He didn't even play until his teens or something like that, just crazy. The guy made a Hall of Fame career out of just outworking and outsmarting opponents and doing all the things most guys don't want to do on the basketball court. I'm so glad he made the Hall of Fame because he's very deserving. It also sends a message to players that if you play the game the right way and do it at an elite level, people will notice.
my style was simlar to his back in 96, on way lower level of course. But just like Dennis, it got me a place on the team i wanted to be on. :D and we won what we could win :D
Imppressive rebounds but passing the ball to his teammate as if he knew exactly that his teammate would be on scoring position is another level of intelligence of the game.
Where Dennis is located at on the NBA list of rebounders, #23 all time, 6’8” isn’t really tall considering his contemporaries. There are roughly seven players Rodman’s height or shorter on the NBA top 25 career rebound list. Now I may be off by a couple, but Rodman was not some 7’ tall center. And, all but two (2) of the players ahead of Rodman played more games. He was just a motivated, intelligent, freak athlete.
Imagine if Dennis was 100% dedicated to his career without all the ejections, suspensions and had a positive mentality. Scary. The man was a beast without even trying.
The thing about his game though is it was all intentional. Rodman mastered the psyche of the game. He knew how to get in to heads and get people rattled. He watched more film then majority of guys. He knew shot placements and tendencies to help him be great
He was 100% dedicated to his career. That man literally sacrificed his whole body to save a ball. He just balances it out with all the other distractions, and ironically, it worked for him. That fact MJ the most non-friendly athlete of all times still has RESPECT for this legend speaks volumes. Different strokes 4 different folks
Dennis rodman was a hyperactive, sociopath (Not a bad thing). He had to do all the "extra stuff" to burn off all the extra energy and frustration. Him being an elite athlete speak for itself, but don't assume that his approach to basketball was "nonchalant" because of his antics... It was all mental warfare. The Man was from another planet (Not a bad thing).
I watched Dennis throughout his career....his anticipation on rebounding was something to behold. I never seen anyone like that: he knew how the ball was going to come off the rim; he'd beat his man to the spot because he was a step ahead. That's a big reason why he won rebounding titles into his mid-30's or so. He wasn't as athletic at that point.....and was seldom as tall as the man guarding him....but that IQ...that anticipation...craftiness...tipping the ball to himself like a volleyball player....but he was humble about it: "just doing my job." :)
One thing about Dennis that isn’t talked about enough, imo, is his passing. Dude would get a rebound and instantly and accurately get the ball to a teammate. What a beast.
I read his book "Bad As I Wanna Be" as he stated turning rebound into an artform. That one rebound look like he was dunking when he was with the Lakers is a big example of that.
There are lots of stories about Rodman rebound mythology. One example is how Rodman talked about studying the spin and how it affected the trajectory off the board. Isaiah Thomas recalls Rodman telling him that “your ball spins 3 times.” Steve Kerr also said that Rodman intentionally avoids scoring so he can position himself again for another rebound. Truly ahead of his time.
His hustle, surprising strength and tenacity were on another level, his basketball IQ was also really high. After grabbing a rebound he could quickly scan the floor and also make an assist if he saw the opening.
Rodman played in arguably the most physical era of basketball and as a forward. No one holds a candle to his prowess as a rebounder. This guy made rebounding a science.
Does anyone else get the feeling that he was intentionally tipping it up in the air to toy with his opponents the whole time...like he could've always just brought it down but if you watch he almost always has control of tipping the ball where he wants it to go. What a uniquely beautiful player. He was the past, present, and future all in one.
Number 3 is my personal favorite, the fact that he did it against another one of the greatest rebounders of all-time in Barkley and the subsequent defensive hustle he showed in order to get that chasedown block on Chuck is just perfection
Greatest rebounder ever PERIOD. It's like the ball always looks for Dennis to catch it 😂 I think he's the only athlete that can out pace a horse in a stamina competition.
Dennis Rodman was recruited HARD by both Dean Smith and the legendary Frank "Fuzzy" Zoeller to both UNC and Franklin Univ of Central Kentucky for his 3ball, but an emergency appendectomy and subsequent shoulder injury during recovery affected his shot so badly he decided to focus on rebounding. The rest is history.
I don’t think people truly understand the level of dedication and work ethic he really had. You don’t become the greatest at something without putting in the work.
He was very good, but the greatest? Rodman exceeded 30 rebounds 5 times. Wilt: 192 times. Rodman exceeded 27 rebounds a dozen times in his career. Wilt AVERAGED more than 27 in a season. Rodman's best rebound total: 34. Wilt: 55. Rodman's best year: 18.7 per game. Wilt's CAREER average: 22.9. Career totals: Rodman 11954 in 14 seasons. Wilt: 23924 in 14 seasons.

Let's not forget the honorable mention "near" rebound when he dove horizontally out of bounds not worrired about getting injured and caught a ball going out of bounds.
this man passes it to micheal jorndan and says “fuck yeah!!”. You can see this man is enjoying the game probably more than the everyone watching them in the crowd Combined!!!

He did a average 25+ scoring in college and he chose not to score he liked rebounding and defensive play

Crazy to think of you look at the man now, you would have no clue that he’s on the list of all time greatest athletes ever.
I mean, he’s 6’8”
@@kieransoregaard-utt8being tall doesn’t mean you’re athletic it means you have back problems if you’re Rodman’s current age 😂😂

Right he barely cared about the money basketball was the only thing he could do and have fun so he played his own way most of his career
The thing about his game though is it was all intentional. Rodman mastered the psyche of the game. He knew how to get in to heads and get people rattled. He watched more film then majority of guys. He knew shot placements and tendencies to help him be great

The G.O.A.T 🐐 of Boards.
NOPE. WILT GOD !!
@@PIP...33that's your opinion
In case you don't know, Sakuragi in Slam Dunk was inspired by Rodman, said the writer.

in every loose ball "you know the drill"
-Rodman to Mr. basket Ball
watching him and charles barkley fight for the rebound must have been special
There are lots of stories about Rodman rebound mythology.

Isaiah Thomas recalls Rodman telling him that “your ball spins 3 times.”

Truly ahead of his time.
Its really sad that more people don't recognize how good he was, and respect him on that.
They do. There was jordan pippen and Rodman. Shit don’t work without him. People know that.
When you have the best rebounder who can get the ball back everytime for MJ and Pippen. It's just unfair for every other team
Dennis can even make rebounding a highlight
Great hand eye coordination especially when the ball is in the air.
Nobody does it like rodman nowadays
I hate when you oldheads downplay everything. Giannis, Jokic, Rudy, ??
His hustle, surprising strength and tenacity were on another level, his basketball IQ was also really high. After grabbing a rebound he could quickly scan the floor and also make an assist if he saw the opening.

My favorite player of all time.
you know you're awesome when you have a top10 rebound video !

I assume he just wants dragging two or three the opposite players and makes room for his teammates.
obviusly, a lot of traveling.
Never thought I'd ever watch a top 10 rebound highlight reel 😅
Wow 34 rebounds in one game… Something I’ve never known about!
He had FIVE games with more than 30 rebounds. Dude was ridiculous
Thanks...Could U make top 100 Rodman Rebounds Career Video?
Best rebounder ever !!! Just fact !!! Sorry Wilt Kareem Bill & Oscar.
I saw the thumbnail and I'm like every last one of these are in the Slam Dunk Manga 😂😂😂
Number 3 is my personal favorite, the fact that he did it against another one of the greatest rebounders of all-time in Barkley and the subsequent defensive hustle he showed in order to get that chasedown block on Chuck is just perfection
Superman, Batman, and Rodman...
He knew his role
He just timed it perfectly
One of my all time favourite players! Fire Video!
I consider him the best ever at rebounding. No question about it. Glad to have seen his accomplishments since he was with Detroit.
I'm really watching a compilation of rebounds
But props to the worm tho 👌
Hands down by far the most skilled rebounder, smartest rebounder
Greatest rebounder ever PERIOD. It's like the ball always looks for Dennis to catch it 😂 I think he's the only athlete that can out pace a horse in a stamina competition.
One who controls the rebound, controls the game
gori to hanamichi
He is a master of the art! That dude could game!
Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders of all time, top 5 maybe
This man was nuts in a great way! Dood was an incredible athlete and a tough competitor 👏😁

You may not like him, but he was good

Great short video.
Control the rebound control the game
Slam dunk vibes.
Who controls the rebounds controls the world
He’s the Steve Harvey of basketball
My sakuragi rodman
Hes the only player that deserves a top 10 rebounds video
2:05 confusing mashup of audio with video. Rodman was definitely not 36 years old when with the Spurs 😂
Nba best ever defender..tough as nails. He always was defending against the other team best player regardeless the position..
How do you not realize that pippen was the better defender when they played on the same team lol
Inspirational 🐐
Hanamichi sakuragi
His 2nd 3rd 4th and so on jumps when going for the rebound is unparallel
Possibly the only guy to make rebounding look like art. Sir Charles close second.
People dont know the movie cast away was about him.
He was just trying to get wilson back

Rodman averaged 19 rebounds a game. For a whole SEASON lol In 1991. He averaged 14-15-16 rebounds a game, regularly, through his career. Just man lol
Thank you
This man is basically playing basketball upside down at this point, as if the freaking air made the ball rebound. Crazy
Dennis Rodman 😊😊👍👍👍
Rodman vs Charles fight the battle of the ages
Sakuragi
Rebounding machine
Could do a top 10 of his most acrobatic rebound
this man passes it to micheal jorndan and says “fuck yeah!!”. You can see this man is enjoying the game probably more than the everyone watching them in the crowd Combined!!!
Having a standing ovation for a rebound ALONE. I think that ends the debate.
Rodman is the 🐐 GOAT!
Easily legendary rebound status
Real life HANAMICHI SAKURAGI
Him leading in rebounding definitely helped Jordan lead in scoring
he is indeed one of the greatest helpers in Jordan's career.
The fact that he even has a video like this is hilarious
Number 4 it's like dribbling in the air.
