Me too and I never came to class with my text books and it drove the teachers mad. They would always wonder how I pass my exam. I would read all of my texts books within the first 2months of the school year
@Kenzoemoneybags that's amazing dude, I was only able to do that in math. Those other subjects I probably could've been qualified to eat lunch at 10 a.m. and get out of school at 1:45 p.m. if you know what I mean
Sorry for asking, but were there any suspicions about using of PEDs? I mean, to have that stamina at 38, while partying with Madonna, it is simply... impossible. Or maybe he really was a freak of nature. But the great student of the game, too.
@@rafaelvega538 Yes. At age 38?! How...? There is only so much you can do woth your body. Look at Harden. Party animal, and it showed in his year 33. Though, Rodman had impecable work ethic.
@@andretarrobal1964 Yes, Wince is, indeed, freak of nature himself. I'm just thinking how Dennis used to party so much, and yet, to be in the great condition, on the highest level possible. Though, the other players had said that he worked out like nobody else at that time. I like Rodman, and co sider him the best rebounder ever, and he is the great champion. I just ask myself if what he did, on that level, is possible at that age. Though, in the last year, both Rodman and Pippen had injuries, and Rodman kinda declined.
Phil Jackson was right about Dennis. He took his athleticism and exercising seriously. Even after games, after running up and down on the court during those games, he was known not to rest and relax like other players but instead go immediately into the locker room and do some workouts on the stairmaster or treadmill.
He never did. The thing with media is that reporters will find any bullshit reports or rumors to ruin their career. Take Jordan's gambling for example. Like people are just hammering him with his gambling addiction, but who are they to decide how to run his life.
Dennis was arguably the MVP of the Bulls' second threepeat. He never slumped, guarded Shaq 1-on-1, and as this shows, nobody could slack off around him.
Nah...Most wont remember old veteran Rodman was a problematic, undiscipline player when Bulls hired him...Rodman missed 18 games during 1995-1996 season while MJ played all 82 games, won scorin title, won Allstar MVP, lead Bulls to 72-10 record..Eon NBA Finals abd FMVP...Then Rodman missed 27 games of 1996-1997 season while MJ played all 82 games, won scorin title, leads Bulls to NBA Finals and won FMVP...And Finally Pipen missed 38 games of 1997-1998 season while MJ played all 82 games, won scorin title, Allstar MVP, Regular season MVP, NBA Finals and FMVP..Without MJ those Bulls teams would never achieve the last trepeat.
In a human sense he’s still very much in his physical prime which can last into an elder age but of course in basketball years he’s ready for retirement plans and aarp memberships 😂
That's incorrect. Nobody, even contractually, wanted to be around or associated with @DennisRodman based on his appearance and Rodman STILL stood by, protected, backed, provided, and wanted to do anything for his teammates including @MichaelJordan who told the owner and coach that @DennisRodman was not allowed to ever speak to him is fascinating.
@@jimmy2tymes0071 Actually, I would only put Moses Malone at the same tier with Rodman rebounding-wise. Why? The pace of the game was much faster when Wilt and Bill played. A lot of misses, too. Also, Dennis had to fight with some of the best centers all-time for these rebounds. And yes, it is known that Rodman studied how certain players shoot, how the ball rotate, so he could anticipate where the ball is gonna go after they miss. It is something that Jokić does naturally, but Rodman took that concept to the next level. Also, most people tend to forget that after defensive rebound Rodman was very good at passing to the leaking players in fastbrake. A lot of easy points. I'm not saying Rodman is certainly the best rebounder of all time, but to get 15 rebounds per game for the whole season in a slow-paced game, to have two 11 offensive boards in the Finals, and to successfully guard (em, just slow down, realky, but still) some of the best players 1-5: Magic, MJ, Bird, Malone and Barkley, Shaq... That really says something about how important The Worm was for the Bulls' second three-peat. And yes - Rodman should've won Finals MVP in 1996 against Supersonics. Their coach daid that himself.
His physical endurance was amazing, he's the first athlete to have the treadmill in the aisles in the arenas, he would get on the treadmill during a game when he felt himself getting stiff.
Michael is the embodiment of just dedication and HARD work to get to the level of skill and athleticism he was at. And also to become a leader of that caliber where Phil would say something as coach, but the players listened to Michael. Dennis must be the polar opposite of that, raw talent and skill, unbelievable strength and power purely based off of his FREAK genetics that made him elite compared to everyone else. And even coming from Michael to say that regardless of Dennis’ actions he was ALWAYS on point says a lot about Dennis as a player on that team and that Michael saw and knew what they had in him.
How can he not? All Dennis did was dominate the boards game in, game out. Easily among the greatest defensive players of all time. He never tired, he would outwork everyone!
Rodman's fitness level was always off the charts. He and Ric Flair remind me of each other. Party all night, still get on the cardio machine for an hour with no issue and have a resting of 40
Dennis Rodman has to be the greatest teammate ever. Every team Dennis was on his teammates has stories like this. He didn’t give two fcks he did what he wanted to do. But when he stepped on that court it was all business.
I know a person like this. no matter what. just always in shape 4 anything. they can party all nite. then run laps around every body on the court. the next day. I b like well. Damn. they straight up beasts
Firmly believed Dennis rodman was main reason bulls got to 3 peat again definitely reason why pistons won 2 championships no doubt one of greatest defensive players in NBA history
People use to say that Dennis was just clowning but the attitude he had on the court is who he was off the court . I met him back in the day in Dallas at a club when he played for the Spurs.
Chuck Daly the head coach of the pistons said Dennis was the most popular guy in the team in his second season. Dennis would get on the stair climber or elliptical qfter thebgame for half and hour. He was and is quite eccentric but he has serious work ethic and he was a phenomenal athlete.
I never heard he had a great vertical leap, and in fact, he took most of his rebounds below the rim (using superior positioning and anticipation for where the rebound would go).
Years ago, my old basketball coaches “Doc” Thornton & coach Bratcher (Carver High School, Memphis, Tennessee) called that the Soultrain Line!!! They ran the $#!+ out of us with that one!!! I’m thankful for all they taught me and truly miss them!!! Good men!!!
A lot of people don’t understand what it takes to get rebounds, especially consistently. While also still playing good defense. There is a lot of hustle involved. PF, C gang. The biggest men on the court have to run the farthest, quicker than everyone else. 💯
I loved it when we got worm 🪱 the Pistons didn’t care abt him we took care of Dennis he speaks more abt his bulls years than Detroit bc they left him in a parking lot w a loaded shotgun #Rodmanforever
let someone who from Detroit explain.. chuck daily.. left the team once chuck left.. Dennis had no father figure, his ex wife took his little girl away from him. that's the reason he was in the parking lot... nothing to do with the Detroit pistons organization. What Dennis like to do off the court... totally out of the hands of the team! you should just delete this whole.. made up bull crap!! Detroit made DENNIS RODMAN!!! GAVE HIM HIS CHANCE 👋 🤧 ❤️

I met him once in Hollywood beach Florida at a little eatery on the beach if he wasn't so tall, he would have been just a regular dude . Real nice, very respectful.
Come game time, Dennis was always ready mentality. Even if he was hung over or partied the night before, he always found a way to be ready and prepared come playoff time.
For Mj to say you were “always” on point means a lottt.
Not really. He sucking up too much to him. everyone scared to confront Dennis
Well besides all the mess off the court He still was a hard worker on the court that led to Future Hall Of Fame Status.
@@Lolapalooza-ug9jvDennis was scared of Michael

Hahahahahaa
@@earlrainey9088 you took this too seriously and literally
And as the game went on he would get more energy he has monstorvenergy

Superman Batman and Rodman
Well yeah. It was genius pairing the greatest rebounder of all time with the biggest ball hog of all time.

He respects his work and he was already a champ before he got that. Scottie wouldn’t have shit without MJ that’s the difference
Rodman rode NO ONE coattails
Dennis showed coach and the rest of the team, he was always in shape.
For all of Rodman’s eccentric ways he was a consummate professional. He was a very gifted athlete and very intelligent.
And he doesn't get nearly enough credit for that.
its a hall of fame..
@@deakon071
I recall he got permission to take the vacation.
@@AndyWrasman He sure did. Phil Jackson approved it if I remember right.

Exactly.
Agreed
