivity.
C. Thankyou!!! To the person who posted this video.
Man those were the days. The best basketball ever.
Shaq is my Favorite player to ever play in the NBA and I used to hate Rodman until the Bulls picked him up. I'm a life long Bulls fan and I always liked MJ but Shaq came out and and I just loved his tenacity and play more than anyone in the NBA. I tell my 8yr old about Shaq more than Jordan because I like the mindset of Jordan but I liked Shaq's more because of his journey being closer to mine growing up. I have since become a father for the first time and I've broken that cycle and I'm here for my family everyday.
shaq cant shoot FT, so rodman fouled to prevent the dunk. hilarious genius!
When playing with the Bulls in one of their playoff runs he told Phil Jackson he needed a couple of days off a couple of weeks before round one started. Phil said ok and Rodman was gone for a week,awol. Nobody knew where he was. He was parting with his buddies and just showed up at practice. Nothing was said or done and helped lead the Bulls to a championship. What guy partied into the wee hours of the morning, dressed like a woman, wore a wedding dress in public, Dennis Rodman. What a card
Did you see how he held Shaq like he was small. That man was energy pure energy. Strength out of this world.
Rodman was one of the few that Shaq couldn’t bully around. Rodman was way stronger than he looked, he wasn’t scared of anyone and he was so smart he knew where to be at all times. People assumed Rodman was dumb because he was loud and acted crazy but he was basketball smart. I remember Mutombo Bull and Yao Ming gave Shaq hell too. Shaq only had a few guys that he couldn’t get the best of. Dennis Rodman was the greatest rebounder ever because he knew his job and mastered it.
How many people wrapped Shaq up while he was going up for a dunk? It may have happened, but I don't remember seeing it. Rodman was one of the best ever, even if he annoyed the shit out of his teammates.
Please show the battles between Kobe Bryant and Ron Artest.
His motor never stopped. He had desire, great iq, and was in world class shape. And bad attitude. Perfect for power forward.
This is why Dennis is TOP 10 all time. You can argue with me all you want but Dennis was greatness and he didn’t even have to score points. It’s the intangibles that make you a champion.
Me personally I like Rodman he's different he worked hard and played harder like me Yeah he's kinda bizarre but u gotta love him His work on the court spoke for itself
Dennis Rodman was a phenomenal defensive player and rebounder.
