@@abrahamhawkins1754 True and false at the same time. Today, there are versatile defenders who could defend every facet and positions during the same game. But now, it's even harder to defend due to two facets : 1) the pick and roll is the bread and butter of the game. Back then? Not used as much as today. 1.1 On almost every play, bigs are switching on guards. 2) it was easier to defend back then. You were allowed to use your forearm to slow down the ball carrier. 2.1 Today, you have to use mainly your legs since the league hindered hand checking [even if the NBA made multiple rules since 1978 to ban hand checking] But, Rodman could transition pretty well today because his motor was off the chart. Which means, he could guard excessively well today. You need a lot of energy to be an elite defender today. And before you may ask. I was born in 1970 and played College ball during the 1990s!
I was in last year of primary school when my teacher told my dad that she doubts that I will make it through mid school. Today I face my last semester in master class of chemical engineering at university. Every morning I see myself in the mirror and think I made it. I proofed everybody wrong. Everybody that doubts me. I did it all by power of will. By effort. That is why Dennis Rodman is my role Model . He wasn’t supposed to be a nba superstar but he is an all time great. He did it all. Thank you for everything. Maybe nobody will read it but it means everything to me... PS: sorry for bad english, i’m not a native speaker.
This guy has alot of haters but he deserves respect. He dives for the ball even if he gets hurt badly, his love for basketball is truly something to look up to
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C and maaan soccer is slowly dying, I’m European and here the soccer is the most popular sport but even their fans are saying it. So...
That whole era had Passion. From Rodman, To Starks with the Knicks, To Miller with Pacers, To ALonzo and Hardaway In Miami. This era was about winning. And winning against your rivals ment anything.
Bulls fans need to give Rodman the same love we fans in Detroit give him..... You Bulls fans have always underappreciated how great this man was..... you ask a 6'8 man to guard all 5 positions on the court, let MJ and Pippen score all the shots and make Rodman get you 20 rebounds a game, which lucky for you, he ENJOYS doing... if not for that, you don't ever get Chicago's 2nd 3 peat........ James Worthy from the 80s Lakers, who this bulls team couldn't beat back in the 80s, has stated Rodman is the greatest athlete that EVER defended him...... You people have no idea how hard it is to be a rebounding champ year after year at his height...... Yet I never read comments or see love about how great Rodman was for your bulls in a watered down 90s era....it's always mJ, mJ, mJ.... Thank Rodman too.....that's all I'm saying....
Same as DaBears34 said, the 90s Bulls is my favorite team because of the triple threat of Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman. Out of the whole league, 95 - 98 Rodman is my favorite player of all time
7 years straight leading the league in Rebounds, a guy that was billed in as being 6'10" but Jordan says he was more like 6'8" or maybe 6'9", but he impacted the game like a Big man. One of the Greatest #TooMuchHeart #WhatsMissingInTheNBAToday #HEART
+Bald Headed Mudaphukka +Bald Headed Mudaphukka Not at all, just that Chamberlain averaged over 20 rpg whereas Rodman averaged bout 12-13rpg. There's no comparison and Chamberlain dropped over 30ppg while doing it
@@rhanson2356 I doubt they're beating Orlando or NY without someone down low yo defend shaq and ewing. After Horace left they were void at the 4 and 5. Rodman saved them from a major fall off. Especially considering Jordan came back and had lost a step athletically. Just a small step, but it was enough of a step that he wouldnt be able to carry that team without a solider to help him shoulder the load. Scottie could only do so much, and kukoc wasnt tough enough to be in the trenches. He was a finesse guy.
i was looking for Dennis Rodman mixes a lot, but this one....this one is great! Thank you very much!!! Defense is the key to this game. Only this man made rebounds, steals, blocks a main part of his game. this man created tough defense, earned the right to do whatever he wnted to. Every young man wants to be MJ-Kobe-Lebron. but nobody wants to be DENNIS and do the dirty job! He s the best! He won it all, became the DPOY, all-star and hall of fame even having two times less points than rebounds in his career!
I think its also because of how the game evolved. Today's game, you can't get dirty and play like Rodman played in terms of defense without getting crazy amount of calls on you for touching the other guy. Which sucks.
Rodman should be a legend in NBA history. No one played game like he did. Focus, determination, fearlessness.... the best defender. Angel of teammates, devil of rivals.
Dennis was a guy you loved if he was on your favorite team, hated if your team played against him, but you always had to respect the effort he played with.
Adjusted for pace, Dennis Rodman is the best rebounder in NBA history, by far. Add in his defence and he's probably the most valuable player that can't score consistently in NBA history.
Micheal Kelly The average height in the modern NBA is 6'6 as well. And 60s players don't inflate their heights like modern NBA players do. Dwight Howard is listed at 6'11 but around the same height as Bill Russell who is listed at 6'9. The 60s/70s have a lot of good players, Walt Bellamy, Nate Thurmond, Kareem Abdul Jabbar (7'2 multiple MVP who never averaged 20+rpg), Artis Gilmore, Willis Reed. Ray Felix 6-11 65 Chuck Share 6-11 Walter Dukes 7-0 Swede Halbrook 7-3 Walt Bellamy 6-11 Nate Thurmond 6-11 Reggie Harding 7-0 Mel Counts 7-0 Walt Wesley 6-11 Hank Finkel 7-0 Craig Spitzer 7-0 Craig Raymond 6-11 Otto Moore 6-11 Rich Niemann 7-0 Tom Boerwinkle 7-0 265 Dave Newmark 7-0 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 7-2 Greg Fillmore 7-1 240 George Johnson 6-11 245 Bob Lanier 6-11 250 Elmore Smith 7-0 250 Tom Payne 7-2 240 Vic Bartolome 7-0 230 Jim McDaniels 6-11 William Smith 7-0 George Johnson 6-11 (yes another G. Johnson) LaRue Martin 6-11. If height is really that important, Gheorge Mhuresan, Shawn Bradley and Manute Bol would have dominated on the glass. Ridiculous pace and less fouls called resulted in far more rebounding opportunities.
+Bobby Evans I'm with you. And it's not only hustle and "work attitude". For me it's mostly his passion for what he was doing that is so motivating. Not afraid of showing emotions may them be aggression, joy or whatever. He may be the person in sports history I found most entertaining to watch.
What I love about Rodman was while he was a physical player, he wasn't aggressive for the most part, he just showed signs of dedication and good hustle, to the point even when he got knocked down he'd get up and clap it off. He put his body on the line for the sake of the team.. Such an underrated player.
best rebounder ever, most passionate and player with biggest heart. one of very best defenders ever, probably only player that could have guarded not just any position, but any player in history. just few things why he is true legend. if guys like curry, harden would play in 90s, they would be murdered by players like rodman
god, I love his game ! what a passion, what a love for the game, that NO ONE has these days. Work hard, plays hard. Watching this clip over and over. True warrior, and a true CHAMPION !!
+werkannderwird there's those who would agree but he was mentally ill and depressed .He felt loved in Detroit. U notice it's in San-Antonio he loses his composure as much as he loved the Admiral David couldn't rein him in Jordan could but he's a lost soul who only wants exceptence
The real greatest of all time is over here. His play and his vibes are something that we will never see again in anyone else. That’s the one that we are to look up to, cs his passion to basketball, his will to win, his confidence in any situation, that’s the huge inspiration not only for players, as for me it makes me feel more confident and ambitious just seeing him playing. I LOVE HIM! Favorite NBA player of all time!!
the problem is you could use heart for jordan, pippen, iverson, wade etc. wild is unique to dennis and better describes his style of play and this video overall.
5x NBA Champion. Greatest rebounder of all time. I don't think he was just a Hall of Famer, I think he is one of the top 10 greatest players in league history right next to MJ, Bird, Magic, Kobe, Lebron, and so on.... His skill set was unique, his heart unmatched and his intelligence of the game was advanced. He wasn't the biggest guy, he wasn't fancy with the ball, he was a straight to the point type of player. His work ethic was crazy, dude was strong and knew how to use his whole body to beat anyone bigger than him. If I had to pick my top 5 starters of all time Dennis Rodman would be my Power Forward all day...
RobbieJComedyTv true that, I thought about wilt the other day. He was ahead of his time, he was a big strong guy who was also gracefull and he could jump high as hell for a guy his size. Yeah he"s the greatest but rodman was at least to his credit a better free throw shooter hey..
+TheyCallMe Viz Dennis Rodman is not the Greatest Rebounder of All Time! That my friend would go to either Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlin who both averaged over 22 boards a game and have a final count of over 20 boards for their careers! Rodman as great as he was does not come close to either Russell or Wilt! Rodman maybe on the Greatest Rebounders of All Time and on that list he would barely make top 5! I said barely but he is one of the Top 5 Rebounders of All Time!
+vincespell while I do agree that wilt is the greatest rebounder ever, I think that Dennis is better than Russell rebounding wise. Dennis was a great rebounder despite being only 6'7, and although Russell wasn't much taller at 6'9, he played back when there weren't many bigs. Also, Russell grabbed more boards because everyone played run and gun back then, so more shots were taken
Dennis Rodman: The Greatest Hustler whoever played in the NBA. Without a doubt, he left all out on the court. To hell with what people thought about him and what he did when he played. If he was playing now he would make these tight pants boys look like absolute shit.
+DaVaughnte Johnson wilt chamberlain was not a good Basketball player at all. Back then, the shooters couldnt throw like today, so Wilt did it by size. I honestly believe Wilt wouldnt even be in the Top10 of current players. And probably not in the Top5 on his position.
ok lol but that's your opinion. I've watch pj for 2 seasons and he is willing to put his body on the line for any rebound and any charge. so yea I think it's pretty close lol.
You watched pj for "2" seasons. I stopped reading after that. PJ is good no question about that. In the future who knows maybe he'll come close to rodman caliber hustle. But now? No.
You know why Chicago loved him even though he came from the pistons Cuz he would go and could get lifetime injuries just stop the ball from getting in the basket , he play like there is two persons in him Dennis would celebrate and do all crazy stuff but in the court he’s a hero that what separate him from a lot of players Making MJ travel to Las Vegas to search for him only could tell you how important he was
sakuragi character’s base on rodman. that’s why sakuragi worn same jersey number 10 as rodman and also has a dyed hair. except the shooting ability and athleticism.
hanamichi sakuragi character in the anime slam dunk was apparently inspired by dennis rodman, even his jersey number, skin color and style were made the same
Rodman was simply ALL OVER THE GLASS, ALL OVER WHOEVER HE WAS GUARDING, HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND UNSELFISH, AND A PHENOMENALLY HARD WORKING AND POSITIVE TEAMMATE. You can't ask for much more than that.
Funny cause they’re probably my 2 favorite player ever. People dont see it but harden plays with a lot of heart, sacrificing his body as well but on the offensive end instead of the defensive end.
Dunkman827 I don't know how much time you put into those videos man... but they are great! Chronogically reliving a great player's carreer with good montage and music. Takes me right back into my youth... into the best era in NBA ever. Thank you!
The dude celebrates when he gets a fouled called on the other player. That is a winner. Even though I hated the Bulls growing up I always liked The Worm.
It saddens me to know the nba will never be this trash talking in your face physical game ever again. I really miss it. Kobe Bryant is the last of that generation of basketball.
Timothy Theodore Duncan is the beast that still eats, Chris Paul has been a constant first or second round exit artist fcuk him until he makes several deep playoff runs.
the reason I love Rodman so much especially pistons Rodman is because he played like he had nothing to lose because he was truly a man who had nothing to lose and it showed on the court
Paling rusuh, di buat buat mancing emosi lawan and he did it, gak ada doi NBA gak SERU. The best rebound. Penampilan yg paling di tunggu, kaya adiknya Michael Jordan. Tukang ngacak-ngacak
then again what did rodman got to lose?basically if it wasn't for the NBA he said he could have been doing drugs or even worse and on the flip side Harden has a pretty good life NBA superstar,hot wife,fame,money basically everything you need in life BTW I'm not defending Harden in just saying the obvious
marton Stanev When you get paid millions of dollars to be the superstar on a team, you need to give it your all. Having everything you could want outside of the sport you are paid to pay is not an obvious reason to play without intensity. It's not all about him, and his teammates have gotten pissed at him for his lack of effort on the defensive end.
+swaggyb3000 ......you basically are looking at mirror images with harden and rodman. rodman had the best offensive batman/robin combo in jordan/pippen, not to mention other capable scorers, on that side. he could basically camp on offense and crash the boards. harden has to carry all of the burden on offense. his supporting cast is quite literally trash, and especially last year when EVERYONE on the rockets got injured and they had like harden + d-leaguers playing they made the wcf. that is all on harden. rodman was an elite defender/rebounder/hustler. harden is an elite scorer, elite passer, great rebounder (for a guard), and let's not forget his steals per game numbers are always top 10 or top 5. for all the crap he gets about his defensive effort, let's not forget that rodman was pretty useless offensively except for rebounding/putbacks.
EdudLufetips Yes, but all I'm saying is Rodman played his heart out every time he was on the floor. If Harden gave more effort on the defensive end, and really worked to improve himself, he could get serious consideration for the best player in the game.
+Keith Reynolds dude drag queen doesn't mean you are gay although most of them are. Rodman is married with kids. He is just unique and different and wild.
Damn I miss proper east coast basketball. They didn't call no pussy touch fouls when the Bad Boys and the 90's Knicks were around and James Harden would be lying on his back every time he tried to fish for fouls.
He is one of my fav. Player of all time. He is the one who will do everything to secure the ball. He do the dirty work for the team. He passes he dunk he rebound he do the great defense. He always suicidal for the win. He is very dedicated. His life is defending the ball
Elgin Baylor was 6'5'' and averaged 19 rpg one season, also to go along with 35 ppg and 5 apg. But still, Dennis's numbers are insane, and in a more competitive era. Probably won't see another rebounder/defender as better as him.
Richard Tuon Dude would be an even match on rebounds for wilt chamberlain and he's 7 inches shorter. a rebounder like dennis rodman? The game will die out before that happens.
Thanks for the video. Im a basketball fan and he deserves ALOT more recognition. Not when he dies but now. He was a beast. Ive always rode with my Rockets but game recognize game
The defensive beast!! Hardest guy to play against in all NBA history. I challenge you to find another player who could defend all 5 positions aside from Scottie Pippen as that is obvious
itsStawny Thats because he is..... I will admit that he doesn't not give enough effort on defense consistently but when he tries he can lock people down.
+kevin reynold Fun fact is that Hanamichi is actually based of Dennis Rodman. Same number when Rodman was on the Pistons and Spurs, and they both like to headbutt people.
6’7 Dennis Rodman guarding 6’9 magic and 7’1 Shaq effectively. nobody in the history of this game will be that versatile of a defender.
Blocking kareen abdul jabbar also twice in one game

They don't make defenders like rodman anymore....
@@abrahamhawkins1754
True and false at the same time.
Today, there are versatile defenders who could defend every facet and positions during the same game.
But now, it's even harder to defend due to two facets :
1) the pick and roll is the bread and butter of the game. Back then? Not used as much as today.
1.1 On almost every play, bigs are switching on guards.
2) it was easier to defend back then. You were allowed to use your forearm to slow down the ball carrier.
2.1 Today, you have to use mainly your legs since the league hindered hand checking [even if the NBA made multiple rules since 1978 to ban hand checking]
But, Rodman could transition pretty well today because his motor was off the chart. Which means, he could guard excessively well today. You need a lot of energy to be an elite defender today.
And before you may ask. I was born in 1970 and played College ball during the 1990s!
when rodman sees a rebound opportunity:
*this* *will* *make* *a* *fine* *addition* *to* *my* *collection*
You made me chuckle sir

Favorite bulls player, most underrated player of all time, best rebounder ever.
IDK bout best rebounder , I can name u rebounders like him bill Russel, kareem , wilt , but thing is he was only 6,7.
King Chino They're all great but rodman was the better rebounder
Politely,What do you mean by that? He was never an underrated player, first time to hear that.
Him and Kukoc are very underrated
Adjusted for pace, Dennis Rodman is the best rebounder in NBA history, by far. Add in his defence and he's probably the most valuable player that can't score consistently in NBA history.
Moby Dick Which most role players do...
Thus the word "consistently"
to hell with pace, dude averaged almost 19 rebounds a game being a generous 6'7" lol
Micheal Kelly Yea, but many think that Wilt and Bill are better at rebounding.
+Albert because they were the most athletic players of their generation, plus being 7 foot in a league full of 6'5" players didnt hurt either lol

Everytime I need some motivation I look back at this video, Rodman u legend!
I get more motivated watching Rodman videos before a game than Jordan videos man.
I agree to that. Rodman is everywhere and he will not just physically dominate you he will kill you with his mind games
agree but you never know the mindset MJ had for the game.
+Bobby Evans I'm with you. And it's not only hustle and "work attitude". For me it's mostly his passion for what he was doing that is so motivating. Not afraid of showing emotions may them be aggression, joy or whatever. He may be the person in sports history I found most entertaining to watch.

That’s the one that we are to look up to, cs his passion to basketball, his will to win, his confidence in any situation, that’s the huge inspiration not only for players, as for me it makes me feel more confident and ambitious just seeing him playing. I LOVE HIM! Favorite NBA player of all time!!
True
Should be titled Dennis Rodman - Heart
the problem is you could use heart for jordan, pippen, iverson, wade etc. wild is unique to dennis and better describes his style of play and this video overall.
this is what Draymond Green thinks he is lmao
+therealamin exactly

5x NBA Champion. Greatest rebounder of all time. I don't think he was just a Hall of Famer, I think he is one of the top 10 greatest players in league history right next to MJ, Bird, Magic, Kobe, Lebron, and so on.... His skill set was unique, his heart unmatched and his intelligence of the game was advanced. He wasn't the biggest guy, he wasn't fancy with the ball, he was a straight to the point type of player. His work ethic was crazy, dude was strong and knew how to use his whole body to beat anyone bigger than him. If I had to pick my top 5 starters of all time Dennis Rodman would be my Power Forward all day...
+TheyCallMe Viz I agree with you, except for one thing: I think Wilt was the best rebounder of all time.
RobbieJComedyTv true that, I thought about wilt the other day. He was ahead of his time, he was a big strong guy who was also gracefull and he could jump high as hell for a guy his size. Yeah he"s the greatest but rodman was at least to his credit a better free throw shooter hey..
+TheyCallMe Viz yeah, wilt's like the 3rd best center of all time, behind 2. Kareem and 1. Russel
+TheyCallMe Viz Dennis Rodman is not the Greatest Rebounder of All Time! That my friend would go to either Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlin who both averaged over 22 boards a game and have a final count of over 20 boards for their careers! Rodman as great as he was does not come close to either Russell or Wilt! Rodman maybe on the Greatest Rebounders of All Time and on that list he would barely make top 5! I said barely but he is one of the Top 5 Rebounders of All Time!
+vincespell while I do agree that wilt is the greatest rebounder ever, I think that Dennis is better than Russell rebounding wise. Dennis was a great rebounder despite being only 6'7, and although Russell wasn't much taller at 6'9, he played back when there weren't many bigs. Also, Russell grabbed more boards because everyone played run and gun back then, so more shots were taken
I can tell you with 100% that this man stands alone in terms of defensive skills. It was just savagely supreme.
Dennis Rodman: The Greatest Hustler whoever played in the NBA. Without a doubt, he left all out on the court. To hell with what people thought about him and what he did when he played. If he was playing now he would make these tight pants boys look like absolute shit.
But the pants were tighter back then
Yes.true
Rodman could change a game with only rebounding
+DaVaughnte Johnson wilt chamberlain was not a good Basketball player at all.
Back then, the shooters couldnt throw like today, so Wilt did it by size.
I honestly believe Wilt wouldnt even be in the Top10 of current players.
And probably not in the Top5 on his position.
Jonas Keß no wilt would kill any one right now if u didn't he led the league in assist one year
You'll never see anyone go for the rebound and hustle like his life depended on it like this guy.
....pj tucker goes for rebounds just like this
torry rabb not even close.
ok lol but that's your opinion. I've watch pj for 2 seasons and he is willing to put his body on the line for any rebound and any charge. so yea I think it's pretty close lol.
You watched pj for "2" seasons. I stopped reading after that. PJ is good no question about that. In the future who knows maybe he'll come close to rodman caliber hustle. But now? No.
Joakim noah
Dennis Rodman is a beast in the paint!! And he's like a wrestler when defending. Props to you my man.
He was a wrestler, even made it in the NWO
Laryece Ridgeway wow really? I didnt know that. Thanks for the info. U da real mvp
No problem
Greatest rebounder of all time, put it all on the floor every single night
Will always be one of, if not, my favorite NBA players of all time
My second time watching this. Great video. Will never be another Rodman. One of the greatest players of all time. I had tears in my eyes at the end.
You know why Chicago loved him even though he came from the pistons
Cuz he would go and could get lifetime injuries just stop the ball from getting in the basket , he play like there is two persons in him
Dennis would celebrate and do all crazy stuff but in the court he’s a hero that what separate him from a lot of players
Making MJ travel to Las Vegas to search for him only could tell you how important he was
MJ in the Last dance said that he did not, but most likely he still did everything he could to get Rodman back.
I Can't think of 1 player in the NBA today that could match his skills and hustle.
Ron artes is the closest I have seen to of rodman style
Draymond Green
Dunga Na take this L
You probably mean defensive and rebounding skills?
+Abraham Lopez nah draymond green is kinda like rodman on D in a way... just fater and not as good on defense haha.
Rodman is the real life - Sakuragi of basketball no one will ever replace.
Just like me he's my idol and Nate Robinson 😂
sakuragi character’s base on rodman. that’s why sakuragi worn same jersey number 10 as rodman and also has a dyed hair. except the shooting ability and athleticism.
@@redosorio5278 Oh. I didnt know that. That's cool to know.
hanamichi sakuragi character in the anime slam dunk was apparently inspired by dennis rodman, even his jersey number, skin color and style were made the same
@@rivaldigusrianda5288 not his skin color tho lool Sakuragi is white with red hair
He started the tattoos and colored hair movement in the NBA
Allen Iverson was first
@@JoseManuel-dk2in not even close fam
@@JoseManuel-dk2in dude Rodman play before AI, AI enter to league in 1997 if I can remember and don't have any tattoo.
In fact i watched the games coz i know he will sport another hair colour lol
@@JoseManuel-dk2in Rodman was firts, Iverson maybe the second...
Favorite player all time. I was truly inspired. The tattoos, the muscle & toughness. I was always thin but never scared. Love you Worm😤
💪
Rodman was simply
ALL OVER THE GLASS,
ALL OVER WHOEVER HE WAS GUARDING,
HIGHLY EFFICIENT AND UNSELFISH, AND
A PHENOMENALLY HARD WORKING AND POSITIVE TEAMMATE.
You can't ask for much more than that.
He's like the anti-Harden.
Jack park it’s cause harden doesn’t play Defense...
Its because harden doesn't even try
@Jack park ANTI dumbass
Stfu
Funny cause they’re probably my 2 favorite player ever. People dont see it but harden plays with a lot of heart, sacrificing his body as well but on the offensive end instead of the defensive end.
Most intelligent player I ve ever seen. His mental and physical toughness is insane.
Dunkman827 I don't know how much time you put into those videos man... but they are great! Chronogically reliving a great player's carreer with good montage and music. Takes me right back into my youth... into the best era in NBA ever. Thank you!
The best defensive player of all time in Basketball history.
Rodman>Gobert
Treys4Days33 mayns watchu smoking
@@21cabbage97 I'm smoking fax
@Tha Cole
Rodman has managed Jordan, Pippen, Malone, Kemp, Shaq,...in their prime time. I would take Rodman any day, anytime, over any other defender.
You best believe it
One of the very rare that NBA had played. Wild in the court that truly love to play basketball. salute, you sir!!!
The dude celebrates when he gets a fouled called on the other player. That is a winner. Even though I hated the Bulls growing up I always liked The Worm.
The bulls are the best team but that's okay
Chuck Jones that’s probably why he hated them
It saddens me to know the nba will never be this trash talking in your face physical game ever again. I really miss it. Kobe Bryant is the last of that generation of basketball.
heyy what about kg paul peirce ray ray
Jorge Anta they wont be around much longer though
ZDninja i just noticed i name the big three of the celtics well was a big three
and that team was one of the most fun to watch from what I remember.
Timothy Theodore Duncan is the beast that still eats, Chris Paul has been a constant first or second round exit artist fcuk him until he makes several deep playoff runs.
91. That says it all. He is one of the reasons why bulls was the greatest team ever. Golden state would never stand a chance against this beast
They should change 'Give a 110 percent" to 'Give a Rodman.' Dude gave effort.
My favorite Basketball Palyer in 90's!
What's a palyer?
+Juani Coriat The guy with the bucket maybe??
+Miko Philo ???
+Juani Coriat The "payler" (pailer) (pail or bucket)....payler, guy that manages the pail.
+Miko Philo but its palyer, not payler...
You have to admit, Rodman was a different species.
Hate him or love him, this guy played with heart!
Who else is sad that they weren't alive to watch this 🙋🏻😞
😭😭😭😪
D_N_ BBALL 🙋
D_N_ BBALL good thing I was born in 92 ahah
Sonny players like rodman made that era so special.
D_N_ BBALL I got him in NBA like mobile
4:45 that intimidating look gets me every time lol
That's one motherfucker badass look you can ever see.
This is the best mix I have ever seen of any athlete.
Dennis Rodman is one of the greatest athlete we have seen on the basketball court and the best defensive player, hands down!
Impressed with how he could dunk the ball with right or left hand equally as well !!
Also his relentless energy !!
i need to have the mindset of Dennis Rodman!
Yuri Padua same
his mindset is the anger he keeps within himself.
Same! Ruthless!!!!!
the reason I love Rodman so much especially pistons Rodman is because he played like he had nothing to lose because he was truly a man who had nothing to lose and it showed on the court
Perfect teammate. Doesn't need to score, endless energy, lock down D. Amazing player.
The toughest player who played on the best teams in the greatest era of basketball. Thanks for the vid.
NBA's badest boy ever 😎
Paling rusuh, di buat buat mancing emosi lawan and he did it, gak ada doi NBA gak SERU. The best rebound. Penampilan yg paling di tunggu, kaya adiknya Michael Jordan. Tukang ngacak-ngacak
@@leagueofdraven3355 stupid
There will never be another Rodman, he is in a class of his own.
This guy made the hall of fame just by playing hard 100% of the time, but players like Harden cant be bothered to try 50% of the time on defense.
Facts
then again what did rodman got to lose?basically if it wasn't for the NBA he said he could have been doing drugs or even worse and on the flip side Harden has a pretty good life NBA superstar,hot wife,fame,money basically everything you need in life
BTW I'm not defending Harden in just saying the obvious
marton Stanev When you get paid millions of dollars to be the superstar on a team, you need to give it your all. Having everything you could want outside of the sport you are paid to pay is not an obvious reason to play without intensity. It's not all about him, and his teammates have gotten pissed at him for his lack of effort on the defensive end.
+swaggyb3000 ......you basically are looking at mirror images with harden and rodman. rodman had the best offensive batman/robin combo in jordan/pippen, not to mention other capable scorers, on that side. he could basically camp on offense and crash the boards.
harden has to carry all of the burden on offense. his supporting cast is quite literally trash, and especially last year when EVERYONE on the rockets got injured and they had like harden + d-leaguers playing they made the wcf. that is all on harden.
rodman was an elite defender/rebounder/hustler. harden is an elite scorer, elite passer, great rebounder (for a guard), and let's not forget his steals per game numbers are always top 10 or top 5. for all the crap he gets about his defensive effort, let's not forget that rodman was pretty useless offensively except for rebounding/putbacks.
EdudLufetips Yes, but all I'm saying is Rodman played his heart out every time he was on the floor. If Harden gave more effort on the defensive end, and really worked to improve himself, he could get serious consideration for the best player in the game.
Back when the sport used to be played by real men.
+cbx25 no he actually really was a drag queen look it up
+Keith Reynolds dude drag queen doesn't mean you are gay although most of them are. Rodman is married with kids. He is just unique and different and wild.
Back when sports weren't fixed, mark my words
Nowdays schoolkids basket ball going on with child rules
nikolaras93, what?
It's amazing to think this guy might win the noble peace prize.
He was awesome. All heart and hard work. All hail Rodman!
Dennis rodman lowkey one of the best players
LB Clips highkey
Gaming Prodigy yeah
There's nothing low-key about it. He is a GOAT.
Something about Rodman is so inspiring, true artist on the basketball court
Imagine today's players facing Rodman...
So you have choosen death.
They could not. Simple
Dennis would make them cry 😭😭
nobody in this era will rise when rodman is around not even lebron. i love lebron but man this Is rodman the nba giant detroyer...
LeBron would cry
What a era (Michael, Pip and Dennis), my favourite defensmen of all time, Go Bulls
This video is just simply art
Can’t believe there are people who said draymond is better than this dude
They dreaming
Stop making up stories, no one ever said that
@@maroumuomo actually, there is. smh
Phantom haha draymond ain’t even better than Ben Wallace.
WhoEver Said that they must be On something.
Maybe it sounds corny, but I watch this video to get me thru some days. Motivates ya. Rodman truely gave everything he had on the court. Respect
Best player ever live and entertaining you never know what he's up to on the basketball court
i feel sorry for basketball fans who were not born yet during their time.basketball was more physical and intense
i feel like ive missed out a lot
It wasnt even HD back then, but you could feel the emotions jumping off the screen.
what is the name of this music? 9:10
Damn I miss proper east coast basketball. They didn't call no pussy touch fouls when the Bad Boys and the 90's Knicks were around and James Harden would be lying on his back every time he tried to fish for fouls.
He is one of my fav. Player of all time. He is the one who will do everything to secure the ball. He do the dirty work for the team. He passes he dunk he rebound he do the great defense.
He always suicidal for the win.
He is very dedicated.
His life is defending the ball
a real man with so much heart and emotion! respect
What if this guy teamed with Ben Wallace?
2 undersize beasts!
2 undersized defensive beast
It will be boring to watch same with him and shaq. Rodman and Malone or Hakeem wow
Throw Ron Artest on that team too just for fun.
The scores would be around 86-54
hell yea they would have rings
Love how he always pointed up to the crowd after every dunk ☝🏻
How does somebody that's 6'7 average 19 Rebs per game, like seriously who fucking does that shit? Rodman is the man
Rodman has 6'6 :)
Elgin Baylor was 6'5'' and averaged 19 rpg one season, also to go along with 35 ppg and 5 apg. But still, Dennis's numbers are insane, and in a more competitive era. Probably won't see another rebounder/defender as better as him.
Richard Tuon Dude would be an even match on rebounds for wilt chamberlain and he's 7 inches shorter. a rebounder like dennis rodman? The game will die out before that happens.
he had a reputation for missing layups on purpose so he could get his own rebound
Richard Tuon baylor,wilt,russel,oscar robertson were playing with 6 foot white gaurds know wonder dey got do much rebounds
Rodman was a crazy guy but also one of the greatest defensive players of all time
mvp5316 They're too soft because the league is too soft. You get a T for looking at a player now.
has anyone realized that this guys post has 23 likes and his profile pic is MJ!?!?!
I have eyes
I still consider him THE greatest defensive player of all time. If you understand the true importance of rebounds in a game then you'll know why.
Ur right...
Thanks for the video. Im a basketball fan and he deserves ALOT more recognition. Not when he dies but now. He was a beast. Ive always rode with my Rockets but game recognize game
Unbreakable Player Of All Tims💯🔥
The defensive beast!! Hardest guy to play against in all NBA history. I challenge you to find another player who could defend all 5 positions aside from Scottie Pippen as that is obvious
Not saying he's better, but Gary Payton was a lockdown defender
tony allen and kobe are the best defenders left
LeBron James....
Jake Morton you just say lebrons a good defender. AHHAHAHA
itsStawny Thats because he is..... I will admit that he doesn't not give enough effort on defense consistently but when he tries he can lock people down.
Great all around video and the soundtrack on point! Wish I could've been old enough to watch this legend play ball
Strong individual on and off the court. Favorite defensive player of all time🤘
"AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER IS HURT" 😂😂😂
He sold it better then lebron
They even brought a stretcher out for that pussy. He had $$ on his mind
bahahaha
The one and only. I feel blessed to have witnessed Greatness at its best. Thank you Rodman .
Best rodman video ever
the real version of hanamichi sakuragi
+kevin reynold اقسم بالله اقرأ الكومنت واحساسي احد كاتب هالكلام .. دايما فانز دراقون بول رهيبين
The what now? Wtf is that shit you're babbling about?
I was thinking the same thing! !! rebound king sakuragi!! tensai rodman!!
+kevin reynold Fun fact is that Hanamichi is actually based of Dennis Rodman. Same number when Rodman was on the Pistons and Spurs, and they both like to headbutt people.
Drifterking26 yeah most of slam dunk characters based by NBA players in 90's
Best Rodman mix in UA-cam! Congratulations!
Damn the intensity of those times - no wonder the hype!
a very special player in the NBA history. outstanding!
Old school! The best...I don’t see now somebody like this guy
