    Rodman was underrated for his offense. Toni was underrated for what he had done for the bulls because of the great duo MJ & Pippen. Toni's passing skills were amazing. Both Rodman and Toni had very high basketball IQ. That team with these big 4 could have won at least one more championship. The Bulls were simply a power house of the greats. No teams in the NBA history were that dominant.

    The video is probably mainly shot after the game is decided, so the players are relaxed to some extent, and the members, especially MJ and Pip, are almost completely absent.
    The other team is also going out of their way to double-team Kukoc in front of the goal instead of putting a defender on Rodman, who has less of a scoring mindset. Kukoc is also a good passer, and Rodman knows this, so he passes the ball and scores when the pass comes in.
    I don't think the two are particularly close, but they may have been able to understand each other because they were different from each other in the Bulls and the NBA at the time.

    Whether you like them or not, the 90's Bulls were one of the best, if not the best team in history. They were much more than MJ and Pippen (that's why even the year after Jordan retired, they came within one game of the finals again). Their ball movement was as good as the 80's Celtics and Lakers. They made so few mistakes, I never checked the stats but I bet they were probably the team with the fewest turnovers. And of course, kudos to Phil Jackson and Tex Winter for creating the most unstoppable offensive system.
    They would probably go 82-0 in today's kindergarten NBA.

    era when players cared more about playing than paycheck, their image, social media or politics - and it is very obvious in the way they played
