      What was so interesting about the Bulls bench was how they did not have anyone with very well balanced skills or talents. Nothing but extremes. They were at a very high level in what they did do well. They were like glass cannons. Kerr is a perfect example who was the best in the league at what he did. Randy Brown would build a brick shit house shooting, but he had lock down, shut down defense on any small guard. Those full court traps were lethal. He beat Shaq. That right Randy Brown was often the one who beat Shaq, because on full cort traps there was not enough time to set up deep in the post. Kukoc was offense in a bottle. If the rest of the team could compensate , or if the bench player created a horrible match up...

      I hated Rodman when he was on the Pistons . However there are different kinds of hate, one of which is the inverse of love. I would hate to be hungry looking through the window watching people eat pizza. When Rodman would get an offensive rebound after the Bulls would make a good defensive stop, it felt treading water holding cinder blocks. I remember where I was when I found out about the trade in a magazine. I thought, "So if Pip does not pass right and MJ misses a shot, they get to try it again?

      I can absolutely unequivocally say that they were the greatest defensive team ever. When Ron Harper decided to expend his energy on the defensive side of the ball, he was really tough. Obviously Jordan, pippen, and Rodman are all time greats as individual defenders, but the often overlooked detail was their IQ as team defenders. I think Stockton individually was the one player that created the most problems despite probably being on the least talented team the bulls had to play in a finals.

    That team was so ahead of it's time. Positionless basketball probably started with that team. You have 3 6'6 + wing players, a 6'8 power forward who can run the floor and a center who can hit from mid range and fill in the gaps. You could also sub out longley and play small with kukoc who could do it all score rebound pass shoot from deep. So much all around talent in that starting lineup and then off the bench you just had, like Dennis said, rock solid guys who would hit shots play good team defense and didn't care about stats. That team was very talented.

      kukoc, rodman, harper, jordan and pippen playing at the same time is an anomaly,. rodman is capable and strong enough to effectively guard centers/forwards from olajuwon to shaq to duncan and karl malone while also having the quickness to guard players like Jordan, Drexler,,.
      Kukoc was called EUROMAGIC because he was 6'11" who can play the pointguard position, while pippen, jordan and harper, who are basically the same size, are all capable of averaging more than 20pts a game while playing Elite defense be it lockdown or help defense,.
      imagine a taller, longer, more athletic and more defensive GSW with their death line up playing more in the perimeter. Thats what the Bulls are,.

He can pass, he can drive to the basket, he can pass and he can clutch aside from Jordan and Kerr. For whatever it's worth, i'm glad he played in NBA, so the world knows his name. Not that European league was bas or anything but in most countries (i live in Indonesia) the only foreign basketball they air was NBA and that's usually during playoffs which i had to watch during my school class cause it's broadcasted live during the day :D

      They wouldn't have to chase them around all night, because the Bulls had enough length, speed, quickness and agility to switch everything....you also forget that the Warriors would have to defend too......GS goes small, Bulls counter with Pippen, Jordan, Kukoc, Rodman, and Harper. They try to bring in Zsa Zsa, they counter with Luc Longley and Beuchler......they would make it very hard for them to score. And the X-Factor would be Jordan....also, I guess you don't know that the Bulls are running the Triangle, which GS runs a hybrid of.....both of which emphasizes spacing, movement, cuts, etc....

The Chicago Bulls were FAR FROM BEING AMONG THE MOST TALENTED TEAM IN THE 90'S. Just look at their roster and look at the teams they faced. It was really a team work + Michael Jordan's magic who CARRIED THOSE TEAMS. So, refreshing to hear a Rodman say it publicly. Thank you Dennis Rodman.

    That's what I always said when I listen to some dumb kids today who say Jordan "rested" then came back. I always say " you guys are the most dumb/brainwashed" kids that I have ever seen. Let Kobe "rest" for 3 years and then come back at 40 and see how he does. Jordan did so many things that seem completely inhuman but to me, his first come back is THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT that I've ever seen in ANY SPORTS. People today (brainwashed by the media industry to make money) don't understand. The guy LEFT THE GAME IN HIS FUCKING PRIME FOR GOD'S SAKE !
    I mean, it's a fucking movie scenario. Then he came back 2 years later IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ROSTER (outside of Pippen). By that time, the league HAD COMPLETELY CHANGED. There were new guys that dominated Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Shaquille O'neal, Olajuwon. Then the guy comes back in a different roster and he re-established himself as the HANDS DOWN BEST...AGAIN !?! Are you kidding me??? And you try to compare him to guys like Kobe, Lebron...come on man. Get the fuck out of here...
    It just drives me CRAZY how much people take that for granted nowadays. As Rodman says, nowadays, people don't understand. And the reason why is all that hype, all that marketing, all that brainwashing, all the media..."the next MJ" thing. Come on, just think about it. The guy was already the BEST/GREATEST player of all time when he retired in 93. HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GAIN AND EVERYTHING TO LOSE BY COMING BACK. There was no garantee that things would turn out so well. Yet, he did it and MADE IT LOOK SO FUCKING EASY to the point where some dumb people nowadays take it for granted. Well, I'm just glad I was there to witness it live and I knew... I was aware of what I was witnessing.

      so true. completely agree with what you said.
      and the proof of his potential rough road of comeback was on full display in 95. he wasnt fully in tune and the chemistry of the team wasnt there.
      from a more in depth technical stand point jordan has always been far and ahead of all these stars people hype up so much nowadays. 93 being his first year of decline in athleticism he has already mastered the game in every aspect, let alone how athletic he still was even when he is on a slight decline. but the efficiency he has developed over the years as a scorer was already there and that's why he made it look so effortless. and it takes tremendous intelligence/talent and work ethic to get there. none of these young stars has ever had a more spectacular 10+ straight years of being a dominant players on both end like the way jordan did it and these young dumbfucks are blaming to lack of talents back then hahaha. i gave up defending that on youtube long ago knowing that the dumbest are the loudest but it is their loss to not be able to appreciate how amazing jordan was as a bball player.

      @donjohnson8120 5 років тому

      Calm down Fev, Jordan did not destroyed the Knicks. The Knicks took the Bulls to 7 and 6 games during the first Bulls run. The reason the Knicks took the Rockets to 7 games is because the Knicks had Ewing to counter Olajuwon. Against Cartwright and Longley, Olajuwon would've gone off for 50-60 points easily.

    • @donjohnson8120
      @donjohnson8120 5 років тому +1

      Fev, you clearly do not understand how the Rockets played. Those guards and small forwards fed off of Olajuwon. If the opponent double team Olajuwon, he throws the ball back out to one of his many snipers. Cassell, Smith, Horry, Elie, and maybe Maxwell were superb shooters. Then the Rockets got Drexler a year later and the duo of Olajuwon and Drexler could easily match Jordan and Pippen.

      @kmarasin 6 років тому +11

      The difference between Pop and Phil is that Pop requires certain personalities in his team, while Phil just needed talented guys of any sort and he could generally get them to play together. Pop was successful because he got the guys he wanted, they were talented, and they stayed healthy and out of trouble basically forever. Swap Pop for someone like Rick Carlisle and his terrible luck with the Pistons and Pacers and you'd swap their legacies too.
      People used to say when comparing Phil to Red that Phil was luckier to have better teams. I think it's more indicative that he built at least three, arguably four, different team chemistries (91-93, 96-98, 00-02, 09-10) into champs, while Red had a single franchise with many of the same players in a decade long run of dominance, led by Bill Russell. Pop, with his North Star Tim Duncan, is more comparable to Red in that respect, he had more of the luck of being in the right place at the right time. It's harder to say that about Phil; he had great players, but no advantage of continuity.

    I agree with him for one reason: Defense
    In Rodman, Jordan, Pippen, and Harper, that might be the most athletic/best defensive team ever. Who's a better athlete than Jordan or Rodman, at their peak? Phil Jackson at coach? Best 3pt% shooter EVER in Steve Kerr?
    And if they need a basket, they always have Michael Jordan. And if he misses, who's getting the rebound?

    • @JoeSmith-iv3sf
      @JoeSmith-iv3sf 4 роки тому

      Harper is very over looked and underrated as not only a defender but a player. He gave up a lot to win on that team.
      With that said, I can't see any era of Basketball any set of rules that teams could beat them.
      Jordan, Pippen, Rodman. All 3 could give you DPOY quality defense. Jordan may be the best off ball or help defender I have ever seen. The amount of passes he swiped by reading other teams ball movement or knowing where the ball needed to go if ball handler was in trouble. Not mentioning the amount of blocks MJ would get coming to help particularly on big men.
      Here is the biggest difference also. All 3 of them could guard multiple positions. Ppl always think oh Chicago had shitty centers so playing Shaq each get 15 mins or so and 5 fouls.
      Well Jordan and Pippen could split time on a dominate scorer. Dennis could slide down a give a small forward fits and just have KUKOC play the 4 spot. So that also gives you wiggle room to split time, fouls, energy on guys that keep opponents rolling. If fouls weren't an issue MJ might switch with Harper and back end of games to put pressure on a certain guy etc. That team was a matchup night mare.

Don't ever lose sight how good and key Scottie Pippen was, he was only 2nd to Jordan in the NBA. And remember, Rodman on most nights gave the best team ever another 10 to 15 extra shots a game with his offensive and defensive rebounding. You will never beat them giving them that.
