The one thing the Last Dance taught me is that Dennis Rodman is a student of the game more than anything. He might be one of the best basketball minds on the planet. He studied the way different players put spin on the ball to help better position himself for the rebound, on top of all the tenacity he showed going after and getting rebounds as well.
Everyone talks about Rodman being such a pain. When he was traded to Chicago... do you know how long it took him to learn the triangle offense? Three days!
Yeah seriously, and as a Knick fan I wish we could have implemented this team game, but Carmelo on the other hand never bothered or couldnt grasp it, and the fools in NY never understood what they had in Phil Jackson

@MANCHESTER UNITED Soccer is the Number 1 sport because it's the easiest, cheapest, and most accessible sport in the world. Its the only sport every country can afford. You don't need a gym, you don't need a specific terrain, you don't need a specialized goal like basketball, you don't need pads and equipment, you don't need size and strength, you don't need athletic skill, you don't need as much speed or agility, you don't need much tactics or wit. You really don't even need hands unless you are a goalie. All you need is a field, a ball to kick, and a goal boundary. Soccer is the world" sport, but it's a beta male sport compared to football, rugby, and basketball.
@@scottiemccarthy896 Lucky for today's players they never played in the real NBA era. Today's NBA is weak. No NBA team today can play in the 80's/90's era. All of them will just cry. Of course today's NBA are shooters because you are allowed to score, its basically a round-robin in today's NBA.

Man when he was talking about his preparation and how he trained himself to rebound better. It was poetry this is just straight up bonus. You hear the passion.
The part where he says he was one of the best on outlet passes after a rebound? He's right. He is one of the absolute best at that. He wasn't a bad offensive player, he just wasn't a great shooter. Everything else on offense he was great at.

Dennis Rodman and Mike Tyson are very similar, they were wild in their social lives, both insecure and emotional men, but when it came to their respective fields, they were geniuses. The way they were able to break down what they were doing to a science, you can hear the passion and brilliance that they have for their professions when they talked about it and could see it when they were in action. Both students of their craft and very intelligent in their own right. It’s like listening to Professors giving a lecture when they are explaining their art. Very intricate and a masterful understanding of their craft
tau tamale good comparison man , Amen . and you you could see the layers peel as they age and become more ( secure ) and not misunderstood athletes anymore..
This doesn’t look that difficult, but when you get on the court, everyone has to know exactly where to be, where to cut, you need to pay attention to where the ball is so you’re ready for it and be paying attention to when people move and then go fill that vacated spot. It looks so simple but my team tried to run this and if even one person doesn’t know where to be or isn’t paying attention even if they aren’t part of the triangle then the whole thing falls apart.
The triangle offense is for High IQ players, but also players who want to get better. The triangle makes you look at the game different because the court is now broken into sink or swim sections. If a player on the team does not understand where they are suppose to be they will put their defender in the passing lane. Or run into their teammate, this is the sink of it. But if everyone knows how to run it, it an amazing system. To me I call it the rotating triangle because it always moving and reshaping. With the picks and replacement of players a lot of defensives have no clue what's going on until they watch the tape.
I would tell you that's all organized ball. Every play, everybody needs to know their role and their part. Otherwise, the play breaks down. However the triangle is more forgiving. The triangle offense is easier in the sense that it's position less. Meaning the three players forming the triangle can be any position 1-5. It doesn't matter. It opens up opportunities to score in different ways. As you see in the last play. The 4 used the 2 to free up the 5 for a free throw line jumper. That's why the triangle is so great. I would argue it's harder to guard, than it is to run.
this is the reason I don't buy that whole "phil jackson got all them titles cuz of superstars" argument. there's plenty of teams that had multiple superstars that couldn't achieve or maintain this level of excellency and consistency.
Triangle offense is a gem 💎.. all that moving and cutting screen setting and reacting.. they got the same shot on the opposite side of the court without calling a play.
The great thing about this offense is that there is constant movement off the ball and every person on the court has the same offensive responsibilities and opportunities. It doesn't matter who you sub into the game, their job is exactly the same. This allows everyone to get involved in the offense while at the same time creating fluid, organic opportunities for your best offensive players to score the ball.
Watch "Last Dance" on ESPN, or online. He does break down how he reads a rebound and how he trained to be the best rebounder in the league. I was in awe of how he broke it down to a science.
You can read Rodman's autobiography in the meantime, which I think covers both his personal life and career in the NBA. I hope documentaries come for the major players in the Bulls, like Pippen, Rodman, Kerr, Kukoc etc.
The triangle won 11 titles and 13 final appearances in 20 years. It got everybody involved and created ball movement. I miss teams running offense in basketball. Today it’s either ISO or jack up a 3.
It's funny how Dennis was the most controversial. But to me so far he's the most charismatic and likeable. He didn't pretend to a nice guy. He probably is cool to hang out with at parties
Also one of the few superstars that need a great coach to win three finals and also get to the finals there also a lot of superstars that didnt make it to the finals.
Wish someone would get Rodman on a show relating to basketball. He’s at his best & most coherent when talkin basketball. He’s got so much basketball genius he could share with the youngins. Love & respect to the 🐛
So simple, but so difficult and so effective when done properly. Great that Dennis showed that and explained everything. It proves how great player he was and how actually good were other Bulls, even "bench" players. And then MJ and Pip coming back and the hammer falls....
The Worm was my favorite player. I was never the biggest or the most talented player...but I hustled and hit the floor and tried my hardest. His book motivated me to do the things that other players didn't want to do like rebounding and passing and playing defense.
The Warriors were so blessed: Learned defensive mentality under Mark Jackson. Learned Phil's Triangle and Popovich's democratic Spurs basketball under Steve Kerr. Best GM's dream to bring all the pieces together to form a contender.
Warriors didn't learn defense with Mark Jackson. Mark was more of a preacher than a coach. That's the reason he got canned. He doesn't even draw plays for the team on game day.
Awesome. I love in episode 3 when he’s talking about shooters and how much each guys shot rotates and what that means for where he needs to go for the rebound. It’s not just luck that a guy consistently gets 12-20 boards a game. Love listening to him, the series has been amazing!
Great break down Dennis what a brilliant smart basketball player high IQ high intensity I never noticed how great his passing ability was ..we all no how amazing his rebounding is ..im just blown away with his basketball IQ , talent, and work work ethic this was so cool
My coach in HS ran this for years and won 7 state titles. We started learning it in grade school at his basketball camps. He coached us it was all about timing and spacing. Loved it!
THIS was THE BEST analogy of teaching The TRIANGLE Offense I've heard out of ALL The Players from The Bulls or LA including PHIL. And They said it takes YEARS to learn. GREAT JOB BIG WORM !
It's a little bit more complicated on the court, than when observing. There's 3 seconds (in the key), then if you're cutting and there's no play - if you're going to screen, when and where to do it - because if there's an iso behind your back (that you can't see, but have to know) you won't screen to make a jam, maybe fake screen and pull both out of the way... And perhaps another 5 things that can happen. And you're trying not to frustrate the guy with the ball, but need a basket. It's a great game to play. :)
i just realized that in the last clip, phil didnt have pippen or jordan on the court. meaning he left rodman in charge of that unit. it's says a lot about phil's respect for rodman, and Dennis's basketball acument.
he does pretty well in interviews when sober... there are a fair few of them around, hes a lot better these days... except his shoe unboxing videos lol
I absolutly love this! Dennis does an amazing job breaking down these plays and his basketball IQ comes shining through. I hope he gets more opportunities like this, I'd love to hear it. I'm surprised to say this, but I want to be the Dennis Rodman of breaking down IT and Cybersecurity topics!
I grew up in Chicago during the Bulls rise. When Dennis joined the team it was like a dream come true. He was my favorite player in the league. Love Ya Rodman!
I saw him play two times and I watched him only during the entire game. Now, listen carefully, I saw him block a shot then throw the outlet and then beat everyone down the court, get the pass from the person he threw the outlet to and slam dunk the basketball. He did that more than once that night. He is the greatest ATHLETE I have ever seen in my life. he never breathed hard the entire night, but beat everyone on offense and defense up and down the court. I didn't say he is the greatest basketball player. I said ATHLETE!. He ran tirelessly up and down the court the entire night. I to this day have not see anyone able to do that. He was a GAME CHANGER! PERIODT! (emphasis with a T).
Rodman was a marathon man with near infinite stamina. People who played with him say after games he would be on the treadmill for up to an hour before leaving to go party.
Some younger viewers might not know this, but guarding was used in old ages of NBA as a part of defense. Defense was actually a significant part of the game.
defense is still played in today nba lmao just because it isn’t a bunch of savages smashing into each other every play doesnt mean it’s not significant
look at these 2 chumps telling you you're wrong...probably werent' even born when Mike was playin with the Wizards...kids, there's hardly any defense in today's NBA it's boring AF, travelling is allowed too...your all stars will become role players in the 90s
My Idol Dennis Rodman "You dont have to score to dominate the game" Only 6"7 guarding all position and dominating the game of basketball in his own way The Best Defender of All Time The Best Rebounder of All Time Salute from the Philippines
Nice!! BTW, the Bulls' triangle offense is outlined as one of many strategies in the book "Strategic Advantage: How to Win in War, Business, and Life."
Never heard Rodman break down basketball like this. Shows how smart he was. That's why he would take rebounds over guys 6 inches taller, he out-thought everyone else. Kind of surprised he never went in to coaching. Very honest about his abilities too, he really was one of the best at rebounding and then moving the ball out fast, but was a poor shooter haha.
Love it. Finally people can understand Rodman had the brains to go with his game. I think that's what separates the greats from the rest. They understand the game on another level. Dennis was on that level.
It's a read option offense creating a strong side and a weak side that flexs with ball movement...it takes relationships and chemistry for this offense to work because for a coach it's hands free because it's a play style not sets
Barkley: If I had Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, I would've won some too, you were just fortunate. MJ: So you didn't like your teammates? Barkley: I love my teammates, they just weren't as good and Scottie and Dennis.
Nobody likes Rodman, until he went to the Bulls and win 3 in a row. 🤷♂️, MJ and Scottie doesn't even like Rodman, but they respect his abilities, that's what you call Professionalism and they were able to make it work 3 consecutive times. 💪
RODMAN was AMAZING!!!! I loved his effort, hustle and energy. Pound for pound best rebounder no doubt of all time. Hands down, he's head and shoulders above everyone the way MJ is better than everyone all around.
Nick Godwin Dennis isn’t a great mind just from looking at this video. I’m sure he’s a bright guy but this didn’t show that. This was a very average analysis. I mean no disrespect here, but any player who played in the triangle could have done this. We should have higher standards for who can fill this void. Kobe was a legend on the court and in video production.
We ran it in high school. It took about a month for most people to get it down. It was only about a third of what the Bulls did. There are really a lot of options to it. We had 40 or 50 options plus inbounds plays. It goes against what you want to do naturally. The screens are in weird spots. But if you do it right you always get wide open shots.
@@JamesBrown-hr5qs got to love the keyboard Warriors saying it was simple but never played anything other than pick up a basketball half-court with their friends.
This reminds me of FC Barcelona's tiki taka from the beginning of the decade. I'm a soccer fan first, basketball second, so please don't hate too much 😭 but yea, Simple visual concept: triangulated passing routes, with a lot of ball and player movement, getting the whole tram involved. The trick with these types of strategies is forming plays before executing them. The routes and passes are orchestrated to free up spacer for shots or passes. Understanding it is a bit easier, but learning to make movements, on the ball or off, that ardent simply wasted movements is key.
I think one of the most underrated parts of this video is the pass at 0:59. Dennis calls that an easy pass, but it takes a lot of skill and accuracy to get that ball perfectly over those two defenders and down to Michael at the rim. Just another example of how great a player Dennis is.

Wish someone would get Rodman on a show relating to basketball. He’s at his best & most coherent when talkin basketball. He’s got so much basketball genius he could share with the youngins. Love & respect to the 🐛
So simple, but so difficult and so effective when done properly. Great that Dennis showed that and explained everything. It proves how great player he was and how actually good were other Bulls, even "bench" players. And then MJ and Pip coming back and the hammer falls....
The Worm was my favorite player.
I was never the biggest or the most talented player...but I hustled and hit the floor and tried my hardest.
His book motivated me to do the things that other players didn't want to do like rebounding and passing and playing defense.
The Warriors were so blessed:
Learned defensive mentality under Mark Jackson.
Learned Phil's Triangle and Popovich's democratic Spurs basketball under Steve Kerr.
Best GM's dream to bring all the pieces together to form a contender.
Fax!!!

*D’antoni offense as well Kerr was the GMof those suns teams as well
Warriors didn't learn defense with Mark Jackson. Mark was more of a preacher than a coach. That's the reason he got canned. He doesn't even draw plays for the team on game day.
@@antlou123 you're really buggin....real basketball fans know why he credited mark.....foh
Rodman is an all time legend. Love listening to him. Bulls were and had Such great players with a simple game plan
These types of guys are almost always revered in the beginning, as time goes by they become admired.
This was so amazing analysis and narrative by Dennis it didn't get me bored ... I hope he do more a lot of this kind of stuff...
The triangle is how he landed Carmen Electra
They ran a few triangles but those are called threesomes. That is he and Carmen...
Madonna too.
@@jguerin18 he smashed Phil's gf too Jeanie Buss
@@sportsfan120577
Wait Jeanie was Phil's girl?
bobby Valentino they were engaged
Awesome. I love in episode 3 when he’s talking about shooters and how much each guys shot rotates and what that means for where he needs to go for the rebound. It’s not just luck that a guy consistently gets 12-20 boards a game. Love listening to him, the series has been amazing!
Great break down Dennis what a brilliant smart basketball player high IQ high intensity I never noticed how great his passing ability was ..we all no how amazing his rebounding is ..im just blown away with his basketball IQ , talent, and work work ethic this was so cool
My coach in HS ran this for years and won 7 state titles. We started learning it in grade school at his basketball camps. He coached us it was all about timing and spacing. Loved it!
THIS was THE BEST analogy of teaching The TRIANGLE Offense I've heard out of ALL The Players from The Bulls or LA including PHIL. And They said it takes YEARS to learn. GREAT JOB BIG WORM !
It's a little bit more complicated on the court, than when observing. There's 3 seconds (in the key), then if you're cutting and there's no play - if you're going to screen, when and where to do it - because if there's an iso behind your back (that you can't see, but have to know) you won't screen to make a jam, maybe fake screen and pull both out of the way... And perhaps another 5 things that can happen. And you're trying not to frustrate the guy with the ball, but need a basket. It's a great game to play. :)
Dennis you are a legend 👍
"there goes God doing his thing again" that part was great.
Jesús Alejandro Cruz Tlatelpa when did he say that?
2:00
then god misses
Mou Anas he got fouled
Irrespective of it being a joke or a act of respect, blasphemy is not a good thing my buddy 🤷♂️...
Rodman wouldn't even have to be at the game and he still knows what's going on. Guy has one of the best nba IQs , puts these kids to shame today
i just realized that in the last clip, phil didnt have pippen or jordan on the court. meaning he left rodman in charge of that unit. it's says a lot about phil's respect for rodman, and Dennis's basketball acument.
never thought Dennis Rodman would be Kobe's Successor on Detail.. it makes perfect sense
Dennis has such a high basketball iq there. Great explanation there.
That's amazing analysis!
Well done, Dennis!
This is the most sober sounding I’ve ever heard Rodman...
he does pretty well in interviews when sober... there are a fair few of them around, hes a lot better these days... except his shoe unboxing videos lol
That outlet pass is so underrated, though. Good and instinctive passing makes the game that much more smooth.
Man said "there go God,doing his thing again" I'm done 😂😂😂😂
DOINK
@@handello He got fouled.
Black Jesus
The respect
@@missionpupa Jesus was middle eastern, he probably looked like the Palestinians or Syrians.
I absolutly love this! Dennis does an amazing job breaking down these plays and his basketball IQ comes shining through. I hope he gets more opportunities like this, I'd love to hear it. I'm surprised to say this, but I want to be the Dennis Rodman of breaking down IT and Cybersecurity topics!
You will get it my friend
Phil said Dennis rodman and Pau Gasol were the two fastest learners of the triangle. Rodman is showing his basketball IQ right here
Pythagoras was on a whole another level tho
Great reference..the two of them were new to the triangle in their each respective first year's with Phil....nice bro
Caruso James Who?
@@mrsky67 An old Greek dude. He knew a thing or two about triangles.
James Brown Oh, I get it now. Thanks bruh.
This narration alone shows Dennis Rodman's high basketball IQ. Well done, Dennis, well done. ❤️🖤🔥
What's often lost in Rodman's antics was he had a very high basketball IQ
Rodman: See the triangle?
Me: LeonardoDiCapriopointing.jpg
That's the best Bulls Team there in my opinion.
Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc and Harper.
This was the original death line up.
Harper was a tenacious defender too. He doesn't get enough credit for his defense.
Warriors still better tho
@@BasedSly30 Hahahahahahahahahahaha
@@BasedSly30 omg i Hope you are joking
I grew up in Chicago during the Bulls rise. When Dennis joined the team it was like a dream come true. He was my favorite player in the league. Love Ya Rodman!
Very descriptive & well explained Dennis Rodman. I never really visually saw how they ran the triangle at game speed, but now I get it
What made Dennis such a great player is because he was fundamentally sound. Every rebound, every pass, and dribble; it's all fundamentally sound.
I saw him play two times and I watched him only during the entire game. Now, listen carefully, I saw him block a shot then throw the outlet and then beat everyone down the court, get the pass from the person he threw the outlet to and slam dunk the basketball. He did that more than once that night. He is the greatest ATHLETE I have ever seen in my life. he never breathed hard the entire night, but beat everyone on offense and defense up and down the court. I didn't say he is the greatest basketball player. I said ATHLETE!. He ran tirelessly up and down the court the entire night. I to this day have not see anyone able to do that. He was a GAME CHANGER! PERIODT! (emphasis with a T).
Rodman was a marathon man with near infinite stamina. People who played with him say after games he would be on the treadmill for up to an hour before leaving to go party.
Some younger viewers might not know this, but guarding was used in old ages of NBA as a part of defense. Defense was actually a significant part of the game.
defense is still played in today nba lmao just because it isn’t a bunch of savages smashing into each other every play doesnt mean it’s not significant
Clearly you haven’t been watching the playoffs, this years defense is great
look at these 2 chumps telling you you're wrong...probably werent' even born when Mike was playin with the Wizards...kids, there's hardly any defense in today's NBA it's boring AF, travelling is allowed too...your all stars will become role players in the 90s
Blame the refs not the player, the game is softer and lame because of the refs and their technical fouls
@@vanguardas9927 no they will not sir
ladies and gentlemen this is the reason why mj has 6 rings. to have great teammates is the key
My Idol Dennis Rodman
"You dont have to score to dominate the game"
Only 6"7 guarding all position and dominating the game of basketball in his own way
The Best Defender of All Time
The Best Rebounder of All Time
Salute from the Philippines
Nice!! BTW, the Bulls' triangle offense is outlined as one of many strategies in the book "Strategic Advantage: How to Win in War, Business, and Life."
Outlet passes and was crisp🔥🔥didn’t even know. I love it
Yo Dennis! You need to stop doing interviews man... This right here is where it's at. This what I wanna see more of from you.
Great job Rod
He could have a giant TH-cam page just off narrations
Never heard Rodman break down basketball like this. Shows how smart he was. That's why he would take rebounds over guys 6 inches taller, he out-thought everyone else. Kind of surprised he never went in to coaching. Very honest about his abilities too, he really was one of the best at rebounding and then moving the ball out fast, but was a poor shooter haha.
You can say all you want about his off court antics, but he’s one of the most intelligent basketball players of all time.
Love it. Finally people can understand Rodman had the brains to go with his game. I think that's what separates the greats from the rest. They understand the game on another level. Dennis was on that level.
Look who's getting the rebound Me, Ofcourse! -DR
LOVE THIS! MJ is my favoite player ever but I was SOOOO HAPPY wgen we got Rodman!
Man I miss D Rod being in the league. Cool hearing him break down the triangle.
It's a read option offense creating a strong side and a weak side that flexs with ball movement...it takes relationships and chemistry for this offense to work because for a coach it's hands free because it's a play style not sets
One of the best explanations of the triangle offense I’ve ever heard. He makes it very easy to understand.
This is excellent. More from Dennis, please!
My respect to number 91 has increased so much after watching this video, he actually very smart NBA player. Wow
Barkley: If I had Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, I would've won some too, you were just fortunate.
MJ: So you didn't like your teammates?
Barkley: I love my teammates, they just weren't as good and Scottie and Dennis.
Nobody likes Rodman, until he went to the Bulls and win 3 in a row. 🤷♂️, MJ and Scottie doesn't even like Rodman, but they respect his abilities, that's what you call Professionalism and they were able to make it work 3 consecutive times. 💪
That rotation. High level of basketball IQ right there. Also the cuts without the ball by Steve Kerr.
Wow. Very cool to hear Dennis break down the triangle offense.
Hey Rodman~ Can you break down what happened to Kim Jung-un?
😂😂😂 My Korean brothaaaa
That’s the breakdown I want.
Comment gold!
He got the coronavirus and drank bleach?
RODMAN was AMAZING!!!! I loved his effort, hustle and energy. Pound for pound best rebounder no doubt of all time. Hands down, he's head and shoulders above everyone the way MJ is better than everyone all around.
After Dennis throws the outlet to mike “There go God, doin his thing again” 😂😂😂
Dennis is basketball brilliance and a one of a kind soul.
Thank you for posting this. I learned a lot, and it is a credit to the producers of this video. A nice concise seminar on triangle offense.
More Dennis Rodman doing Detail, about defense and rebounding.
Detail just isn't the same without Kobe.
Won't ever be the same, but if they get some big basketball minds like dennis, giving some true in site, it can at least fill a part of that void.
Nick Godwin Dennis isn’t a great mind just from looking at this video. I’m sure he’s a bright guy but this didn’t show that. This was a very average analysis. I mean no disrespect here, but any player who played in the triangle could have done this. We should have higher standards for who can fill this void. Kobe was a legend on the court and in video production.
@@fadya.3660 it was better than when Phil explained it on the last detail lol
@@fadya.3660 lol dude won chips in the triangle too nothing else
Wth does Kobe have to do with the Chicago Bulls’ triangle offence?
Dennis, understood triangle offense, the first day he was in the practice, according to Phil Jackson 👍
Silver Ocean high school freshman teams could learn it in a day. Simple offense really..
God practice makes perfect.
We ran it in high school. It took about a month for most people to get it down. It was only about a third of what the Bulls did. There are really a lot of options to it. We had 40 or 50 options plus inbounds plays. It goes against what you want to do naturally. The screens are in weird spots. But if you do it right you always get wide open shots.
@@JamesBrown-hr5qs got to love the keyboard Warriors saying it was simple but never played anything other than pick up a basketball half-court with their friends.
This reminds me of FC Barcelona's tiki taka from the beginning of the decade. I'm a soccer fan first, basketball second, so please don't hate too much 😭 but yea, Simple visual concept: triangulated passing routes, with a lot of ball and player movement, getting the whole tram involved. The trick with these types of strategies is forming plays before executing them. The routes and passes are orchestrated to free up spacer for shots or passes. Understanding it is a bit easier, but learning to make movements, on the ball or off, that ardent simply wasted movements is key.
To me Dennis Rodman is one of the smartest basketball players ever and he's a top 10 NBA and basketball player of all time no BS I really mean that
I think one of the most underrated parts of this video is the pass at 0:59. Dennis calls that an easy pass, but it takes a lot of skill and accuracy to get that ball perfectly over those two defenders and down to Michael at the rim. Just another example of how great a player Dennis is.
