That's what I'll always remember. It was just hilarious. And every time he made it, people went wild. It's kind of funny because over his career he averaged a three pointer almost every other game and shot 23% for his career. I don't think people realize how often he shot them and he'd make one for every four or five he shot. That's not bad for a guy who is notorious for not being able to shoot the ball.
cause some players keep believing that Dennis had no Three-pointers up his sleeve, usually they just let him shoot it,. to watch him miss, but that's highly unlikely for them
Most people don't know, but Rodman was averaging nearly 30 ppg in college. Also basically every single 3 is a perfect splash. He could score if he wanted to.
I love that he doesn't do the "too cool for school" routine when he succeeds and is applauded (not just for shots but rebound moments etc), but instead openly shows how he genuinely enjoys the game and is proud for being an important asset to the team. Also, love Kukoc's reactions from the bench in the 1998 footage.
4:45 was always my favorite Rodman 3 pointer. He was way out, Scottie made a great pass to him, and I love the announcers "oh he gets another" and the crowd explodes and you see Dennis fist the air he was so pumped up. It being his birthday made it all that much better.
Dennis was only a 17% 3 point shooter with the Bulls but those that he made were some of the best memories of the 90s Bulls. Love the reaction of the crowd while the ball was in the air and the reaction of his teammates afterwards.
@@morpher728 "wasn't he a good scorer in college tho?" Great, great college player though Houston needed a center and took Akeem who was the best college center of his generation. Houston can never be faulted for their choice. Portland had the #2 pick also needing a center and took Sam Bowie. I will always thank Portland for passing on MJ. "Also why was his 3pt percentage so low if he looks capable of them" The numbers don't lie. His 3 point shooting was just ok though everyone remembers the Portland playoff game. He focused his time on improving his mid-range shooting and turn around jump shots. No one has ever been better. Keep in mind that the Bull's had John Paxson and then Steve Kerr to shoot threes when players sagged on MJ. Kerr is still the NBA's #1 all-time 3 point percentage leader.
Yup. He was actually a top scorer on his college team. When he got to the NBA, he realized he wouldn't have a long career as a scorer against NBA talent, so he decided to overspecialize on rebounding and barely even practiced his shot anymore. Turned out to be the right decision. (Source is his book. I'm paraphrasing from memory of course)
His form in these shots is actually good. He was never expected to score, his main attribute has always been his relentless energy, hustle play, defense and rebounding especially offensive rebounds. Of course his attitude, antics, off court life, drunken ways, and changing hairstyles always were key attributes too.
@@justinwarner1183 What the hell are you talking about? Dennis averaged less than 5 points a game for the Spurs in 93 and 7 points in 94. His highest average ever was 11.6 for Detroit in 87. You'd be 10x closer to his actual stats if you said he averaged 2.5 ppg.
Fun Fact: In the 72-10 season, Rodman hit 5 threes in 1 game on his birthday (20pts- 20+ reb game.) As a Chicago Bull, he would launch threes every birthday.
Dennis can score when he really wants to! As a Piston, he scored more but changed his position for defense, rebounds and assists. He was also a great passer.
@@randyh.7782 It was the best. The stats they gave us in half time & end of game was the reason why I passed maths. Cos they give you the percentage of like 3/5 or even 15/50 shots, and you're like boom. I know that answer in the school test LOL
In 91-92 he took 1.2 threes a game and was shooting 32%. Over his career he was 23% which is funny because he basically made 1/5 but if he made 2/5 he'd be regarded as a sharpshooter.
He tricked people into thinking he's a bad shooter that's why they barely guard him when he shoots. They don't expect him to shoot, let alone make the shot.
He was never required or asked to score especially when so great at the fundamentals rebounds etc…besides surrounded by great players, I secretly know that if required of him he’d be a good shooter/scorer 🤯. He knows how to shoot those good enough for it to go in hence arms up before it hits every time. Legend!
these are AI scripted animations, Rodman and Magic have zero field goals,one was a rebounder,one was an assister that's all, just like jordan has zero 3 point attempts and curry has zero 2 point attempts , these videos are AI generated
Rodman’s antics on/off the court tended to overshadow his game, but he IS a professional at the highest level of bball on the planet, and is very very very good.
I miss Dennis' playing days. rarely do you get a person so wildly entertaining. not only was he phenomenal at what he did on the court but he put on a show for the fans. some stars today think the world revolves around them. sure makes it hard to enjoy. I think the league will be 10x better when a certain someone hangs them up.
He was sharp in Detroit. When he came over to San Antonio, they asked him to focus on defense because Johnson, Robinson, and del Negro were key scorers but he hated San Antonio. The Bulls traded Will Perdue for Rodman and Rodman delivered.
He’s a career 23% shooter. He missed way more than he made. Highlight videos of anyone make you feel they’re better than they were. That includes even the best
Dennis actually had a really nice shooting form and nice touch, nice rotation. Most of the time he flung it up there and acted like he didn't care while doing so including free throws. He had a flare that would make you believe he didn't know how to shoot.
I knew someone who was involved with the Bulls organization back in the 90s and he told me Dennis used to shoot a lot of 3s in practice and that he could go on some insane streaks, like double digit streaks. He wasn't a terrible shooter, he just didn't shoot a lot because his main focus was defense and rebounding and obviously if you're out there shooting behind the 3 pt line, you aren't in position for an offensive rebound. That's why he often shot them when the Bulls were up big to give the crowd a thrill. Dude was a special player.
@@marioguti9887 Facts. In addition, many people don't remember Dennis averaged 25.7 points and 15.7 rebounds per game during his college career. He could score, but he knew his role in the NBA was to defend, rebound, and be an energy player. I saw Dennis play live at the United Center many times as a Bull during the regular season and playoffs (including Finals). I'd always laugh whenever he'd be aw-shucks after making a basket. They weren't luck! Finally, my father always pointed out his layups and how Dennis would make them more complicated than they needed, but he'd still make them.
@@AcousticOlli Shooting in practice or an empty gym is A LOT different from shooting during a game, he could shoot like Curry during practice but shoot like Shaq in game, not like he was there for shooting anyways lol.
He missed the 3 point shot that help give the title to the lakers. Bob Knight chewed him out badly for it. I’m sure it affected Rodman for the rest of his career. Because prior o that. Rodman would get you solid pints each game
I like that because Rodman is the primary Rebounder it’s him who takes the rebound and goes behind the arc and hit the 3. It’s not like somebody else is getting the offensive rebound and throwing it back to Rodman who is waiting behind the three-point line which we usually see these days.
Love watching early 2000 basketball and down just for the crowd. EVERYONE was into the game. Not one face staring at a screen or taking photos for the gram.
If you guys check on his piston days, he was a pretty good offensive force. With his athleticism and mobility, I remember he took quite some mid range as well. You can tell his form was great from these shots and I bet he made a lot of them during practice. If not, Phil and MJ wouldnt have let him shoot this many. He was getting old in his Bulls days and he knew his role well. So he put on full effort on dirty works. He apparently can do more than that
Those are all pure. I know that if we show every missed three we'd be here for days, but knowing about Dennis' work ethic, I bet he could play in today's game as a stretch four, make 1-2 threes per game and still lead the league in rebounds and defense. Honestly, his rebounding was more about chasing the ball than body checking opponents, and his later years after the Pistons he was not so handsy as a defender, more of a slide his feet and cut you off type.
He hit a few with decent defense being played. Truth is, these guys can do a lot of things that they don't show when the lights are on. C. Webb in the 90s donated a gym floor to the Brewster projects and was hitting half court shots facing and back to the basket effortlessly. Levels to the game.
Watching him do that was similar to watcing a 9-month-old suddenly sit on the bicycle and ride away into the sunset. You couldn't help but smile and be in awe.
I like how Dennis always steps back to try a 3 (should have tipped off the defense that he was going to shoot) instead of shooting a long 2, although he frustratingly stepped on the line or out of bounds a few times...
People, especially the younger crowd, need to understand that Dennis used to be hated in Chicago, he was part of the Bad Boys Pistons that gave us nightmares in the late 80s and for 3 years straight denied the Bulls a trip to the Finals. That he became such a beloved sports figure later in Chicago tells you what a hard worker and charismatic person he is.
@@mr8883 I see your point but there's a difference, LeBron was hated in Cleveland because he was their hometown kid when he was drafted #1 overall, well he's not from Cleveland, he's from Ohio but you get what I mean. He was seen as ditching his hometown fans and team when he couldn't deliver a championship when he promised them he would...yeah I know he has become a loved sports figure in Cleveland when he returned and they later won a championship. Funny thing is that LeBron was never a Cavs fan growing up, he loved the Bulls and especially Micheal Jordan who made life miserable for Cavs fans in the 80s and 90s, lol.
@@marioguti9887 Yeah LeBron just did what he finally wanted, he get to something for himself. Not for the fans. Not for the pay check. Not for anyone else. He chose Miami cos is his life. He realized he doesn't owe anyone anything, not even a promise he made. Lot of fans don't see that. But at the end, he did go back to Cavs & won it for them, so all those pricks that boo'd him in Miami over the years, should've all apologize. LOL And I think that's what Rodman did too. He only did what he wanted. Fk beef with Bulls. I wana win. I wana play with good pay. So he went
@@mr8883 well he got traded there. He embrace it, but it wasn't free agency or these days when a player says I'm only playing for 'list of 3 teams' and pouts til they get what they want.
6:15 I know he’s got more highlight time on UA-cam than any human alive but I wish I could see Jordan’s face as Worm took the shot, as the shot approached, and after it’s rips the net. …Worm with his hands in the air celebrating like a 15yo CYO player might just be my favorite sight in sports.
Love how a couple times he would throw his hands up in celebration before the ball even went in because of his intuition as an insane rebounder. He knew it would go in not because he’s a great shooter but because he was a great rebounder
The way he casually strolls to the outside almost every time is just amazing. Lol Noone even considers the fact that he's gonna shoot a 3 and neglects to guard him. Haha
His shots have great arc and perfect rotation, so his arm motion is on point. If his overall balance is better and take away the dribble to get ready, he could be a good stretch 4.

The shot at 3:06 is proof that Dennis Rodman knows where the ball will hit/bounce. Celebrates before it went in. Maybe he's the first to do it.
dude used to lead in score back in college, relatively small league NAIA tho, but 40+ ain't no joke
💯
When Dennis does these things was so memorable. It's like a huge war cry for the team to hype them all up.
Clearly a better shooter than Draymond Green.
Nope.
Aight let’s not get too ahead of our selves here.
Nah, Draymond shot 38% from the arc in 2016
Just that idk how he's continously declining
@@janseanhernane3191 shoulder injury
@@iamkailong yeah he is.
Watching him do that was similar to watcing a 9-month-old suddenly sit on the bicycle and ride away into the sunset. You couldn't help but smile and be in awe.
Look how happy he is! That's downright wholesome
90s forever and ever...best era of our lives!
I like how Dennis always steps back to try a 3 (should have tipped off the defense that he was going to shoot) instead of shooting a long 2, although he frustratingly stepped on the line or out of bounds a few times...
People, especially the younger crowd, need to understand that Dennis used to be hated in Chicago, he was part of the Bad Boys Pistons that gave us nightmares in the late 80s and for 3 years straight denied the Bulls a trip to the Finals. That he became such a beloved sports figure later in Chicago tells you what a hard worker and charismatic person he is.
Just like LeBron when he went to Miami. Cavs hated him. Lot of people actually. Not just cavs fans. Then he was loved again when he back to Cavs.
@@mr8883 I see your point but there's a difference, LeBron was hated in Cleveland because he was their hometown kid when he was drafted #1 overall, well he's not from Cleveland, he's from Ohio but you get what I mean. He was seen as ditching his hometown fans and team when he couldn't deliver a championship when he promised them he would...yeah I know he has become a loved sports figure in Cleveland when he returned and they later won a championship. Funny thing is that LeBron was never a Cavs fan growing up, he loved the Bulls and especially Micheal Jordan who made life miserable for Cavs fans in the 80s and 90s, lol.
@@marioguti9887 Yeah LeBron just did what he finally wanted, he get to something for himself. Not for the fans. Not for the pay check. Not for anyone else. He chose Miami cos is his life. He realized he doesn't owe anyone anything, not even a promise he made. Lot of fans don't see that. But at the end, he did go back to Cavs & won it for them, so all those pricks that boo'd him in Miami over the years, should've all apologize. LOL And I think that's what Rodman did too. He only did what he wanted. Fk beef with Bulls. I wana win. I wana play with good pay. So he went
@@mr8883 well he got traded there. He embrace it, but it wasn't free agency or these days when a player says I'm only playing for 'list of 3 teams' and pouts til they get what they want.
@George Jones I'm a 80s kid. So yeah I've seen games from 90s til now
6:15 I know he’s got more highlight time on UA-cam than any human alive but I wish I could see Jordan’s face as Worm took the shot, as the shot approached, and after it’s rips the net. …Worm with his hands in the air celebrating like a 15yo CYO player might just be my favorite sight in sports.
The goat! Dennis the worm rodman!💪💪
I don't know how I didn't come across this until now. I fail to understand how anyone could downvote this video.
And he's the first guy back on defense after every shot.
3:33 The Bulls are up 95-72 and The Worm is chucking up 3's and running down court before it goes in 💯
I have finally found the greatest video of all time
Nice to see something so rare, so many times in a row. Instant crowd pleaser.
Taco Dennis! Rodman had a good shooting touch as you can see he knew most of those were makes upon releasing them.
Love how a couple times he would throw his hands up in celebration before the ball even went in because of his intuition as an insane rebounder. He knew it would go in not because he’s a great shooter but because he was a great rebounder
Something with the white jersey that made Dennis do 3 pointers =))
the home crowd maybe lol
If Rodman was hittin 3's , you knew it was gonna be a real loooooong night.
Who said Sakuragi cannot shoot 3s? 🤣
Hajahaha
1of my fav. Nba players of alltime indeed.
When he scores...everyone in the stadium feel they who made it..
The way he casually strolls to the outside almost every time is just amazing. Lol Noone even considers the fact that he's gonna shoot a 3 and neglects to guard him. Haha
People forget Rodman hit 3’s and could drive with the Pistons in 80’s. Defense was his job with Bulls.
Welp things learned
- Rodman invented the step back three
- He invented the celebration before three
- he always swished the ball
He had plenty of a ability to score, but chose to focus his energy on offensive rebounds and playing defense instead.
He literally just chose not to.
His shots have great arc and perfect rotation, so his arm motion is on point. If his overall balance is better and take away the dribble to get ready, he could be a good stretch 4.
Fun fact Dennis made 65 3s in his time as a piston on 25.3% shooting
BOY I SCREAMED ON EVERY SHOT MADE!!! 🗣️WORM FOR THREEEEEE
日本バージョンの実況流してくれてありがとうございます❗🙇
デニスロッドマン大好き❗
Idk what it was about crowds in the 90s but it was just different. NBA games, nfl games, pro wrestling, Jerry springer show etc lol
i love Kukoc vibrating together
