What was so interesting about the Bulls bench was how they did not have anyone with very well balanced skills or talents. Nothing but extremes. They were at a very high level in what they did do well. They were like glass cannons. Kerr is a perfect example who was the best in the league at what he did. Randy Brown would build a brick shit house shooting, but he had lock down, shut down defense on any small guard. Those full court traps were lethal. He beat Shaq. That right Randy Brown was often the one who beat Shaq, because on full cort traps there was not enough time to set up deep in the post. Kukoc was offense in a bottle. If the rest of the team could compensate , or if the bench player created a horrible match up...
rodman was loved by Chicago and the world, and there's a lot of doubters and game 6 championship game at Chicago he thanked them and Chicago embraced home even more.
I hated Rodman when he was on the Pistons . However there are different kinds of hate, one of which is the inverse of love. I would hate to be hungry looking through the window watching people eat pizza. When Rodman would get an offensive rebound after the Bulls would make a good defensive stop, it felt treading water holding cinder blocks. I remember where I was when I found out about the trade in a magazine. I thought, "So if Pip does not pass right and MJ misses a shot, they get to try it again?
I can absolutely unequivocally say that they were the greatest defensive team ever. When Ron Harper decided to expend his energy on the defensive side of the ball, he was really tough. Obviously Jordan, pippen, and Rodman are all time greats as individual defenders, but the often overlooked detail was their IQ as team defenders. I think Stockton individually was the one player that created the most problems despite probably being on the least talented team the bulls had to play in a finals.
I love Rodman. I know that he's had his ups and downs, but the way he played his heart out EVERY SINGLE GAME is truly admirable. I don't care what people say about him, he was an amazing player and person. My favorite at the 4.
Ikr. And the guy played his heart out on every game and he looks up to jordan. What does that tell you right? And then you'll hear people comparing lebron to jordan...
@@Gelzzky You guys need to chill, you can't tell if a player is playing with all their heart, you definitely can't say nobody today does that, and of course lebron is going to be compared to Jordan, he already has better stats than them, and he has lived up to the hype as the next big thing..
That team was so ahead of it's time. Positionless basketball probably started with that team. You have 3 6'6 + wing players, a 6'8 power forward who can run the floor and a center who can hit from mid range and fill in the gaps. You could also sub out longley and play small with kukoc who could do it all score rebound pass shoot from deep. So much all around talent in that starting lineup and then off the bench you just had, like Dennis said, rock solid guys who would hit shots play good team defense and didn't care about stats. That team was very talented.
kukoc, rodman, harper, jordan and pippen playing at the same time is an anomaly,. rodman is capable and strong enough to effectively guard centers/forwards from olajuwon to shaq to duncan and karl malone while also having the quickness to guard players like Jordan, Drexler,,. Kukoc was called EUROMAGIC because he was 6'11" who can play the pointguard position, while pippen, jordan and harper, who are basically the same size, are all capable of averaging more than 20pts a game while playing Elite defense be it lockdown or help defense,. imagine a taller, longer, more athletic and more defensive GSW with their death line up playing more in the perimeter. Thats what the Bulls are,.
the Chicago Bulls of Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, Longley, Harper, Kukoc, Kerr era is the best TEAM EVER. They could whoop any teams from before, after, during and future era of NBA.

@Barry McCockiner I think u been smoking crack. Did u see those bulls. They would never foul out. The was so much mentally stronger than warriors. Bulls win this in 5 maybe 6 games
@Barry McCockiner rodman can guard Durant . Bulls defense is what set them apart. Those warriors would not be able to play they game. 96 bulls is the second greatest team ever behind d 86 celtics
@Barry McCockiner warriors would not sweep those teams. Look what the rockets did. If rockets can take warriors to seven games just imagine what bulls would do. If Chris Paul would have not been injured then Houston would have beat warriors.lol u in your 20 s so u didn't see how feared the bulls were. Bull was more tougher and defense will s championship. 93 sun's that lost to bulls can get a win versus warriors because of the sun speed
@0:20 That's what I always said when I listen to some dumb kids today who say Jordan "rested" then came back. I always say " you guys are the most dumb/brainwashed" kids that I have ever seen. Let Kobe "rest" for 3 years and then come back at 40 and see how he does. Jordan did so many things that seem completely inhuman but to me, his first come back is THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT that I've ever seen in ANY SPORTS. People today (brainwashed by the media industry to make money) don't understand. The guy LEFT THE GAME IN HIS FUCKING PRIME FOR GOD'S SAKE ! I mean, it's a fucking movie scenario. Then he came back 2 years later IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ROSTER (outside of Pippen). By that time, the league HAD COMPLETELY CHANGED. There were new guys that dominated Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Shaquille O'neal, Olajuwon. Then the guy comes back in a different roster and he re-established himself as the HANDS DOWN BEST...AGAIN !?! Are you kidding me??? And you try to compare him to guys like Kobe, Lebron...come on man. Get the fuck out of here... It just drives me CRAZY how much people take that for granted nowadays. As Rodman says, nowadays, people don't understand. And the reason why is all that hype, all that marketing, all that brainwashing, all the media..."the next MJ" thing. Come on, just think about it. The guy was already the BEST/GREATEST player of all time when he retired in 93. HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GAIN AND EVERYTHING TO LOSE BY COMING BACK. There was no garantee that things would turn out so well. Yet, he did it and MADE IT LOOK SO FUCKING EASY to the point where some dumb people nowadays take it for granted. Well, I'm just glad I was there to witness it live and I knew... I was aware of what I was witnessing.
so true. completely agree with what you said. and the proof of his potential rough road of comeback was on full display in 95. he wasnt fully in tune and the chemistry of the team wasnt there. from a more in depth technical stand point jordan has always been far and ahead of all these stars people hype up so much nowadays. 93 being his first year of decline in athleticism he has already mastered the game in every aspect, let alone how athletic he still was even when he is on a slight decline. but the efficiency he has developed over the years as a scorer was already there and that's why he made it look so effortless. and it takes tremendous intelligence/talent and work ethic to get there. none of these young stars has ever had a more spectacular 10+ straight years of being a dominant players on both end like the way jordan did it and these young dumbfucks are blaming to lack of talents back then hahaha. i gave up defending that on youtube long ago knowing that the dumbest are the loudest but it is their loss to not be able to appreciate how amazing jordan was as a bball player.
the fact that he was able to establish oncourt harmony with dennis rodman is another thing that people don't get,. nobody wanted dennis during those years and in fact he was traded for a back up center and a late round draft pick.. look at dennis' career after chuck daly left the pistons,.nobody can handle his antics on and off the court,... dennis' career would have ended like AI's if jordan didn't get along with him like david robinson did,. Jordan was an extreme gambler who wanted to beat the odds more than he wanted to win,.
I agree I'm a huge jordan fan, I believe he his best all time. But lets not forget that pippen lead a mediocre team to 55 wins and a bad call from having chance to go back to finals, and then jordan comes back and ad rodman, my point being, it is easier to come back to team that nearly got there without you.
i love greg pop, but the first thing he do when become a head coach is to trade rodman. if he knew how to use him like phil did, things would be a lot different.
The difference between Pop and Phil is that Pop requires certain personalities in his team, while Phil just needed talented guys of any sort and he could generally get them to play together. Pop was successful because he got the guys he wanted, they were talented, and they stayed healthy and out of trouble basically forever. Swap Pop for someone like Rick Carlisle and his terrible luck with the Pistons and Pacers and you'd swap their legacies too. People used to say when comparing Phil to Red that Phil was luckier to have better teams. I think it's more indicative that he built at least three, arguably four, different team chemistries (91-93, 96-98, 00-02, 09-10) into champs, while Red had a single franchise with many of the same players in a decade long run of dominance, led by Bill Russell. Pop, with his North Star Tim Duncan, is more comparable to Red in that respect, he had more of the luck of being in the right place at the right time. It's harder to say that about Phil; he had great players, but no advantage of continuity.
Don't forget the year after, they went 69-12. That bulls team only lost 42 games in three years!! That's 42 out of 246 regular season games. They won 204 of those 246 regular season games and, 3 championships.
+eye2thebeholder Do you think that Golden State have the potential to match those Bulls wins? I want them to do well, because I like Curry. But I want that Bulls record to last forever! :-D
@0:53 Again, I love that he drops knowledge to the guys who discovered the nba 5 years ago and who think the nba started with twitter and things like that. The Chicago Bulls were FAR FROM BEING AMONG THE MOST TALENTED TEAM IN THE 90'S. Just look at their roster and look at the teams they faced. It was really a team work + Michael Jordan's magic who CARRIED THOSE TEAMS. So, refreshing to hear a Rodman say it publicly. Thank you Dennis Rodman. And I do know how much Jordan respects Rodman, his intensity, his athleticism, his hardwork...I was a fan too...
I'm not sure what team would be more talented. Forget two of the NBA's top 50 players of all time. Rodman (HOF), Tukoc, Longley, Kerr, Harper, and Bison Dele (RIP). 6 guys that would start for most other teams in the 90's Plus the amazing Jud Buechler, who was adept at a timely steal and a dagger tree pointer.
He said it, Michael, Dennis, Scottie and Kukoc. Kukoc played major role in those games. Watching those playoffs back then i was feeling secure knowing Kukoc was one of the player on the court. He can pass, he can drive to the basket, he can pass and he can clutch aside from Jordan and Kerr. For whatever it's worth, i'm glad he played in NBA, so the world knows his name. Not that European league was bas or anything but in most countries (i live in Indonesia) the only foreign basketball they air was NBA and that's usually during playoffs which i had to watch during my school class cause it's broadcasted live during the day :D
The City of Houston should send MJ flowers every year for his love of baseball. Otherwise it would've been 8 in a row and we might have seen a flirtation with 82-0.
@Fev Ola lmfao stop talking about yourself and mrockets beat Knicks who beat bulls and magic beat bulls while rockets swept them 4-0 keep crying making excusess Rockets beat Bulls more times who gonna stop Hakeem Pippin Jordan lol no Bull's had no answer for Hakeem but you must be a punk in denial Vernon mad Max was someone who could stop Jordan just look up their match ups Jordan had trouble with mad Max boy Jordan Bulls had real problems with Rockets plus in history record between Rocket's vs Bulls Rocket's own Bulls like I said Rocket's beat Bulls and would beat them in the NBA finals
Calm down Fev, Jordan did not destroyed the Knicks. The Knicks took the Bulls to 7 and 6 games during the first Bulls run. The reason the Knicks took the Rockets to 7 games is because the Knicks had Ewing to counter Olajuwon. Against Cartwright and Longley, Olajuwon would've gone off for 50-60 points easily.
Fev, you clearly do not understand how the Rockets played. Those guards and small forwards fed off of Olajuwon. If the opponent double team Olajuwon, he throws the ball back out to one of his many snipers. Cassell, Smith, Horry, Elie, and maybe Maxwell were superb shooters. Then the Rockets got Drexler a year later and the duo of Olajuwon and Drexler could easily match Jordan and Pippen.

Hey graham your interviews are one of the best out there I don't know why you don't have more subscribers. I'm sure you'll get more recognition as time goes by.
Goat 🐐 one of my best memories growing up in the 90’s is getting ready with my family to watch the bulls as well as the show Rodman was going to put on because you knew every night Rodman was gonna come out and get under someone’s skin
Scottie Pippen is the reason those Bulls were so cohesive. Best teammate in the history of any sport.... loyal, humble, driver, always present. no drama... the best...
@Ulysses432, after the Toni game, Scottie grew a lot from the experience because Cartwright had a heart-to-heart conversation with him in the locker room. Scottie reflected and no longer let his ego get the best of him. He became zen-like on the floor and like Todd said, loyal and humble.
The team including Pippen took on Jordan mentality, hard work, toughness and confidence. Once they all got big contracts and without Jordan pushing them, they never met expectations. Pippen was just horrible
These are facts, I remember it like it was yesterday. When it was announced that Rodman was going to Chicago EVERYONE said that he was going to destroy the team. 3 straight championships, how you like them apples? 😂
i feel like every team needs a Dennis Rodman type player because of the type of defense he brings to the table and the way he can get into so many opponents head to throw them of their game.
For all of. His crazy antics on and off the court this man was a genius on the court by far pound for pound inch for inch best defender and rebounder period
Rodman is underrated all time. He was a key member and defensive and rebounding anchor for 5 title teams. This was with the Bad Boys and the late 90s Bulls both arguably top 5 teams ever. He is a top 3 rebounder and top 5 defender of all time.
He had a lot of bad rept from SA when he came to Chicago, I even thought he wasn't going to fit in the team, and oh boy, I was so wrong. His team mates loved and respected him, and he gave it all, game after game. It was a beauty watching him play those 3 seasons, specialiy after what he went through with SA. I would have asked him what made that change, or who helped him to be so focused on his Bulls years.
Rodman himself said in another interview that bulls had 2 things that wants in a team. A respectable and winning coach and a team leader who plays both ends of the court.
I agree with him for one reason: Defense In Rodman, Jordan, Pippen, and Harper, that might be the most athletic/best defensive team ever. Who's a better athlete than Jordan or Rodman, at their peak? Phil Jackson at coach? Best 3pt% shooter EVER in Steve Kerr? And if they need a basket, they always have Michael Jordan. And if he misses, who's getting the rebound?
Harper is very over looked and underrated as not only a defender but a player. He gave up a lot to win on that team. With that said, I can't see any era of Basketball any set of rules that teams could beat them. Jordan, Pippen, Rodman. All 3 could give you DPOY quality defense. Jordan may be the best off ball or help defender I have ever seen. The amount of passes he swiped by reading other teams ball movement or knowing where the ball needed to go if ball handler was in trouble. Not mentioning the amount of blocks MJ would get coming to help particularly on big men. Here is the biggest difference also. All 3 of them could guard multiple positions. Ppl always think oh Chicago had shitty centers so playing Shaq each get 15 mins or so and 5 fouls. Well Jordan and Pippen could split time on a dominate scorer. Dennis could slide down a give a small forward fits and just have KUKOC play the 4 spot. So that also gives you wiggle room to split time, fouls, energy on guys that keep opponents rolling. If fouls weren't an issue MJ might switch with Harper and back end of games to put pressure on a certain guy etc. That team was a matchup night mare.
@@JoeSmith-iv3sf So is Randy Brown who was a defensive specialist. His full court traps on small guards were suffocating. Rodman directly contained Shaq, but i would have to say indirectly so did he because Shaq could not even get the ball and Brown was a big part of it, as one really good example.
If Jordan wasnt retire back in 1993,the Bulls could have won 2 more rings,8 consecutive.And the guy came out of retirement to play for the Wizards.One of the low seeded teams back in 2001.Imagine if instead of Wizards he joined Lakers.Easily 3 or 4 more rings.
RodZilla would have Draymond Green in the Crazy House by Halftime!! The mind games Rodman would play on Green would drive him Crazy!! By the end of the 2nd half, Draymond wouldn't get kicked out, but would willingly RUN off the court Crying for his Mommy!!!! lol!!! Bulls in 4 with 90's Rules, back when Defense wasn't banned. Bulls in 5 with today's "No Touch" rules. GS's 3pt shooting would win them one. Gentleman's Sweep.
The NBA used to run this TV promo, showing Rodman grabbing a rebound then outletting to Jordan flying down the court with Pippin on his right and Kukoc on his left. Poetry in motion.
It’s true: and Rodman is hands down the most underrated player ever. Dude guarded Shaq. Wtf that was so crazy to watch back then. He was almost in a three point lineman stance with his elbow up holding Diesel back...
What rodman said is true, no doubt about it! Chicago grew solid strong and wise as team! With MJ leading their way! It's a sure win because THEIR UNSTOPPABULLS! Yeah! Undisputed back to back to back to back to back to back! Champions!!💪💪💪💪💪👊👊👊👊👊🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Agreed. No team could stop Jordan from scoring, at will No team had a better spot up shooter than Steve Kerr, who has the all-time 3PT% record And no team had the defenders the Bulls had. Jordan, Pippen, Ron Harper and Rodman could stop anybody. The best defensive team ever
Seems like the dynamic he is trying to describe to us when he talks about them not speaking off the court is about having a mutual respect and professionalism for what they are doing which is wining games, meanwhile each of them had to deal with his own feelings of probably at the same time feeling like i'm the best but also i'm not the best and it would have been a %$^%load of pressure for someone in their position. so whatever they had to do to play their best game possible ,they did.
67 golden state fans were here. He is right, No one other than maybe.. the 92 Dream Team with Jordan at the Olympics could beat them and it would have been Jordan against Jordan and Pippen against Pippen. that would have been a game. Don't ever lose sight how good and key Scottie Pippen was, he was only 2nd to Jordan in the NBA. And remember, Rodman on most nights gave the best team ever another 10 to 15 extra shots a game with his offensive and defensive rebounding. You will never beat them giving them that.

A superior compact of a killing machine that has no Version 2 yet to date.
sonza68 yeah but he was soft in the paint which is why he is considered small.
You could play Rodman at center and play Kukoc at stretch 4. That would make the most sense.
kukoc, rodman, harper, jordan and pippen playing at the same time is an anomaly,. rodman is capable and strong enough to effectively guard centers/forwards from olajuwon to shaq to duncan and karl malone while also having the quickness to guard players like Jordan, Drexler,,.

@Barry McCockiner rodman can guard Durant . Bulls defense is what set them apart. Those warriors would not be able to play they game. 96 bulls is the second greatest team ever behind d 86 celtics
@Barry McCockiner warriors would not sweep those teams. Look what the rockets did. If rockets can take warriors to seven games just imagine what bulls would do. If Chris Paul would have not been injured then Houston would have beat warriors.lol u in your 20 s so u didn't see how feared the bulls were. Bull was more tougher and defense will s championship. 93 sun's that lost to bulls can get a win versus warriors because of the sun speed
@0:20
That's what I always said when I listen to some dumb kids today who say Jordan "rested" then came back. I always say " you guys are the most dumb/brainwashed" kids that I have ever seen. Let Kobe "rest" for 3 years and then come back at 40 and see how he does. Jordan did so many things that seem completely inhuman but to me, his first come back is THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT that I've ever seen in ANY SPORTS. People today (brainwashed by the media industry to make money) don't understand. The guy LEFT THE GAME IN HIS FUCKING PRIME FOR GOD'S SAKE !
I mean, it's a fucking movie scenario. Then he came back 2 years later IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ROSTER (outside of Pippen). By that time, the league HAD COMPLETELY CHANGED. There were new guys that dominated Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Shaquille O'neal, Olajuwon. Then the guy comes back in a different roster and he re-established himself as the HANDS DOWN BEST...AGAIN !?! Are you kidding me??? And you try to compare him to guys like Kobe, Lebron...come on man. Get the fuck out of here...
It just drives me CRAZY how much people take that for granted nowadays. As Rodman says, nowadays, people don't understand. And the reason why is all that hype, all that marketing, all that brainwashing, all the media..."the next MJ" thing. Come on, just think about it. The guy was already the BEST/GREATEST player of all time when he retired in 93. HE HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO GAIN AND EVERYTHING TO LOSE BY COMING BACK. There was no garantee that things would turn out so well. Yet, he did it and MADE IT LOOK SO FUCKING EASY to the point where some dumb people nowadays take it for granted. Well, I'm just glad I was there to witness it live and I knew... I was aware of what I was witnessing.
Megadrive word!!!
so true. completely agree with what you said.
and the proof of his potential rough road of comeback was on full display in 95. he wasnt fully in tune and the chemistry of the team wasnt there.
from a more in depth technical stand point jordan has always been far and ahead of all these stars people hype up so much nowadays. 93 being his first year of decline in athleticism he has already mastered the game in every aspect, let alone how athletic he still was even when he is on a slight decline. but the efficiency he has developed over the years as a scorer was already there and that's why he made it look so effortless. and it takes tremendous intelligence/talent and work ethic to get there. none of these young stars has ever had a more spectacular 10+ straight years of being a dominant players on both end like the way jordan did it and these young dumbfucks are blaming to lack of talents back then hahaha. i gave up defending that on youtube long ago knowing that the dumbest are the loudest but it is their loss to not be able to appreciate how amazing jordan was as a bball player.
the fact that he was able to establish oncourt harmony with dennis rodman is another thing that people don't get,. nobody wanted dennis during those years and in fact he was traded for a back up center and a late round draft pick.. look at dennis' career after chuck daly left the pistons,.nobody can handle his antics on and off the court,... dennis' career would have ended like AI's if jordan didn't get along with him like david robinson did,. Jordan was an extreme gambler who wanted to beat the odds more than he wanted to win,.
well said.
those kiddos are ignorant or just brainless
I agree I'm a huge jordan fan, I believe he his best all time. But lets not forget that pippen lead a mediocre team to 55 wins and a bad call from having chance to go back to finals, and then jordan comes back and ad rodman, my point being, it is easier to come back to team that nearly got there without you.
i love greg pop, but the first thing he do when become a head coach is to trade rodman. if he knew how to use him like phil did, things would be a lot different.
ugie88 if he knew how to use him they wouldn't have gotten the top pick to take duncan
The difference between Pop and Phil is that Pop requires certain personalities in his team, while Phil just needed talented guys of any sort and he could generally get them to play together. Pop was successful because he got the guys he wanted, they were talented, and they stayed healthy and out of trouble basically forever. Swap Pop for someone like Rick Carlisle and his terrible luck with the Pistons and Pacers and you'd swap their legacies too.
People used to say when comparing Phil to Red that Phil was luckier to have better teams. I think it's more indicative that he built at least three, arguably four, different team chemistries (91-93, 96-98, 00-02, 09-10) into champs, while Red had a single franchise with many of the same players in a decade long run of dominance, led by Bill Russell. Pop, with his North Star Tim Duncan, is more comparable to Red in that respect, he had more of the luck of being in the right place at the right time. It's harder to say that about Phil; he had great players, but no advantage of continuity.
Gregg pot faced poppobitch is nothing short of a liberal scumbag
lol pop is not even coaching at that time, get your facts straight
@@joeymanny he was the GM at that time.
He later became the coach a season later
The '96 Bulls would dominate and toy with the '16 Warriors.
Any team there is no team that would beat them, only one would give them a run for their money but still would of lost and that's the '86 Celtics.
I think mentaly the bulls can break them down ... Especially MJ and dennis
+jordan michael lebron and kyrie did that
The 26 Lakers will be far better, not to mention the 36 celtics
Then imagine how Lebitch would get toyed around
Greatest rebounder inhistory for his size. And, of course, defensive monster.
Everyone loves 72-10 1996 Championship Team!
Don't forget the year after, they went 69-12. That bulls team only lost 42 games in three years!! That's 42 out of 246 regular season games. They won 204 of those 246 regular season games and, 3 championships.
+207 207 actually it was 203 wins in 3 years but whose counting lol
*****
True lol thanks
+eye2thebeholder Do you think that Golden State have the potential to match those Bulls wins?
I want them to do well, because I like Curry. But I want that Bulls record to last forever! :-D
+1Flyingfist it's definitely possible problem is I see Cleveland beating them...then the fans say they beat the best team in history
This is awesome. We need more interviewers like this guy. Seriously.
+chronic2001n Thank you!
@0:53
Again, I love that he drops knowledge to the guys who discovered the nba 5 years ago and who think the nba started with twitter and things like that. The Chicago Bulls were FAR FROM BEING AMONG THE MOST TALENTED TEAM IN THE 90'S. Just look at their roster and look at the teams they faced. It was really a team work + Michael Jordan's magic who CARRIED THOSE TEAMS. So, refreshing to hear a Rodman say it publicly. Thank you Dennis Rodman. And I do know how much Jordan respects Rodman, his intensity, his athleticism, his hardwork...I was a fan too...
I'm not sure what team would be more talented. Forget two of the NBA's top 50 players of all time. Rodman (HOF), Tukoc, Longley, Kerr, Harper, and Bison Dele (RIP). 6 guys that would start for most other teams in the 90's Plus the amazing Jud Buechler, who was adept at a timely steal and a dagger tree pointer.
He said it, Michael, Dennis, Scottie and Kukoc. Kukoc played major role in those games. Watching those playoffs back then i was feeling secure knowing Kukoc was one of the player on the court. He can pass, he can drive to the basket, he can pass and he can clutch aside from Jordan and Kerr. For whatever it's worth, i'm glad he played in NBA, so the world knows his name. Not that European league was bas or anything but in most countries (i live in Indonesia) the only foreign basketball they air was NBA and that's usually during playoffs which i had to watch during my school class cause it's broadcasted live during the day :D
great interview
+Howard Brown Thanks, Howard!
The City of Houston should send MJ flowers every year for his love of baseball. Otherwise it would've been 8 in a row and we might have seen a flirtation with 82-0.
You are very stupid Jordan is very lucky that he didn't meet us in the final
@Fev Ola lmfao stop talking about yourself and mrockets beat Knicks who beat bulls and magic beat bulls while rockets swept them 4-0 keep crying making excusess Rockets beat Bulls more times who gonna stop Hakeem Pippin Jordan lol no Bull's had no answer for Hakeem but you must be a punk in denial Vernon mad Max was someone who could stop Jordan just look up their match ups Jordan had trouble with mad Max boy Jordan Bulls had real problems with Rockets plus in history record between Rocket's vs Bulls Rocket's own Bulls like I said Rocket's beat Bulls and would beat them in the NBA finals
Calm down Fev, Jordan did not destroyed the Knicks. The Knicks took the Bulls to 7 and 6 games during the first Bulls run. The reason the Knicks took the Rockets to 7 games is because the Knicks had Ewing to counter Olajuwon. Against Cartwright and Longley, Olajuwon would've gone off for 50-60 points easily.
Fev, you clearly do not understand how the Rockets played. Those guards and small forwards fed off of Olajuwon. If the opponent double team Olajuwon, he throws the ball back out to one of his many snipers. Cassell, Smith, Horry, Elie, and maybe Maxwell were superb shooters. Then the Rockets got Drexler a year later and the duo of Olajuwon and Drexler could easily match Jordan and Pippen.
@@donjohnson8120 pippenand Jordan got owned by Hakeam and Rocket's end of discussion
Im sooo glad i was able to watch the bulls in this era
Just with jordan pippen and rodman. That's 3 of the all-defensive team right there.
All three were top defenders for year's
Great sports interview. Another gem by Bensinger.
+No One thanks! We're just starting to put a lot of content on the channel...
+Graham Bensinger Just learned of you a few weeks ago. I've been watching past interviews ever since. Can't wait for more.
+No One If you have any interest, you can watch show weekly on tv and you can find out what channel/time it's on in your city by visiting my website... Thanks again!
Hey graham your interviews are one of the best out there I don't know why you don't have more subscribers. I'm sure you'll get more recognition as time goes by.
hear that guys? players on the bench were HITTING THEIR SHOTS. something today's teams don't understand.
Can't argue with that! Great team defense, Michael puts them over the top!
He's right. They weren't the most athletic team. But they knew their roles and they could find a way to beat any team even today.
I think that Bulls Team vs the ‘86 Celtics would be the best fantasy match of all time. ❤️💚
Good choice
Goat 🐐 one of my best memories growing up in the 90’s is getting ready with my family to watch the bulls as well as the show Rodman was going to put on because you knew every night Rodman was gonna come out and get under someone’s skin
Scottie Pippen is the reason those Bulls were so cohesive.
Best teammate in the history of any sport.... loyal, humble, driver, always present. no drama...
the best...
@Ulysses432, after the Toni game, Scottie grew a lot from the experience because Cartwright had a heart-to-heart conversation with him in the locker room. Scottie reflected and no longer let his ego get the best of him. He became zen-like on the floor and like Todd said, loyal and humble.
The team including Pippen took on Jordan mentality, hard work, toughness and confidence. Once they all got big contracts and without Jordan pushing them, they never met expectations. Pippen was just horrible
Rodman would have destroyed LeBron OMG
@dennis rodman, love the way u handle urself, ur hustle, and the respect u have and they (chicago) have for u...
its wonderful how he gave credit even to their bench players such as brown and buechler.ü
These are facts, I remember it like it was yesterday. When it was announced that Rodman was going to Chicago EVERYONE said that he was going to destroy the team. 3 straight championships, how you like them apples? 😂
Graham you're interviews are so engaging and more-ish!
Wow I love this channel
Graham has my fav interviews
+Yash Srivastava Thanks, Yash!
+Graham Bensinger I feel like I made it thanks for the reply, and keep making great sports interviews!
Nice to hear Rodman talk about team members that aren't just Michael and Scottie.
this is a great interview! subscribed immediately.
Dennis speaks the truth... they can beat any team today simply because today's NBA is weak🤔🤔🤔🤔 so much free movements.
Marion Gamboa dennis by himself could beat any team of today, everyone would just be crying in the corner feeling molested.
My top teams:
1. 96 Bulls
2. 2001 Lakers
3. Showtime Lakers (magic, jabbar)
4. 94 Rockets
5. 96 Sonics
6. GSW with durant
Put 83 Sixers at 2, Showtime 85 at 3, 86 Celtics at 4, 01 Lakers at 5.
Great interview! 👍
Michael, Scottie, Dennis and Kukoc. Thanks Dennis.
i feel like every team needs a Dennis Rodman type player because of the type of defense he brings to the table and the way he can get into so many opponents head to throw them of their game.
Dennis showing Jud Buechler mad love!
For all of. His crazy antics on and off the court this man was a genius on the court by far pound for pound inch for inch best defender and rebounder period
Rodman is underrated all time. He was a key member and defensive and rebounding anchor for 5 title teams. This was with the Bad Boys and the late 90s Bulls both arguably top 5 teams ever.
He is a top 3 rebounder and top 5 defender of all time.
Rodman should've won 96 Finals MVP
He had a lot of bad rept from SA when he came to Chicago, I even thought he wasn't going to fit in the team, and oh boy, I was so wrong.
His team mates loved and respected him, and he gave it all, game after game. It was a beauty watching him play those 3 seasons, specialiy after what he went through with SA.
I would have asked him what made that change, or who helped him to be so focused on his Bulls years.
same here.
Rodman himself said in another interview that bulls had 2 things that wants in a team. A respectable and winning coach and a team leader who plays both ends of the court.
The G.O.A.T...of Rebounding...PERIOD!!!
thanks for the interview graham...makes you unique in this sold out press...
While I wish I was as unique as you're saying, I definitely appreciate the kind words. Thanks, Benny!
+Graham Bensinger you are unique keep it up.....
God bless you man
I agree with him for one reason: Defense
In Rodman, Jordan, Pippen, and Harper, that might be the most athletic/best defensive team ever. Who's a better athlete than Jordan or Rodman, at their peak? Phil Jackson at coach? Best 3pt% shooter EVER in Steve Kerr?
And if they need a basket, they always have Michael Jordan. And if he misses, who's getting the rebound?
Harper is very over looked and underrated as not only a defender but a player. He gave up a lot to win on that team.
With that said, I can't see any era of Basketball any set of rules that teams could beat them.
Jordan, Pippen, Rodman. All 3 could give you DPOY quality defense. Jordan may be the best off ball or help defender I have ever seen. The amount of passes he swiped by reading other teams ball movement or knowing where the ball needed to go if ball handler was in trouble. Not mentioning the amount of blocks MJ would get coming to help particularly on big men.
Here is the biggest difference also. All 3 of them could guard multiple positions. Ppl always think oh Chicago had shitty centers so playing Shaq each get 15 mins or so and 5 fouls.
Well Jordan and Pippen could split time on a dominate scorer. Dennis could slide down a give a small forward fits and just have KUKOC play the 4 spot. So that also gives you wiggle room to split time, fouls, energy on guys that keep opponents rolling. If fouls weren't an issue MJ might switch with Harper and back end of games to put pressure on a certain guy etc. That team was a matchup night mare.
@@JoeSmith-iv3sf
So is Randy Brown who was a defensive specialist. His full court traps on small guards were suffocating. Rodman directly contained Shaq, but i would have to say indirectly so did he because Shaq could not even get the ball and Brown was a big part of it, as one really good example.
Get them all together then Dennis and see how far you go.
Total Agree!!
If Jordan wasnt retire back in 1993,the Bulls could have won 2 more rings,8 consecutive.And the guy came out of retirement to play for the Wizards.One of the low seeded teams back in 2001.Imagine if instead of Wizards he joined Lakers.Easily 3 or 4 more rings.
We didn't need Jordan to get 4 more rings.
RodZilla would have Draymond Green in the Crazy House by Halftime!! The mind games Rodman would play on Green would drive him Crazy!! By the end of the 2nd half, Draymond wouldn't get kicked out, but would willingly RUN off the court Crying for his Mommy!!!! lol!!!
Bulls in 4 with 90's Rules, back when Defense wasn't banned.
Bulls in 5 with today's "No Touch" rules. GS's 3pt shooting would win them one. Gentleman's Sweep.
Rodman a.i and mcgrady are my favorites salute
THE 1996 , 1997 , 1998 CHICAGO BULLS TEAM WOULD BEAT ANY TEAM FOR SURE. pleaseee dont even try and say that the golden state team can ..
+Jae Ho Song 96 yh 97 90% 98 I highly highly doubt it
+FOREVER AMBITIOUS yap in 98 Scottie injured, MJ's FT% first time below 80%. But Rodman still Rodman.
Black Star yh 96 no doubt even 97 I'm sure but that 98 team in my view was the worst of all the championship teams
2001 lakers would give them a run for their money
+Hasad Chaarab They wouldn't beat em though. But yeah that team is the second best ever, they would get as close as anybody
The NBA used to run this TV promo, showing Rodman grabbing a rebound then outletting to Jordan flying down the court with Pippin on his right and Kukoc on his left. Poetry in motion.
DREAM matchup: the '86 Celtics vs. the '96 Bulls. Would give anything to go to basketball heaven and watch that series.
“MUCH RESPECT DENNIS AND YOU ARE CORRECT “ DENNIS ONE THE GREATEST I.ASUMI
Bulls may not have 3-peated the second time without Rodman.
I doubt it.
it would have been tough.
Does not happen without Rodman
subtitles please
Rodman!!! My Bulls were already great but they got greater when Rodman joined the squad!
It’s true: and Rodman is hands down the most underrated player ever. Dude guarded Shaq. Wtf that was so crazy to watch back then. He was almost in a three point lineman stance with his elbow up holding Diesel back...
Rodman fever >
What rodman said is true, no doubt about it! Chicago grew solid strong and wise as team! With MJ leading their way! It's a sure win because THEIR UNSTOPPABULLS! Yeah! Undisputed back to back to back to back to back to back! Champions!!💪💪💪💪💪👊👊👊👊👊🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Dennis is way beyond his time. Rocking the ed hardy head to toe like an OG
The worms intensity and passion, heart and fight was 2nd to none. And the manz not lien.
When ever the toughest veterans talk, please listen to them, they know what they are talking about.
Team speaks! The feel, teamwork, understanding of every players, style of play, characters. The closest team right now comparable is GSW.
can you do a interview with Scottie pippen also
Awesome
Rodman is always above the fashion culture. Other thn tht hes a great defensive player
dennis is right about how everyone on the bulls knows their part and they play it well!! there is no selfishness.
His voice sounds like mine when I’m taking a shit and tryna talk to someone on the other side of the door hahaha
Agreed. No team could stop Jordan from scoring, at will
No team had a better spot up shooter than Steve Kerr, who has the all-time 3PT% record
And no team had the defenders the Bulls had.
Jordan, Pippen, Ron Harper and Rodman could stop anybody. The best defensive team ever
Would have been an interesting matchup vs the 2004 Pistons.
Seems like the dynamic he is trying to describe to us when he talks about them not speaking off the court is about having a mutual respect and professionalism for what they are doing which is wining games, meanwhile each of them had to deal with his own feelings of probably at the same time feeling like i'm the best but also i'm not the best and it would have been a %$^%load of pressure for someone in their position. so whatever they had to do to play their best game possible ,they did.
Probably
He is telling the truth
He said they are friends but then he said they never talked I’m confused
He won 7 consecutive rebounding titles, greatest rebounder pound for pound in NBA history!
Yes!
why not just put one sitting interview into one long episode? Great interviews!
Man Rodman is One scary guy waiting for the ball almost always on time.
The best rebounder the Bulls had and maybe the best so far.
Yes!!! With Phil, Michael, Scottie, Dennis' mindsets, they can beat any nba teams nowadays!
Love to see them beat the 18-19 warriors with an all star at every position....
67 golden state fans were here. He is right, No one other than maybe.. the 92 Dream Team with Jordan at the Olympics could beat them and it would have been Jordan against Jordan and Pippen against Pippen. that would have been a game. Don't ever lose sight how good and key Scottie Pippen was, he was only 2nd to Jordan in the NBA. And remember, Rodman on most nights gave the best team ever another 10 to 15 extra shots a game with his offensive and defensive rebounding. You will never beat them giving them that.
The BEST DEFENSIVE TRIO in NBA History
MJ , SCOTTIE and DENNIS Form Chicago Bulls a Great Tem
LBJ is Great Individual
The Bulls is a Great Team
people don't understand how great MJ was at his prime
Domino answer me 1 question and be honest ? 1&9 before pippen arrived he did not win those chips by himself but yet
se
He's right.
Dennis "The Worm" Rodman makes the WHOLE PLAYER of the Bulls' team IMPORTANT- which is.. they really were.
