Nobody prevented him of getting thrown out 20 s from the end of the game. They prevented him of getting a tech an a free point to their opponent when they lead the game by only two
What Rodman did more than anything is induce a sort of chaos and panic which caused opponents to make bad decisions on offense. There's no stat for that.
+ztoxtube What we see here though is mainly a case of Rodman understanding weaknesses in Shaq's game (Rodman obsessively watched tape of other players looking for weaknesses to exploit) and also a case of Rodman being freakishly strong. 100% he knew Shaq's offensive game was predicated on continuously backing his man down until he could get close to the basket to shoot a short hook. Rodman made a concerted effort to keep Shaq away from getting into his relatively small comfort zone near the basket. Rodman was giving total resistance in terms of strength most times O'Neal tried so much as to back him down one step - and he forced Shaq to attempt to back him down further away from the basket than where most other defenders would usually allow O'Neal to start doing his back-down routine.
I remember one game Rodman touched shaq on the ass & shaq went crazy! Lmao,I was a shorty rolling at that shit. Goes to show you how accurate your statement is.
Agreed. Same thing with Dikembe Mutumbo and his famous finger wagging after blocking opponents(which he even continued to do even AFTER being asked to stop by then- NBA Commissioner David Stern). It was a different time.
@@codingsource7309 yeah he kinda ruined the NBA for us fans but he made it better for him why? He banned hand check so players could move freely and it means HIGHLIGHTS also the 3 second rule which also prevents big man camping inder the rim waiting for the opponent to come there which also leads to more highlights and HIGHLIGHTS means more viewers and more viewers means more MONEY SOO... I MEAN I LOVE HIGHLIGHTS BUT THE NBA IS NOT BALANCED ANYMORE

theydidntnameme I mean that’s the paint where contact is to be had. And he was just off-balance. Still incredibly dangerous though from a human standpoint lmao
Yeah, Rodman was superhuman, he was much stronger than he should be for someone in his height and weight class. After every game, he would do a full body workout, before going out to party with his friends.
Rodman is the best rebounder of all time. Edit: Please stop arguing about Wilt, Bill and Rodman. This argument is pointless, Rodman wears the crown as the best ever. It was earned in his pure unadulterated determination to win every rebound.
Rodman was a real student of the game of basketball. Whoever he defended his whole career be would lean on them, which is totally legal. He boxed guys out ultra effectively and over time would just wear them down and opponents would fatigue and make poor decisions. Since Rodman never focused on offense he was double focused on defense.
Isaiah Thomas said he would toss the ball at the rim with different spins at different spots on the floor for hours so he could recognize and anticipate the rebound
This game Made Me Love Rodman even more and appreciate him for what he was. He was truly a regulator on the court and Shaq could not bully him like he did so many others.
There is no player in the history of the NBA that was more enjoyable to watch than Dennis Rodman. Pure heart, hustle, and passion. What it's all about.
6:08 just watch Rodman, bro Shaq has his elbow all up in his throat & he still got that rebound. Plus scottie laughing as they fell down & MJ pissed af!1
Shaq relied on mismatches and bullying, when a real defender like Rodman played him he got shut down. Overrated ? Bill Russell would have destroyed him.
Barbar ben wallace destroyed shaq in multiple times and twice in playoffs when shaq is in lakers finals vs detroit. and detroit beat miami in playoffs. wallace man handled shaq
lol fuck youre talking about he destroyed players like barkley and dthe admiral, like it or not shaq was the most unstoppable player in the history of the nba with wilt
He was clearly afraid of Dennis. When guys were all over dennis he runs in to give a shove but he was a shrinky dink in the 2nd half with the worm all over him.
the difference between rodman and shaq is that, shaq is only using his large body to gain advantage over the others. while rodman is fckng brave and will not go down with out a fight, no matter who you are, he will fight you inside the court. shaq is only good because he's big. rodman is good because he's good.
Shaq is only good because he's big? You must have never seen him play. Shaq was arguably he most dominant PLAYER ever. With his size, he can run the floor, he had speed, the IQ, the moves, and the power. He was relentless on he offensive end and you had to double team him almost every time he had the ball. Again, Shaq was arguably the most dominant PLAYER of all time. The only problem was his FT shooting.
TH-cam User HE'S DOMINANT BECAUSE HE'S BIG. CENTERS AND POWERFORWARDS UNDERSTANDS THIS. do you play? even his coach uses it as an advantage. he's no more different than yao ming.
His Airness, The Worm & No Tippin' Pippen. If like me you got the pleasure to see these guys then we need to realise how lucky we were to witness history in the making.
A lot of Shaq fans are whining that the Bulls were doubling and tripling Shaq in the 2nd half, so Rodman didn't really shut him down. The only reason the doubles and triples were effective in the first place is because Rodman prevented Shaq from getting deep position and made him take way too long to post up. You'll notice on the first 2 plays that Shaq scored on Wennington, Jordan tried doubling on Shaq, but with Wennington on him, Shaq had an easy time getting deep position, backing him down and taking a quick shot before the doubles could do anything. Even with the help defense, it's accurate to say Rodman was the main reason Shaq got shut down because his initial defense was the only reason the doubles and triples had enough time to make Shaq a passer. If it was Wennington guarding him the whole second half, Shaq would have kept backing him down before the double teams could do anything.
Yes, Lebron has spent most of his career lowering his shoulder and bulling his way forward. And either getting a blocking foul or getting to the side of the defender and using his hip to create room. He counts on quick players being afraid to take charges because of how big he is. And big slow players can't cut him off in time. But Rodman had the quickness to make life a nightmare for Lebron, and he was fearless enough to take the hits.
@ 2:33, Rodman holds Shaq's left arm the entire time during the ball being passed to him. In today standard, the NBA players of today would cry nonstop to the referees and to the media. I missed NBA from the 90's. I think it's the best. I'm a little biased because it was my era and growing up watch Michael Jordan is pure awesome.
agree i recently watched that 3v3 street basketball world championship and was amazed that they let them play it like in the old days like man used to play. I love this old stile wish basketball was more of mans game today as well.
Tyrone Kuleman Damn dude! I just enjoyed the NBA in the 90's and you're the one that mentioned about being "glorified", etc. Now you even go so far that there are something "special" happening right now. The hell? Who's glorify now huh? LOL! I'm not making fun of you or anything but you sounded more into the NBA now days than I was being in the 90's dude.
You mean made you interest in watch the NBA in the 80s. The NBA wasn't watch by the world in the 80s, well a small world that is. Only Canada, and part of Western Europe could watch the NBA in the 80s. Other parts of the world can't, maybe because of political reason (China/Soviet/Cuba), poverty (many countries in Southeast Asia/Eastern Europe/South America/Africa) and basketball didn't really catch on (Japan/Korea/Hong Kong) until the 90's where those reasons might free up the interest in watch/play basketball. I came to the U.S in the late 80s and didn't know jack about basketball until I came here, so forget about the NBA. So the 90's open up lots of door to basketball in general and people know more about NBA started in this era. Is it because of MJ? Probably and this walking legend should always be part of the equation. He's that good.
tired of everyone saying rodman didnt play offense. his passing was on par with a point guard even at full court. and he had a brilliant basketball mind. between setting picks, filling lanes, and assisting 23, 33, 7 he was very involved in the offensive highlight reel that was da bulls
Dam, that really showed you how incredibly strong he actually was, he had shaq boxed out the paint, pure strength and smarts, I don't think anybody has dominated shaq like that....
all he did was grab him from behind while shaq was in mid air.. lol idiots.. shaq can't fight haha, he was too big to fight, mma history shows that guys over 265 pounds and over 6'3 are at a disadvantage, way too hard to defend take downs. even dennis rodman is too tall to be an elite ufc fighter at heavyweight.
Actually, rebounding is all about positioning. Quickness to get to a good position, and an innate talent of knowing where a ball is likely to bounce (given distance and direction of the shot) are more important than pure strength. When Shaq simply backed Rodman down, the Bulls doubled. No amount of quickness or positioning can overcome pure strength there.
@@maxthefoooool Agreed, these guys were the size of small forwards but had the strength of elite Center's...they were incredible athletes and were some of the toughest guys to ever play in the league.
Did anyone else hear the sideline reporter say "that stupid Rodman" when Rodman and Shaq were about to scuffle? Boy I would've paid to hear him say that to Rodman's face🤣
Rodman also kept him off the glass. So anyone stating the double & triple teams are the reason Shaq didn't score, how many offensive boards did he have? Any chances for garbage buckets? Nope.
Rodman was a freak of nature!!! People never realized how strong Rodman was for a B Ball player. Rodman was one in a few of NBA players who could bench press over 400lbs. That's what helped him to obtain his many rebounding titles over the course of his career. Shots out my boy Rodman...aka the Worm!!!
@Jethro Derp Its practically the same double edged dagger but its focused on offense. In the past it was defense but the downside is that the other has defense as well but now its offense the other team can offense as well get fouls its harder for defenders to do their thing plus there is an increase in 3 point shooting so everywhere in the court there is a threat. If it is about difficulty in era its about the same.
@Jethro Derp If players like LeBron James, Giannis, kevin durant and steph curry played they can dominate in that era. A 280 pounds athletic freak of nature who has a 38 vertical and DPOY and MVP lebron james played in that era he could still average what he is averaging.
Rodman was totally fearless he seemed to have extra fire hatred towards O neal. When asked why he hated Shaq he said I dont feel nothing off of him meaning no energy. Thats why Rodman could be so effective he was busy and made Shaq work and have to fight for position.
Don't you kids ever bring up trash draymond donkey green anywhere near Rodman's defensive prowess. Draymond is lucky he's playing in an era with 5 post up bigs. If he played in the 2000s and earlier he'd be giving up 60 and 30 on a daily.
@Joshua LeFranc Calling people "kiddo" when you literally just made this account only 10 months ago lol. Youre probably 16 or younger. Sit down child 😉.
@Joshua LeFranc "Just as good", I think not. Green is great defender, but primarily a team defender. He has lots of hustle, but nobody had more than Rodman, and he is nowhere hear as athletic. Rodman is better 1v1.
He is talking about that superstars made up Lakers team I think, with Magic Johson Lebron AD Kobe and Shaq, I think. Still Shaq should not talk since he started playing in 92-93 but only started to dominate and being recognized after MJ retired in 98. If he started playing in the 80's he would have 0 rings, like Charles Barkley, the man he is always making fun of for having no rings.
Wigiloco zambi Yeah but that’s the dumbest argument ever. You can’t take superstars from different eras that NEVER played together and say we could beat them. Smh
+JetLife 4 Life Idiot he's a Laker legend, Lakers broadcast team, Kcal 9 channel. Wow where have idiots been. In the U.S. there are multiple media outlets that cover games. This is clearly a Lakers broadcast. Chick Hearn even has a statue outside of Staples Center.
+Moon Man Walt Frazier is a KNICKS legend and knicks announcer and he doesn't call the knicks games from a biased point of view.. so being a laker legend isn't a pass for being a biased announcer.
+JetLife 4 Life I still don't think you're getting it. Chick Hearn isn't just a Laker Legend, he's a broadcasting legend. He was calling games way before Clyde was even in the league and didn't miss a game in over 36 years. The man came up with the term- Slam Dunk. Plus, I listen to Clyde call Knick games....he still thinks he's Nipsey Russell. That's your example? LOL Now, if you want to hear a biased announcer, check out Tommy Heinsohn call a Celts game.
@Quarantine Gragas no. They call him "the most dominant player ever" because they are skilled at marketing... and it seems to have worked on you. This isnt Orlando Shaq here. This is Lakers' Big Diesel... this was his sixth year in the league / 27 years old. He was 320 lbs and, besides shooting a higher FG% this season than later, the rest of his numbers are essentially identical to his three peat years. Rodman matched well against Shaq. That sort of thing happens. Happens with Lebron vs certain players, it happened with Kobe, it even happened with MJ. And fans of those guys will readily admit this. But there's something about Shaq fans: you guys have yourselves entirely convinced that "nobody can guard Shaq. NOBODY. He's THE most dominating...." bla bla Well, people could and did defend Shaq very well sometimes: and this video provides clear evidence.
I love the Lakers and the Bulls back then. I also enjoyed the bad boys of Detroit. It's the reason why I continue to watch basketball now. Rodman was the GOAT in defense in my book. I'll have him on 1st team Defense all day/ every day. Can't knock the man's hustle on Defense.
90s ball was the most physical. You definitely had to have been strong mentally. I just don't see LeBron being able to have his way against teams like the Bulls and especially not the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons. He's rattled too easily now in today's game and it would be even worse for him the amount of punishment they brought. He would be reduced to an average player at best even with his size. Charles Oakley and LeBron James...yeah that would definitely be interesting lol
Charles Williams i think youre vastly underrating him,now just for the record he isnt my favorite player bc i didnt grow up with him but he is one of the very elite group of people that can draw comparison with MJ,now he's still waayyy behind him but imagine one second he didnt lose those finals like MJ he would be on his level,so no he wouldn't be "an average at best" player in the 90's man he'd be a good/great player
9:40 "People say that 'Dennis Rodman this... Dennis Rodman that.' But they can't deny he's a h*** of a basketball player" Truer words were never spoken 💯
Rodman played him awesome in small stretches in the 1996 ECF also Rodman from 1989-1997 was DOMINANT on defense even gave Hakeem a little trouble in 1995 in small patches which at that time was near impossible to guard
6:34 Jordan just pulling Dennis, like a big brother. 6:16 Jordan actually had his hands on Rodman's throat to stop Rodman. Freak man, Jordan was tough on his teammate. Getting Rodman in line, protecting him from being thrown out.
Stupid announcer. Rodman should not take the bait under the circumstances, but consider that first he eats an elbow to the neck fighting for position--no complaint. Then he grabs the rebound, calls time; the ball is grabbed from him from behind??? No big issue yet, but he is getting hot. Then Scottie grabs him, but Shaq comes over and puts hands on him--for what? Does the announcer say "stupid Shaq?"
Angel Sanchez If you watched the video, you could clearly see that Rodman prevented Shaq from backing him down and gaining a deep position, which caused those turnovers, and made Shaq take jumpers.
David Grant I stopped watching basketball. There's too much flopping, too many babies crying about fouls, and not enough hart! There's no rivalries, everyone are buddy, buddies. The new NBA is a joke!
When Dennis was on he was awesome. I wish the CHI team stayed together this could’ve been an amazing finals come 99/2000. Oh well. Great time miss this NBA.
Technically, the character, "Goldust" was born Oct. 22, 1995 at an In Your House PPV vs. Marty Jennetty whever he made his WWF (at the time) debut. Whereas Dennis Rodman was born May 13, 1961. Dustin Reynolds (who plays Goldust) was born April 11, 1969. But either way. Dennis Rodman is older, Therefore was "BEFORE".
I remember this game. It’s cool to hear different commentators...I watched the TNT/TBS broadcast & went Jordan & Pippen went to calm Rodman they were laughing.
The most impressive thing about Rodman is that he covered Jordan or Pippen early in his career as well as Bird and Magic, He focused on his strength and began covering power forwards and centers.
I have seen Shaquille get away with more fouls than any player in my history he was not that talented just Big and this shit is Rigged, also he is a freemason 33rd degree I believe
I watched this game on tv when it was played. Rodman was kind of a love or hate guy. His antics were often quite frustrating to opponents, so if he wasn't on your team, chances are you didnt like him. But I was a huge Bulls fan. I was skeptical when they got him that his style and lack of scoring was what the bulls needed. But his energy was off the charts, and if there was a 50/50 ball in play, it always seemed like he came up with it. Nobody can deny his heart, legendary hustle, and his swag. Man was absolutely a hall of famer and to be honest, his defense on Shaq and others was some of the best I had seen. Think of how he rattled Kemp, Barkley, Malone, any of the days other stars. That allowed Scottie and Michael to do their stuff and not worry about the mess inside. It was rough down there in the box and I think they needed Dennis to be banging around and getting fouls on the other teams bigs to swing games. He was a complete A$$ but the man had unreal cardio if you ever saw him live the man simply could run anyone in the NBA out of the gym on any given night and I mean anyone!
Rodman was a genius. Dude was a great basketball player and also was great at frustrating the other team, confusing them, taunting them, etc. I bet alot of people fouled out because they were mad at Dennis.
I’m here right now, because shaq mentioned longley and wennington but forgot to mention Rodman, when he said no one on the bulls could guard him. That’s the reason he said his lakers would beat the bulls. Sorry, Shaq!! You’re wrong.
@Quarantine Gragas Rodman is keeping Shaq of the glass, and I can see Kobe having trouble vs. '96 Scottie. Scottie on Portland kept Kobe to 42% from the field in the 2000 Finals as the primary defender, which is great. MJ would have trouble vs. Kobe, but in 2000-2002, Kobe was undisciplined and gambled too much on defense, so he either got a steal and started a one-man fast break or got blown by and left in the dust. Regardless, I would take the 96 or 97 Bulls over the 3-peat Lakers of the 2000s anyday.
2 points 18 rebounds. LEGEND.
2 pts clutch time

You know you're important when Jordan and Pippen prevents you from getting thrown out.

Jordan actually super competitive. He was probably worried about Rodman getting a technical and the Lakers winning by a free throw.

With his size, he can run the floor, he had speed, the IQ, the moves, and the power. He was relentless on he offensive end and you had to double team him almost every time he had the ball. Again, Shaq was arguably the most dominant PLAYER of all time. The only problem was his FT shooting.
TH-cam User HE'S DOMINANT BECAUSE HE'S BIG. CENTERS AND POWERFORWARDS UNDERSTANDS THIS. do you play? even his coach uses it as an advantage. he's no more different than yao ming.
Rodman all time best defense player ... Period
His Airness, The Worm & No Tippin' Pippen. If like me you got the pleasure to see these guys then we need to realise how lucky we were to witness history in the making.
Rodman and Ben Wallace are some of the best defensive players of all time.
Hakeem leader all time in blocks
Scottie pippen no need for words
Mike, at one point was the only guard to win DPOY. Not to mention top 3 all time in steals. Stockton, Cheeks, and Mike.
Isaiah Murrell are SOME of the best defensive players. Learn to read.
rottishake stupid all I did was add two other people to the list
Isaiah Murrell
Oh sorry lmao, I thought you were trying to say that they were the best defensively.
A lot of Shaq fans are whining that the Bulls were doubling and tripling Shaq in the 2nd half, so Rodman didn't really shut him down. The only reason the doubles and triples were effective in the first place is because Rodman prevented Shaq from getting deep position and made him take way too long to post up.
You'll notice on the first 2 plays that Shaq scored on Wennington, Jordan tried doubling on Shaq, but with Wennington on him, Shaq had an easy time getting deep position, backing him down and taking a quick shot before the doubles could do anything. Even with the help defense, it's accurate to say Rodman was the main reason Shaq got shut down because his initial defense was the only reason the doubles and triples had enough time to make Shaq a passer. If it was Wennington guarding him the whole second half, Shaq would have kept backing him down before the double teams could do anything.
Nobody Touches Jordan quit whining.....its called home cooking. bullsheet colored glasses
kaine1724 yeah, you've been touched on before. You shouldn't be mad since the settlement though. Sandusky still got you sore huh?
Naw, you're thinking too hard..they doubled him, Period!
Deangeles228 lol is that a personal pain you are sharing or just a fantasy? hahahahaha
Kevin Hill wow how is it so many bulls fans have been molested? hey kevin hill i hope you get better with time. hahahaha lol :P
This game is from many years ago yet I still clapped so hard when I saw Rodman nail the freethrow. Hahaha. I love this NBA era!
He was actually pretty solid at the free throw line, especially when it counted.
This is why Rodman is one of my favorite players of all time (and I'm a Lakers fan).
Lebron would die flat against Rodman
gwapsgarcia for sure lebron is lucky.. if he played in the 90s rodman wouldve owned him..
rldabomb7 no
The giant Troll Yes!
but now rules are changed and, game is not same as old way
Yes, Lebron has spent most of his career lowering his shoulder and bulling his way forward. And either getting a blocking foul or getting to the side of the defender and using his hip to create room.
He counts on quick players being afraid to take charges because of how big he is. And big slow players can't cut him off in time.
But Rodman had the quickness to make life a nightmare for Lebron, and he was fearless enough to take the hits.
God, these Bulls were such a great team. I mean, DAMN! They were just so fun to watch - Rodman was a huge part of that, too - on and off the court.
@ 2:33, Rodman holds Shaq's left arm the entire time during the ball being passed to him. In today standard, the NBA players of today would cry nonstop to the referees and to the media. I missed NBA from the 90's. I think it's the best. I'm a little biased because it was my era and growing up watch Michael Jordan is pure awesome.
I certainly agree with you. In my part, it's called full body contact with strategy...
agree i recently watched that 3v3 street basketball world championship and was amazed that they let them play it like in the old days like man used to play. I love this old stile wish basketball was more of mans game today as well.
Tyrone Kuleman true its the millenial trans gender time basketball
Tyrone Kuleman Damn dude! I just enjoyed the NBA in the 90's and you're the one that mentioned about being "glorified", etc. Now you even go so far that there are something "special" happening right now. The hell? Who's glorify now huh? LOL! I'm not making fun of you or anything but you sounded more into the NBA now days than I was being in the 90's dude.
You mean made you interest in watch the NBA in the 80s. The NBA wasn't watch by the world in the 80s, well a small world that is. Only Canada, and part of Western Europe could watch the NBA in the 80s. Other parts of the world can't, maybe because of political reason (China/Soviet/Cuba), poverty (many countries in Southeast Asia/Eastern Europe/South America/Africa) and basketball didn't really catch on (Japan/Korea/Hong Kong) until the 90's where those reasons might free up the interest in watch/play basketball. I came to the U.S in the late 80s and didn't know jack about basketball until I came here, so forget about the NBA. So the 90's open up lots of door to basketball in general and people know more about NBA started in this era. Is it because of MJ? Probably and this walking legend should always be part of the equation. He's that good.
nobody till this day can play like Dennis Rodman rt
tired of everyone saying rodman didnt play offense. his passing was on par with a point guard even at full court. and he had a brilliant basketball mind. between setting picks, filling lanes, and assisting 23, 33, 7 he was very involved in the offensive highlight reel that was da bulls
For sure. Dennis was a PHENOMENAL passer. Dude's court vision was as good as anybody's
Dam, that really showed you how incredibly strong he actually was, he had shaq boxed out the paint, pure strength and smarts, I don't think anybody has dominated shaq like that....
Universal Suffrage Hakeem Olajawon
all he did was grab him from behind while shaq was in mid air.. lol idiots.. shaq can't fight haha, he was too big to fight, mma history shows that guys over 265 pounds and over 6'3 are at a disadvantage, way too hard to defend take downs. even dennis rodman is too tall to be an elite ufc fighter at heavyweight.
Actually, rebounding is all about positioning. Quickness to get to a good position, and an innate talent of knowing where a ball is likely to bounce (given distance and direction of the shot) are more important than pure strength.
When Shaq simply backed Rodman down, the Bulls doubled. No amount of quickness or positioning can overcome pure strength there.
Only other was Ben Wallace, him and Rodman are the goats of defense imo
@@maxthefoooool Agreed, these guys were the size of small forwards but had the strength of elite Center's...they were incredible athletes and were some of the toughest guys to ever play in the league.
When Jordan and Pippen tackled Rodman... now THAT'S teamwork!
Now THATS entertainment
Did anyone else hear the sideline reporter say "that stupid Rodman" when Rodman and Shaq were about to scuffle? Boy I would've paid to hear him say that to Rodman's face🤣
That wasn't the sideline reporter, that was the legendary Chick Hearn
Rodman also kept him off the glass. So anyone stating the double & triple teams are the reason Shaq didn't score, how many offensive boards did he have? Any chances for garbage buckets? Nope.
6:17 - Shaq clearly pushed him outta frustration/payback lol.
Rodman was a freak of nature!!! People never realized how strong Rodman was for a B Ball player. Rodman was one in a few of NBA players who could bench press over 400lbs. That's what helped him to obtain his many rebounding titles over the course of his career. Shots out my boy Rodman...aka the Worm!!!
Thats impressive af, ive always had respect for Rodman but now even more 💯💪🏾🔥
The Next closest person
Was another Hall of Famer
NFL'er Larry Allen is the only other person that even comes close.
REAL BASKETBALL! Now they soften up the NBA so weak players today can easily build up stats.
@Jethro Derp Its practically the same double edged dagger but its focused on offense.
In the past it was defense but the downside is that the other has defense as well but now its offense the other team can offense as well get fouls its harder for defenders to do their thing plus there is an increase in 3 point shooting so everywhere in the court there is a threat. If it is about difficulty in era its about the same.
@Jethro Derp If players like LeBron James, Giannis, kevin durant and steph curry played they can dominate in that era.
A 280 pounds athletic freak of nature who has a 38 vertical and DPOY and MVP lebron james played in that era he could still average what he is averaging.
@Jethro Derp I'll talk to you when you're older kid
@Jethro Derp idiot
0 point/s with a double digit number of rebounds, he was built for it
2 points starting at 7:47
Best basketball 🏀 era ever .
Rodman is a beast, I always loved watching this guy play, pure Heart, he will be missed!
Rodman was totally fearless he seemed to have extra fire hatred towards O neal. When asked why he hated Shaq he said I dont feel nothing off of him meaning no energy. Thats why Rodman could be so effective he was busy and made Shaq work and have to fight for position.
yo alonzo schooled him ok
jordan picked up rodman like he was his child acting out in public, “one more time and were going home!”
players had so much charisma and character back then.. love it !
Don't you kids ever bring up trash draymond donkey green anywhere near Rodman's defensive prowess. Draymond is lucky he's playing in an era with 5 post up bigs. If he played in the 2000s and earlier he'd be giving up 60 and 30 on a daily.
@Joshua LeFranc Kyle Rittenhouse don't drop the soap
@Joshua LeFranc "just as good as Rodman" LOL
@Joshua LeFranc
Calling people "kiddo" when you literally just made this account only 10 months ago lol. Youre probably 16 or younger. Sit down child 😉.
@Joshua LeFranc "Just as good", I think not. Green is great defender, but primarily a team defender. He has lots of hustle, but nobody had more than Rodman, and he is nowhere hear as athletic. Rodman is better 1v1.
Shaq: My lakers team would beat the 96’ Bulls. Lmao what a joke
He is talking about that superstars made up Lakers team I think, with Magic Johson Lebron AD Kobe and Shaq, I think.
Still Shaq should not talk since he started playing in 92-93 but only started to dominate and being recognized after MJ retired in 98. If he started playing in the 80's he would have 0 rings, like Charles Barkley, the man he is always making fun of for having no rings.
Wigiloco zambi Yeah but that’s the dumbest argument ever. You can’t take superstars from different eras that NEVER played together and say we could beat them. Smh
Wigiloco zambi No Kareem Jerry West or Wilt? Lmao
@@mrsky67 It is Shaq's team not mine. Read.
the broadcaster is clearly a laker fan.
+JetLife 4 Life Idiot he's a Laker legend, Lakers broadcast team, Kcal 9 channel. Wow where have idiots been. In the U.S. there are multiple media outlets that cover games. This is clearly a Lakers broadcast. Chick Hearn even has a statue outside of Staples Center.
+Moon Man Walt Frazier is a KNICKS legend and knicks announcer and he doesn't call the knicks games from a biased point of view.. so being a laker legend isn't a pass for being a biased announcer.
+JetLife 4 Life I still don't think you're getting it. Chick Hearn isn't just a Laker Legend, he's a broadcasting legend. He was calling games way before Clyde was even in the league and didn't miss a game in over 36 years. The man came up with the term- Slam Dunk. Plus, I listen to Clyde call Knick games....he still thinks he's Nipsey Russell. That's your example? LOL
Now, if you want to hear a biased announcer, check out Tommy Heinsohn call a Celts game.
+Motorboat Jones Tommy Heinson is THEE WORST!!!!
the most idiotic comment I've read so far in 2016 from youtube, Facebook, putlocker, reddit, twitter, instagram, and internet message boards combined.
damn, rodman swished those free throws better than ray allen.. dude was always trying hard to score as less points as possible, lol
shaq had 50 lbs, 6 inches and 10 years younger, and rodman owned him
Quarantine Gragas That’s false. Look at the stats 96-03 Shaq was prime shaq. I’m these days, Shaq was more athletic and faster.
Quarantine Gragas Dude. Yao Ming, Ben Wallace, and Chamberkain could stop him
@Quarantine Gragas no. They call him "the most dominant player ever" because they are skilled at marketing... and it seems to have worked on you.
This isnt Orlando Shaq here. This is Lakers' Big Diesel... this was his sixth year in the league / 27 years old. He was 320 lbs and, besides shooting a higher FG% this season than later, the rest of his numbers are essentially identical to his three peat years.
Rodman matched well against Shaq. That sort of thing happens. Happens with Lebron vs certain players, it happened with Kobe, it even happened with MJ. And fans of those guys will readily admit this. But there's something about Shaq fans: you guys have yourselves entirely convinced that "nobody can guard Shaq. NOBODY. He's THE most dominating...." bla bla
Well, people could and did defend Shaq very well sometimes: and this video provides clear evidence.
@Bob George true. Like I said "some players could and did defend Shaq well."
Rodman was definitely one of these. That was my point.
Cheers
@@theorignalmartian1261 not really
I love the Lakers and the Bulls back then. I also enjoyed the bad boys of Detroit. It's the reason why I continue to watch basketball now. Rodman was the GOAT in defense in my book. I'll have him on 1st team Defense all day/ every day. Can't knock the man's hustle on Defense.
LeBron definitely would NOT have survived in that era of basketball. No amount of crying or refs would help him out.
Charles Williams he would have been an average player in that era
90s ball was the most physical. You definitely had to have been strong mentally. I just don't see LeBron being able to have his way against teams like the Bulls and especially not the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons. He's rattled too easily now in today's game and it would be even worse for him the amount of punishment they brought. He would be reduced to an average player at best even with his size. Charles Oakley and LeBron James...yeah that would definitely be interesting lol
Charles Williams i think youre vastly underrating him,now just for the record he isnt my favorite player bc i didnt grow up with him but he is one of the very elite group of people that can draw comparison with MJ,now he's still waayyy behind him but imagine one second he didnt lose those finals like MJ he would be on his level,so no he wouldn't be "an average at best" player in the 90's man he'd be a good/great player
+oh oh he wont even get a rebound from rodman
+Tyrone Kuleman yeah smh this dude hates lebron so much he tripping
9:40 "People say that 'Dennis Rodman this... Dennis Rodman that.' But they can't deny he's a h*** of a basketball player"
Truer words were never spoken 💯
Rodman played him awesome in small stretches in the 1996 ECF also
Rodman from 1989-1997 was DOMINANT on defense
even gave Hakeem a little trouble in 1995 in small patches which at that time was near impossible to guard
Jordan did a choke hold on Rodman at 7:10 . I'm pretty sure teammates will never appreciate something like this
sendoh916 jordan seemed to love grabing people around the throat.
6:34 Jordan just pulling Dennis, like a big brother. 6:16 Jordan actually had his hands on Rodman's throat to stop Rodman. Freak man, Jordan was tough on his teammate. Getting Rodman in line, protecting him from being thrown out.
That’s what teammates are supposed to do. Protect each other from making dumb mistakes.
He had just been suspended & Jordan was basically the coach so he had to keep him in check
but people did not realize that in crucial plays, rodman free throws always counts..ahahha
Rodman had a very bad FT pt in career but in the money time, he often put his Ft such as 96'finals game 2
lol the commentator really hated rodman
It's an LA broadcaster, look at the logo of the station. Rodman raped them out of victory so you can expect them hating him for that.
that's chick hearn commentating legend
Yep! Haha
he still my favourite player..dennis rodman is a legend
Shaq seemed scared / tentative AF. They say all bullies deep down are cowards, and Shaq was / is a bully.
One of my favorite players all-time.
6:19
"Ahhhh, that STUPID Rodman!"
😂😂😂
Sore losers 😂😂
Jajajaja
Stupid announcer. Rodman should not take the bait under the circumstances, but consider that first he eats an elbow to the neck fighting for position--no complaint. Then he grabs the rebound, calls time; the ball is grabbed from him from behind??? No big issue yet, but he is getting hot. Then Scottie grabs him, but Shaq comes over and puts hands on him--for what? Does the announcer say "stupid Shaq?"
Rodman was a strong player. Shaq couldn't move him when trying to get close to the rim.
El Joelo well he would get double team every time he would try
Angel Sanchez You didn’t watch the video
Hokage Itachi Uchiha are you dumb? Like look back at it every time he would try they would try and steal the ball you metal dumbass
Angel Sanchez If you watched the video, you could clearly see that Rodman prevented Shaq from backing him down and gaining a deep position, which caused those turnovers, and made Shaq take jumpers.
@@AngelSanchez-or5re you must have watched a different video than I just did.
6:30 "Oh That Stupid Rodman." Lol!
Aiden Pearce Plus it was Shaq that started the confrontation!!!
34stzoo Yep! I don’t care. I miss the old days.
David Grant I stopped watching basketball. There's too much flopping, too many babies crying about fouls, and not enough hart!
There's no rivalries, everyone are buddy, buddies. The new NBA is a joke!
Absolutely. We ought to start a protest.
+34stzoo ha ha yep. also why i cant enjoy soccer
When Dennis was on he was awesome. I wish the CHI team stayed together this could’ve been an amazing finals come 99/2000. Oh well. Great time miss this NBA.
before golddust there was rodman.
Goldust was before Rodman
Technically, the character, "Goldust" was born Oct. 22, 1995 at an In Your House PPV vs. Marty Jennetty whever he made his WWF (at the time) debut. Whereas Dennis Rodman was born May 13, 1961. Dustin Reynolds (who plays Goldust) was born April 11, 1969. But either way. Dennis Rodman is older, Therefore was "BEFORE".
love this fact check!
king djack 😂😂😂
Bruh, this has me weak as fuck.
you have to love him he was so physical he would get in your head & laugh about it lol!
I love how on the way up Dennis and Scottie are laughing. Mike, however, is not😂
Yeah ....Mike was not having it
Hanamichi Sakuragi
he said "that stupid Rodman" and he didn't do nothing
If you look at the station , it's CAL (Laker broadcasters). So expect them hating Rodman for shutting down their center.
Year 2019,
Draymond Green(Green Guy) be like: "Im the best defender of all time"
Dennis Rodman: "Watch this kid"
when Rodman was one of the few guys with tattoos...the good ole' days !
I love the part when Pippen and Rodman fall down and they just laughed hahaha
I remember this game. It’s cool to hear different commentators...I watched the TNT/TBS broadcast & went Jordan & Pippen went to calm Rodman they were laughing.
The most impressive thing about Rodman is that he covered Jordan or Pippen early in his career as well as Bird and Magic, He focused on his strength and began covering power forwards and centers.
I have seen Shaquille get away with more fouls than any player in my history he was not that talented just Big and this shit is Rigged, also he is a freemason 33rd degree I believe
DUDE STFU SHAQ IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS WAS A MONSTER U JUST SOUND STUPID AS FUCC
I watched this game on tv when it was played. Rodman was kind of a love or hate guy. His antics were often quite frustrating to opponents, so if he wasn't on your team, chances are you didnt like him. But I was a huge Bulls fan. I was skeptical when they got him that his style and lack of scoring was what the bulls needed. But his energy was off the charts, and if there was a 50/50 ball in play, it always seemed like he came up with it. Nobody can deny his heart, legendary hustle, and his swag. Man was absolutely a hall of famer and to be honest, his defense on Shaq and others was some of the best I had seen. Think of how he rattled Kemp, Barkley, Malone, any of the days other stars. That allowed Scottie and Michael to do their stuff and not worry about the mess inside. It was rough down there in the box and I think they needed Dennis to be banging around and getting fouls on the other teams bigs to swing games. He was a complete A$$ but the man had unreal cardio if you ever saw him live the man simply could run anyone in the NBA out of the gym on any given night and I mean anyone!
He could guard the perimeter too at the same level that he could guard the paint. The Bulls just didn't need him to do that.
1:54
"Did he travel? No"
"Did he get fouled? No" LOL
LeBron James is lucky he doesn't have to face Dennis Rodman in Detroit or Chicago.
Rodman was a genius. Dude was a great basketball player and also was great at frustrating the other team, confusing them, taunting them, etc. I bet alot of people fouled out because they were mad at Dennis.
Lol " that stupid Rodman " 😂
TH-cam Ads lol. From one troll to another
TH-cam Ads lmao I spit my cereal out of my mouth when he said that.
how can he afford to say that ?
he had 0 class for saying that
Zhang yulun he didn’t say that lol
This energy from the crowd was a REGULAR SEASON GAME
That game was not played like a regular season game.
7:15 that one handed choke of MJ could calm down any beast..😂😂😂😂
8:02 - you, and you, and you
No one is as funny or entertaining..... or crazy as Dennis was!!!
6:15 Look how they laugh it off . They really know each other
The leadership of Jordan is unbelievable.
Dude came in like a brother 🤘👌
I’m here right now, because shaq mentioned longley and wennington but forgot to mention Rodman, when he said no one on the bulls could guard him. That’s the reason he said his lakers would beat the bulls. Sorry, Shaq!! You’re wrong.
@Quarantine Gragas Rodman is keeping Shaq of the glass, and I can see Kobe having trouble vs. '96 Scottie. Scottie on Portland kept Kobe to 42% from the field in the 2000 Finals as the primary defender, which is great. MJ would have trouble vs. Kobe, but in 2000-2002, Kobe was undisciplined and gambled too much on defense, so he either got a steal and started a one-man fast break or got blown by and left in the dust. Regardless, I would take the 96 or 97 Bulls over the 3-peat Lakers of the 2000s anyday.
whenever there's chaos, expect a michael pulling and a scottie laughing. you can clearly see what they're up to roflmao
