    This is one of the greatest defensive performances of all-time. Dennis Rodman shut down Magic Johnson and singlehandedly stopped the Showtime Lakers' fastbreak game. He made it almost impossible for Magic to post up or penetrate.
    Even when Magic did score or assist with Rodman in the game, it was usually with a screen to get Rodman off of him, or off a fortunate rebound. He only scored once with Rodman on him on a post-up
    Rodman also guarded Kareem, Worthy, and Thompson at certain points during the game. Along with Magic, that's 4 number 1 Draft picks that he guarded in the same game. Dennis Rodman is the ONLY player in history that could consistently AND effectively guard all 5 positions for long periods of time.
    The craziest part is Dennis Rodman wasn't even in his prime during this NBA Finals - this was only his 2nd season and he was still a bench player.
