Rodman is one reason why I loved nba in nineties ,if I had to build a team,i take him in power forward .He could have been 1996 mvp playoffs .Give me another name who can guard both Shaq,Barkley,Bird,Jordan or Magic ,for me he is the best defender in history . His way to stick you with his legs and follow you whatever your weight or your speed is just amazing ,a lesson for any players who want to improve his defense .Some think he was a clown ,but everything was strategy that he learned with The great Laimbeer and Mahorn , Just a Legend ,Congrats Sir for your amazing career .
Not only that, Rodman was so good at defense that he was willing to sacrifice himself and take whatever the offense could dish out, and that would often mean trouble for the offense. Rodman was unique of a player.
Because of how great and explosive Michael Jordan was on the offensive side of thr the ball, people tend to forget how great he was defensively as well.
@@djeanpierre yep Brickowski was talking smack to Rodman and Rodman used it to get the referee's attention, and the Brick got ejected lol. Rodman made it clear to the head coach, George Carl, and Brickowski that they could not psyche him out and that he was the master of it. Those were great times of basketball.
@@brianlacroix822 HAHAHAHA 🤣 🤡 he may have even trolled even the Boomers and the Kiwis LOL Thon Maker: prepare to meet your MAKER Dennis Rodman: I am going to literally end your career 😄😄
The only reason why Dennis used to go after Mourning a lot was because, Mourning was a star. Dennis was known for going after elite players to throw them off.
1:16 Tend forget how mad athletic Dennis is with this version known to be always partying and all yet still had the batteries to go through practices and play full minutes.
Rodman was a super talent, first mental intimidator / predator-for-wins since bill russell. but i got so tired of watching all of the interruptions, even in the playoffs, for cleaning up messes that rodman did doing sly cheap shots or other antics. it was to the point where it really disrupted the flow of the game- i'm sure that was a desired consequence by the bulls when they allowed him to go feral.
@@spitshinetommy3721 rodman toward the end of his career with refusing to shoot was awful. but he was still the best rebounder and a lock down defender. he did score double digits earlier in his career. he wasn't born to be a volume nba scorer. neither was bill russell. he did average 18 and 19 but many seasons 13-14 and final one 9.9. not elite scoring but elite everything else. so there is a valid comparison to rodman in that respect. take a look at wes unseld. first couple of years he scored. then he quit doing it by and large and scored half what he did as a rookie and younger player the reason being was that he wasn't the best scorer on the team. not even 2nd best. he knew after thinking about his role and how the team could win that his best efforts were elite defense, elite rebounding, the best outlet passes i have ever seen. so there's two guys besides rodman who did dirty work and were mean as a snake and effective at their strengths. and smart enough to realize the team was better off without them trying to put up 15-18 a night because they had other better scorers. and don't think for a second that jordan and pippen didn't LOVE the fact that rodman only put in 5 pts a game. more for them. and they were definitely more skilled at scoring, more effective. right?!
I remember a game in the 90s where Rodman was getting in Zo's head. During a break in play, Rodman goes up to Zo and tries to pat him on his butt. Zo slaps his arm away, and Rodman tries again and again to pat him on the butt, with a giant smirk on his face, with Zo slapping his arm away each time. Do you remember what game that was? I'd love to see that clip and see if my memory is accurate.
Many many rebounds Dennis knew where the ball was going to go. He said that he had someone shoot from every possible angle and then study it. Only Dennis could think of a way like this, basketball IQ 1000 level shit
Rodman could score whenever he wants but he is a smart player so he always goes for the rebound or the pass to the open guys, and it is not all about PPG or PCT. if you have highs in that but your team still loses in games and playoffs, you are nothing.
Lebron would run them over, you say this and that, but you forget Lebron played at the tail end of defense like this, Lebron was getting bullied too but he running dudes over when he got bigger, i can only imagine what Lebron would be like if he could actually use his strength and not get held back with the rules of today.
Rodman has such strong mentality playing through injuries. He is the Master.
He was physically strong as heel too.

👍🏾don’t forget Malone. Rodman is my fav PF
Not only that, Rodman was so good at defense that he was willing to sacrifice himself and take whatever the offense could dish out, and that would often mean trouble for the offense. Rodman was unique of a player.
Gary Payton was a better defender than Rodman but Rodman brought so many intangibles to the table, including defense.
Because of how great and explosive Michael Jordan was on the offensive side of thr the ball, people tend to forget how great he was defensively as well.
When basketball is still tough and no crying babies.
LeBron would definitely quit. Even Bronsexuals know he’s one of the biggest crybabies in sports history
Wrong. Zo, Penny, Malone, and few others were huge cray babies back in the day. Every era has a couple cowards.
@@Vito_Caligiuri I think he would literally cry.
Fr we have people today crying about Giannis and stuff it’s unreal
@@konstantinkoverchenko9587 cap

True dat
@@PaulSmith-vo3ge 💯
Alonzo's eyes go SUPER WIDE in relief at 2:48 as Rodman is taken out of the game! 🤣
The same mind games that Rodman pulled with Frank Brickowski in the finals of 1996 😅😅😅😅
Except it backfired and Brickowski ended up getting himself kicked out of a game…lol

A master of the mind games
Imagine if Dennis had a chance to be on Dream Team at Olympic or FIBA...
Plus there’s goal tending he’s gonna grab every shot and throw outlets
lol he woulda terrorized those Krauts, Croats and Spaniards lol
@@brianlacroix822 that includes the Serbs and the Soviets if the USSR wasn't dissolved 😂
@@RedWarrior081 he woulda double terrorized those ones, they're homophobic af! 😂😂😂

Thon Maker: prepare to meet your MAKER

The original “you mad bro” lol Rodman was getting to him
Such fun to watch those days, the psysicality battling under the basket.. How I miss that..
Didn't he also do the "Brickowski stare down" against the Heat? I remember Mourning being pissed about it and Ike Austin kinda laughing at him
Young Mourning got everything but a champion mentality.
Look at Steve Kerr. The original inspiration.
The only reason why Dennis used to go after Mourning a lot was because, Mourning was a star. Dennis was known for going after elite players to throw them off.
Rodman could bang with any big man in the league at that time best defender ever
the master...always loved Rodman getting under Zo's skin lmmfao rotf!
90s nba was the best
Rodman was crazy fr and didn't care
This was back when men actually had testosterone.
I Love This Game!
Today that is already a technical
Ejection in today's NBA. Lol
Hahaha
When it came to mind games Dennis Rodman owned Alonzo Mourning & Frank Brickowski.
90s got hit in the mouth , Laughs.
2022 got touched flop like a fish like a truck hits you.
HE’S A FLOPPER
Rodman complimented Zo's rear end and got him flustered.
The worm once he get you you're done!!!
1:16 Tend forget how mad athletic Dennis is with this version known to be always partying and all yet still had the batteries to go through practices and play full minutes.
Best athlete ever I think randy moss is up there too
The bulls absolutely owned every team in the East for like 6 years or longer
In the east?! In the association**

Real predators contribute offensively.
When the teams he was on weren't quite ready for prime time, Rodman quit on them.
@@spitshinetommy3721 rodman toward the end of his career with refusing to shoot was awful. but he was still the best rebounder and a lock down defender.

Dennis rodman is sick
I love being psychotic defender like Dennis Rodman

Yea that clip is in one of my Rodman videos but I forget which one but type in “Rodman slap dat ass” it’s a quick clip but it’s in there too
No flopping, no whining, defense...
The Association vs LeAssociation
If anybody ever deserved that kind of treatment, it's Alonzo Mourning
Modern NBA will make this Prime Rodman suspended in the first 5 game of the season. ROFL
Turned his back on'em lol knew the shot was dropping
He smacked his booty 😂
Monster Rodman
Always thought Rodman was the dirty one, ya see the elbows Zo was hitting Rodman with in the beginning 15 seconds?
Único el gusano
well, one of them HAS a mind.
I'll let you decide which one.
There were no mind games.
Just fouls…
It's easy to play "mind games" when you score 3-5 ppg.
Its not all about scoring man Dennis would dominate the boards and lock down on defense
Many many rebounds Dennis knew where the ball was going to go. He said that he had someone shoot from every possible angle and then study it. Only Dennis could think of a way like this, basketball IQ 1000 level shit
Rodman could score whenever he wants but he is a smart player so he always goes for the rebound or the pass to the open guys, and it is not all about PPG or PCT. if you have highs in that but your team still loses in games and playoffs, you are nothing.
20 rebounds
You’re a casual
👍👍👍💪💪💪👏👏👏😂😎
People don't know how BAD Ron Harper was
he was so bad that he had 4 rings in his fingers let me ask you how many jewels you had? 😄
Very fanny rodman is showman..ja ja
Rodman is the ultimate pest
I really didn’t care for Rodman at all. In my opinion wasn’t that great. Always starting something
Look at the Defense during these times holy shit and people really thinking lebron can play in 90s era? Man flops when a butterfly hits him
He could lol
Lebron would run them over, you say this and that, but you forget Lebron played at the tail end of defense like this, Lebron was getting bullied too but he running dudes over when he got bigger, i can only imagine what Lebron would be like if he could actually use his strength and not get held back with the rules of today.
Under these rules. He would be load managing every other game. Its too bad that he endorses flopping as the face of the NBA
Imagine rodman gaurding lebron would.be pure entertainment
no it wouldn't lebron would flop and stay on the ground for 3 minutes and pat his eye and milk it and rodman would be out by half time
@@brianlacroix822😂😂😂😂😂 but 12 rebounds
