    Rodman could not be controlled by David Robinson or John Lucas in San Antonio. It would take players with the presence of a Michael Jordan or Isiah Thomas or a coach with the authority such as Chuck Daley or Phil Jackson to keep Rodman focused. Even Shaq and Kobe with Kurt Rambis as head coach could not keep Rodman on track. I have a feeling that if Phil Jackson had started with the Lakers in the '98-'99 season, he would have been able to keep Rodman mentally and emotionally focused for them to win the championship. They certainly had the talent with a Shaq who was still peaking, Kobe who was starting at that point and some veterans.

    Lol, it's hard to see Rodman on the other end of the infamous Pistons genius mind game wizardry.
    Rodman was clearly still the student as Bill got in his head and stayed there even till the bitter end by congratulating him to his face for getting ejected.

Dennis will you his all when you show that you want him and back him. Leadership comes in all different types of ways. I'm from the chi and I seen this dude bust his ass, why because he had the support and the fans. So again three championships from this dude giving his all. I was pissed when he got suspended for kicking a photographer for many games or getting toss. But when he plays he flat hustle and play. Tim Duncan gets so much love because he is a team player, Robinson was all about himself. Pistons won championships with Rodman. Regardless all the talk, Jordan love this dude, Pip got over the hate for Rodman and trust him. Numbers don't lie and when teams are in sync it's no stopping them.
