Exactly - nothing he did was really for his personal gain or (stats) - people forget about how many times Jordan would miss a shot and Rodman get the rebound and kick it right back out and Jordan knocks it down the second time - I remember games when he would get 2 offensive rebounds on one possession and somebody finally hits the shot on the 3rd attempt - man you can't over look stuff like that - second chance points in big games - he does not get enough credit as well as Pippen - don't get me wrong, I am a huge Jordan fan - but saw what Rodman & Pippen brought to the table, night in and night out
One of the things that made Rodman such a freak athlete was the fact that he would party all night, be late/skip practice and have more determination and energy than anyone else once he stepped on the court
if you pay attention only to Rodman during the first clip in this highlight package, it just felt inevitable that he was going to tip in a winning basket dude sprints up the court and the Pacers just leave him wide open right under the basket b/c they know MJ is not going to give it to him for the game winner. That leaves him WIDE OPEN for the tip-in
96 Finals, game 3 or 4… Rodman grabs a rebound and instantly quarterbacks a long throw to Jordan who slams it. This was an amazing quick and huge play in a big game. Im not sure how that didnt make the list
this could have been a top 100 list and all Rodman's plays woulda looked the same...all hustle, all flying around crazy looking...but damn did he get it done
I must admit, I wasn't a Rodman fan back in the day...only because of his antics, but, watching videos of him now I can say my mind has changed. He was a specimen...a rebounding and defensive machine. He never quits on a play, like Lebron does.
Rodman will stop at nothing to get that rebound, he just wanted it more than the rest. He is truly one of the great rebounders of the game of Basketball.
I seem to remember he tipped the ball must have 15 times before it finally went in. (maybe only 10 times) but it seemed like forever. Think his opponents were caught napping on the court.
I am getting shivers, re-watching these plays, as I was fortunate enough to watch the very same plays on Live TV (at least) :) Dennis the Worm Rodman was... no, still IS... one of my favourite players, especially for his defense and energy he provided :) He was a great addition to the Chicago Bulls back then :)
pure heart and hustle on every play by Rodman, he also perfected the art of landing, I don't recall him ever getting hurt on any of those plays diving head first for a loose ball
@@rogercortez2982 yes with Horace Grant as a top 5 Power Forward in the game at the time, and Bill Cartwright a great center. By 96 when Jordan came back into the league, Shaq entered the league and the bulls wouldn’t have been able to match him, or Malone with the Jazz, if Rodman wasn’t there beating them to rebounds, blocking shots, and keeping them out to the paint so much.
@@jackpotjoey8828 Bingo! Horace was not the same PF after he left the Bulls, I think the pressure of wanting to prove himself led to many of his injuries. Bill Cartwright was a mentally savvy C with experience but kept getting thrown around by Shaq and other bigmen. Shaq was dominating the league since Jordan's first retirement but fine-tuned his prowess by '96 when Jordan came back. I miss those days, bro.
@@EXIx2 same! Shaq would’ve had his way if Rodman wasn’t there. The next big men on the bulls were Longly and Kukoc... we saw what shaq, Webber, Malone, Barkley, Kemp and all them could do to those 2.
I had a seat behind the basket at one of the Bulls/Pacers playoff games in Indy....was always a big fan of Rodman....all his effort...making rebounding seem cool.....and all the individuality; not worrying about being different......but my appreciation/admiration for the man grew during that playoff game; the amount of physicality he brought....he turned the game into a wrestling match....opponents had no choice but to try to match his level of toughness and energy...otherwise be embarrassed......all the while....with a smile on his face...entertaining the crowd; urging them on to hate him. ;)
Sorry my English; this Star- man, is very good, for You positive actitud. Always was from forward! Never was negative. Si My hero! Good plays, from México city!
Most younger people would look at this and say, "Huh?" Worm was the most important piece on the court. His sheer drive and hustle was enough to intimidate opponents and give the team the energy boost necessary to get the win. Far from a scorer but his defensive mindset more than made up for the lack of points.
lol @4:18 Rodman goes headfirst into the Heat bench causing pandemonium. HOF'er/'75 MVP/Buffalo Braves great/Heat assistant coach Bob McAdoo not only acts like nothing happened, but continues writing notes about who knows what. *checks McAdoo's notes* - "Rodman does not care." haha
Rodman didn’t care he was gonna go for it all the way every single time! That’s what made him such a joy to watch. I loved that he was different. And I prayed for him when he struggled. Amazing player and man.
Everytime I watch Rodman's game on UA-cam in all team where he played..We can't deny it that he really loves to play basketball on his own way he know .He has a passion and determination for every game .He will give his play for more than 100% I mean he will give his all the BEST as he can just to make his team to WIN! By doing his part as a player SAVING the ball by DIVIDING!!! it's not just a easy and simple what Rodman doing it's so insane plus Rebounding, Defense and giving a GOOD PASSING! it's a BIG key to make the team effectively to win. Well of course OFFENSE leave it to the AIRNESS MJ,Scottie & the rest of the teammates of Rodman the " WORM" is a LEGEND!!!!
Dennis was a great player. He had a unique skill and he maximized that to the full to help himself and NBA teams win championships. Glad is in the hall of fame.
Rodman was not only a great defender and rebounder he was an exceptional passer of the ball. He could get a rebound and almost quarter back like would pick out a player up court with a precision pass.
If you were born after 1980 I don't care how many videos you watch you don't truly understand how good Rodman was. You may also not understand that the Jordan lebron debate is not worth having.
Rodman is the type of player who does not have a lot of "spectacular" individual plays. His value was in consistency and doing the same, correct things every time down court. He once held Shaq to like zero points in a half in a playoff game. He was incredible.

People don’t understand despite his outrageous antics on and off the court, Dennis Rodman is one of the smartest player of all time.
that no look over head pass was pure IQ
MJ has said it many times and during the Last Dance. Rodman is one of the smartest ballers he has ever played with.
100% agree
Draymond on rebounding/defense not even close to Rodman.
and most importantly, he is a team-first player, always
Everything he did he smiled and celebrated at the moment!
What a joy to watch, so glad he made the Hall of Fame.
without question
First Worm ever to achieve this honor.

Thank you for including that over the head pass to Ron Harper. That was iconic.
Superb. Brilliant.
That was like Larry Bird pass
Rodman's defense was so good, he stopped North Korea from starting a war...
Funny but Fact
Nope Kim is going to bomb Biden

Greatest rebounder of all time and top 3 defender of all time imo.
Personal stats meant nothing by to this man. He sacrificed his body every night with the sole goal of winning the game.
This man has a BIG HEART! What a legend!
It's bigger than that, Carlos, It's large. My favorite player of all time
Rodman was a beast and made a lot of great plays in his career. Was fun to watch. Great video

Hell Yeah, '96 Bulls - greatest team ever & Dennis was a huge reason why!
His hustle and heart is unmatched.

He would average three technicals per game in today’s sissy game. I definitely prefer the old school tough guys ball game.
true
MJ would get more.
he would be on the bench because he provides 0 spacing
@@incognito-px3dz no he wouldn't hes a great defender abs rebounder
@@incognito-px3dz right and Ben Simmons does?
He is a true team player!

Rodman came to play every night! But you have to have the right Coach. Chuck Daly and Phil Jackson.

I love the idea that he's writing a note about literally what's happening at that second lol.
his sheer will to make a play and his willingness to give everything possible is unparalleled
Man what team in the NBA doesn't want this man on their team! Passion for the game
And Draymond Green want to compare his intensity with this dude. GTFO! Dr DRod is the GROAT!!!
I got to see this guy play once -- 1997 I think. or 1996. Anyway, he impressed the hell out of me. You can't capture this guy on a little screen.
3:55
Ball: I'm out.
Dennis: HELL NO!
It’s time to retire his Number Bulls organization
agreed...not like 91 is a highly sought after number :)

The first one should blow anyone away the fact that at the end of the second quarter he had 16 rebounds. I miss watching rodman play
dunkman still got it
best rodman content out there
what an absolute warrior this guy was.
ive heard a joke once saying that if rodman didnt play with pipen jordan and kerr, he would have more rebounds cus those guys just wont miss a shot.
lol well you definitely missed a lot of clankers Pippen threw up there then, that's for sure. Sometimes the guy couldn't hit a damn thing.
Dennis was a great player. He had a unique skill and he maximized that to the full to help himself and NBA teams win championships. Glad is in the hall of fame.
Just a complete stud. Heroic.
Those are the play that Dennis rodman does to make his team great the line from the last dance 4:05
man those plays give me goosebumps, no doubt was the NBA gold epoch
So full of passion.
Dennis Rodman's a Legend! Awesome player.
Sakuragi: So much tribute to this Legend.
A slam Dunk fan
@@ngabafranck237 Rodman was the reason why Sakuragi exist.
I loved this era. It was tough. I despise basketball now!
The character, Sakuragi, from Slam Dunk was definitely based off Rodman. What a bull.
This is the most unique top 10 plays of all time for a player..
Rodman is one of a kind. He is really smart on the field, he can anticipate the route, so he would move before the ball even thrown.
LEGEND!
Nice video bro.new supporter bro
The craziest Bull ever! Thank you Dennis!
ONE OF MY IDOLS
Rodman was not only a great defender and rebounder he was an exceptional passer of the ball. He could get a rebound and almost quarter back like would pick out a player up court with a precision pass.
"16 rebounds for Rodman"... If you look at the score, that was only the end of the first half.
Rodman "Everytime Kerr shoots, I will win the rebound"
brilliant
If you were born after 1980 I don't care how many videos you watch you don't truly understand how good Rodman was. You may also not understand that the Jordan lebron debate is not worth having.
Every team needs a Dennis Rodman !

The suit with the savage chest bump at :33 had me dying
The bulls had Batman, Superman & Rodman
His hustle is otherworldly... wow he really is built different
Rodman pushed Otis Thorpe, Joe Dumars and Michael Jordan out of the way to grab that rebound. Imagine If he was defensive end in the NFL.
Je suis d’accord avec toi, il est impressionant!
1996 NBA finals backdrop is my number 1 for me!
I love how he’s always diving on the opponents bench when trying to save the ball. They like here this dude comes flying in again… Everybody Move
We love u dennis..
You should put the rebounding hustle by Rodman under the basket against a game with Hornets .
Rodman was a beast. u just have to know how to push the right buttons...
Dennis Rodman in Soccer would be an incredible goal keeper.
Único!! Nadie nunca jamás como dennis.

Dennis Rodman may be the most underrated basketball player of all time. The dude had at least 1 MVP award that he should've gotten
Dennis Rodman the master of rebound!!
Best days of basketball and when I hear pippen, cements that.
Some players know how to score 50 points in the game. Rodman knows how to WIN the game! True BBall Legend!
no habia visto videos de Rodman...lo que es un volante central en el futbol....es Rodman para el basquetaball....luchaba cada balon...cada rebote
I don't care what he did off the court but on the court this man is the best rebounder I have ever seen.
When all of them below the ring waiting for a rebound and way taller than rodman but still rodman got the ball..what a legend
Ce mec était un tueur!
Want to see the 90’s basketball again.
Only player who celebrate when he block , score ,save or rebound
Only player who cry on a loss and cry on championship win ! ! LEGEND
Passion
I don't care what anyone says about this man. While he was on the court he was the baddest rebounder on the planet.
