Kobe was not a killer yet, Phil Jackson was Bulls coach lakers coach was a nobody. The bench was not that good in 99, the lakers were going no where and eventually would have asked to be traded.
First thing I thought of. I was like yeah right the Bulls would have killed then. Then I started thinking. I am a Pacers fan. Those Pacers back then came close to beating the Bulls in the playoffs. You saw what the Lakers did in the first finals. So maybe his Lakers do have a chance. I think it would be very close but it is hard to argue against 6 and 0. Bulls win in 7 games.
@@adamsamuel8593 Yo bro, your comment makes no sense at all. They are talking and the 2000's Lakers and 90's Bulls. You are rambling about 1999. I really have no clue what team you are talking about or what what point you are trying to make.
Yea saw a vid were Rodman guarded him second half after Shaq had 26 pts in the first. Shaq finished the game with 30 or less after Rodman was on him lol
I wouldn't say MUCH SMALLER, but just a little smaller though. Rodman was still Big Himself though. He didn't have to be a Shaq Big in order to be a Big Guy. Rodman was still very Tall, and Muscular Built himself, but yes he could guard Shaq very easily though it's kind of like he was the same exact size as Shaq I guess in a way, because of how good he could cover Shaq on defense Rodman was definitely a Beast.
Eh... Jordan didn't win until the Lakers, Celtics and Pistons got old and rule changes were put in place. After that he dominated a watered down league that even started playing down (and eventually losing on occasion) to international competition.
@@r.j.w7924 watered down league?! You're stupid. You literally just went thru a decade of super teams and you wanna talk about watered down.

@DisDatSplahhh H ´ Nope, but there were multiple examples of Denis slowing him down, the pinnacle of this being a game in 97 with Shaq already on the Lakers when he had 26 at the half on Luc Longley and Bill Wennington. From the start of the third quarter, Rodman started guarding him and Shaq only had 2 points from that point on (even in a game that went into overtime) plus Rodman killed him on the boards (19 to 11, with 5 of those being offensive rebounds)

@DisDatSplahhh H That's just how many points he scored each game can't be guarding him 24/7 Shaqs 3-13 against Rodman and 0-4 in the playoffs when it mattered that's all you need to know
Exactly this is so stupid. I would definitely favor the 1996 Bulls over the 2001 Lakers if that’s what the argument is, but that is a 6 or 7 game series. MJ never even swept a team in the finals and for me there’s no doubt that the 2001 Lakers were better than any finals opponent. And I think Shaq makes a very valid point. Who was the best center the Bulls ever beat in a finals series? Vlade Divac? Obviously they topped Ewing numerous times but he wasn’t on Shaqs level nor was his supporting cast as good as the Lakers. Idk I think that would be a really interesting series even if I’d ultimately pick the Bulls. I get the Last Dance is coming out but come on Jordan isn’t that much better than every other player who’s ever lived, they’re just feeding a myth at this point.
@Jon Davis I think they were great but the defense the bulls had with that offense was crazy. N Ron Harper was with bulls first. Younger Harper played good defense n scored when needed. Kukoc over horry any day.
After mj lost to the pistons in game 7 of the 90 conference finals, everytime he played a full season they won the championship until he retired from the bulls
Bill Russell is the greatest defender of all time and there's a pretty decent separation between him and whoever you want to put at #2. I wasn't aware there was even a debate on that subject.
He was the best defender in his era . The reason why it seems that 90s players were better defenders is because they could hand check. Imagine if kawhi could hand check
hihahiha huhiha what history?? They never faced eachother! Didn’t pippen in the blazers get slapped by the lakers?YES!, rodman was already done by the time the lakers won first chip, LEARN THE HISTORY!
If he was an 80 % free throw shooter he might have been the best player of all time. It is hard to over state how the foul shooting woes held him back.

People forget how deep the bulls are. Scotty Pippen is criminally underrated. First Team all NBA defense shoe in, very well rounded player. Rodman owned the boards and played great defense, Jordan was an amazing defender. Steve Kerr was a lights out shooter. Ron Harper and Toni Kukoc were solid subs. That team was insane.

18magicMARKer It wasn’t just Kobe. The whole team was fucked up. Shaq and Kobe wanted to literally kill each other, and their team were going through horrifying injuries. The reason Kobe shot so much was because he was super jealous of Shaq always getting FMVP. So Kobe thought he could get it if he scored the most points. It’s a miracle the 2004 Lakers even made it to the finals. But yeah. It’s a big story, but it wasn’t all Kobe. It was Shaq, and Kobe’s jealously towards each other that ruined their chemistry.

Engineer you referencing the entire series on the kobe lob to shaq isnt “destroying” pip, one of the best defenders in nba history. Kobe was averaging 20 pts that series, not necessarily “killing” pip.
Gotta show Kobe and Phil respect, that’s why he said this. Obviously his ego still there but he said that as a complement to his teammate and coach I bet.

Agree..I'll have to add that Mutombo was a major help on the Defensive side tho. Besides Bulls defense alone wouldve been too much for Lakers just like the 04 Pistons were too much.
Saw some of the videos of rodman guarding Shaq. Rodman fouling the heck out of Shaq everytime he guarded him. Rodeman would easily foul out in the 2000s era.
@M The series against the Bulls/Rockets/Pistons were almost exclusively a function of his teammates playing poorly and below standards. Shaq didn't get locked down or dominated at all. 1995 NBA Finals: 28/13/6 on 60 percent shooting (albeit, w/5 turnovers a game) 1996 ECFs: 27/11 on 64 percent shooting 2004 Finals: 27/11 on 63 percent shooting Obviously no one is perfect, Shaq had flaws in his game like any player, but none of those series losses can be tied back to him in a reasonable way.
Shaq didn't get swept by the Rockets. The Magic got swept by the Rockets. In 1996, he put up 27/11 on 64 percent shooting against the Bulls while his version of main role players (Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson) shot a combined 29 percent (seriously...29 percent). It's pretty much impossible to beat a legendary team when your main role players give an F-level performance.
@@kingcharles3508 they tweakin. Thats what happens when u glorify the bulls and MJ. Kobe could have neutralized MJ to some degree and Shaq would be dominant in the paint. The bulls had better role players but it definitely would be a competitive series

I love Shaq but he’s stretching on this one. To say they’d “easily” beat them that’s not going to happen. It might have been close but I’d still give this series to the bulls.
I think the Lakers would win. The Bulls are a better team and I would favor them over almost any other team. But the Lakers have a tremendous advantage in Shaq that cannot be stopped by anyone o' the Bulls. Rodman could do it with a younger Shaq, but prime Shaq was smarter. Either way it would be a hard fought series.

The Lakers wouldn't have anyone to deal Pippen or Rodman. If you want to include him. It would be close. It would have been a classic. But Chicago would have won.
@@kahlilsykies9139 I don't know, I mean Rodman isn't much of an offensive threat either way. Also Kobe and Jordan almost neutralize each other, MJ is better offensively but not defensively, they're on the same level defensively. I guess we'll just have to invent a time machine😁
So? Even if shaq was a different beast in 2000s he can still slow down because of Rodman... You know 1996 shaq is as close as 2000 shaq in terms of stats alone and he is on athletic prime with Prime penny feeding him in the post and a 64 win magic team... But they did not even win one game in the playoffs vs bulls... 4-0 and thats why your shaq run away to west side...
Yea and about that you know 1998 lakers with 4 all star? Thats a big ol shaq u talkin about.. but yea they were swept by jazz team lmaoo with ostertag as a center..
Qbaby It’s a reason why Rodman is considered to be in the conversation of best defensive player ever. It’s easy to get into Shaq’s head, yeah he would of scored some easy points, but with Rodman on him, he would be out of his element. Only because the smaller guy is neutralizing everything he is doing, just because Shaq is big and heavy, he does not have that much skill, and that’s what Rodman would have took advantage of.
Kobe was still all NBA-1st team, All NBA- First defensive team, and averaging 40 in the playoffs in spurts during the 3-peat. Stephen A. was making him seem like he was barely a star during the 3-peat lmao.
People are underestimating the lakers they won some of the hardest championships ever around that time the west had 50 win teams as the 8th seed around that time period
And this is what people need to remember about Jordan (which they seemed to forget about Kobe so often), Jordan had some FANTASTIC help! Legendary lineup, all-time greats, though definitely not Jordan-level great. So when people used to dog Kobe saying "he couldn't do it without Shaq!" it made no sense. In recent memory, the Mavs with Dirk were one of the handful of teams that had 1 star & a bunch of role players. Everyone else had great casts to help win a ring.
The bulls was stack in every position and they had the number one defense people think it's just Jordan yes he had them playing at another level in they prime the lakes wouldn't beat them especially Shaq plus the bulls was unstoppable and intelligent they would have known Shaq can't shoot a free throw to save his life so with that defense they would put two big men on him and four him out and make him get fustrated koby would have gotten his and did his thank but he can't beat the bulls by his self plus that defense was roughing people up and getting in your face
Shaq has averaged 26.8 points per game, 13.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks against Rodman while shooting 54 percent from the field over their careers. In the playoffs it was almost the same stat line, except Shaq was shooting 64 percent from the field while averaging 27. I wouldn't exactly call that "shutting him down" and let's not forget Rodman NEVER guarded prime Shaq (2000-2006) who won four championships. The Worm is amazing, one of the best defenders and rebounders ever, but no one can guard Shaq in his prime when he was with the Lakers who Rodman never faced. MJ's Bulls is probably the best team ever but the only squad that can beat them in my opinion is Shaq and Kobe's Lakers that became a dynasty. That Lakers was special, they would have had a really good chance.
@@1BALINT1 Lebron averaged 28 in the 2014 finals but was shutdown by Kawhi who won finals MVP because of it, statpadding to get points isn't a valid argument. Bring a head to head stat when Rodman was guarding Shaq, that's the argument.
Probably still the bulls. Jordan was shooting 43% from 3 that year so he would be fine in a 3 point shootout if it came to that and he would hound curry up and down the court. The 96 bulls had 3 players first team all defense . Pippen would guard KD. Rodman would probably gaurd klay.

monster dogg If you are watching that man called Shaq and heard him just mention Luke Longley and Bill Cartwright and Bill Wellington and how he could not be stopped by them.. The truth is the Bulls used Dennis Rodman to control the energy of Shaq. The rebound game would see Rodman abusing the Lakers and putting Shaq in foul trouble. The idea that anyone else would get more rebounds than Rodman is ridiculous or outlet pass the ball better is obsurd... as slow and strong Shaq will never claim he dominated Rodman as he will not have one game of evidence in his entire career.( look up every game they played each other on any team in which they opposed each other and you will see the facts that the matchup was quick and strong Rodman won more of those games 75% ...

Rickey Jones You have to remember, whenever the Lakers did lose with Shaq/Kobe it was typically in embarrassing fashion. If you are a Lakers fan, you know this to be true.
There will always be talks of what could have been. That’s how great the Jordan’s bulls were. If 20+ years later you’re comparing yourself to them, chances are you’re gonna lose, that’s how good they are. The incomparable example team vs their endless shadow teams (Shaqs lakers, 2016 warriors, Big 3 Heat) all good teams but suffer in comparison.
For the millionth time, let’s set the record straight: There was Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls and there was everyone else. Go as far as you’d like in the time line. It won’t make a difference.
Shaq could never get the best of Dennis whenever they matched up there is a whole hour video of it I watched this morning it made me really happy to see someone bully shaq
Y’all really hold on to ONE game like it’s a lifeboat. And it was one half if we are honest. How is Rodman shutting down Shaq for one half for every matchup they’ve ever had enough to say he can shut down PRIME Shaq for a series. Hey Jordan got shutdown by Starks one time in 93 I guess that meant the Knicks would have killed the 94 Bulls even with Jordan.
I remember watching a mike tyson video where deontay wilder said he would've beaten him in their primes and tyson said he doesnt blame him for saying that because wilder truly believes he's the best and that's how a champion should behave and talk. I think shaq also has that mentality. Both great teams but we'll never know?
This all depends on which Bulls. If it was the first 3-peat bulls, series would go to game 5, Bulls win. If it is second 3 peat bulls, then it would be a 7 game series with Bulls winning. Bulls just had all the right pieces.
shaq has an issue with sticking his foot in his mouth way too often. that was just his pride getting in his way. he’ll be reminded by the 10 part documentary 😉
Hokage Itachi Uchiha Rodman wouldn’t even have to shut Shaq down...He would’ve just had to contain him to 12-15 points and go crazy on the boards....If Rodman is running the court too, Shaq would get gassed....
But they lost to shaq if me and u play 2 series I win the first then u go get Dennis Rodman and beat me the 2nd series I'm pretty sure I'm not blowing smoke when I say me and my boy Kobe can beat u we may not agree with it but he has the resume and beat Jordan first before such a move to have the right to say that

I wouldn't say MUCH SMALLER, but just a little smaller though. Rodman was still Big Himself though. He didn't have to be a Shaq Big in order to be a Big Guy. Rodman was still very Tall, and Muscular Built himself, but yes he could guard Shaq very easily though it's kind of like he was the same exact size as Shaq I guess in a way, because of how good he could cover Shaq on defense Rodman was definitely a Beast.

Exactly this is so stupid. I would definitely favor the 1996 Bulls over the 2001 Lakers if that’s what the argument is, but that is a 6 or 7 game series. MJ never even swept a team in the finals and for me there’s no doubt that the 2001 Lakers were better than any finals opponent. And I think Shaq makes a very valid point. Who was the best center the Bulls ever beat in a finals series? Vlade Divac? Obviously they topped Ewing numerous times but he wasn’t on Shaqs level nor was his supporting cast as good as the Lakers. Idk I think that would be a really interesting series even if I’d ultimately pick the Bulls. I get the Last Dance is coming out but come on Jordan isn’t that much better than every other player who’s ever lived, they’re just feeding a myth at this point.

Qbaby It’s a reason why Rodman is considered to be in the conversation of best defensive player ever. It’s easy to get into Shaq’s head, yeah he would of scored some easy points, but with Rodman on him, he would be out of his element. Only because the smaller guy is neutralizing everything he is doing, just because Shaq is big and heavy, he does not have that much skill, and that’s what Rodman would have took advantage of.
Shaq acts like Dennis Rodman didn't exist
the black guy who likes Eminem but Shaq is referring to the 72-10 bulls. Rodman was not on that team.
Samuel L. Woods II he was on that team

So when people used to dog Kobe saying "he couldn't do it without Shaq!" it made no sense. In recent memory, the Mavs with Dirk were one of the handful of teams that had 1 star & a bunch of role players. Everyone else had great casts to help win a ring.

Did Shaq forgot Rodman shutting him down in 96
Jefe as a baby
Shaq averaged 27 pts against the Bulls in the 96 playoffs. This "Rodman stopped Shaq" narrative needs to stop.
Shaq has averaged 26.8 points per game, 13.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks against Rodman while shooting 54 percent from the field over their careers. In the playoffs it was almost the same stat line, except Shaq was shooting 64 percent from the field while averaging 27. I wouldn't exactly call that "shutting him down" and let's not forget Rodman NEVER guarded prime Shaq (2000-2006) who won four championships. The Worm is amazing, one of the best defenders and rebounders ever, but no one can guard Shaq in his prime when he was with the Lakers who Rodman never faced. MJ's Bulls is probably the best team ever but the only squad that can beat them in my opinion is Shaq and Kobe's Lakers that became a dynasty. That Lakers was special, they would have had a really good chance.
Yeah key word 96 not 01 shaq
@@1BALINT1 Lebron averaged 28 in the 2014 finals but was shutdown by Kawhi who won finals MVP because of it, statpadding to get points isn't a valid argument. Bring a head to head stat when Rodman was guarding Shaq, that's the argument.
73-9 Warriors + KD & healthy Boogie vs 72-10 Bulls, who wins?
Probably still the bulls. Jordan was shooting 43% from 3 that year so he would be fine in a 3 point shootout if it came to that and he would hound curry up and down the court. The 96 bulls had 3 players first team all defense . Pippen would guard KD. Rodman would probably gaurd klay.
Warriors sweep.

Romel Villaruel you smoking crack or something?
monster dogg If you are watching that man called Shaq and heard him just mention Luke Longley and Bill Cartwright and Bill Wellington and how he could not be stopped by them.. The truth is the Bulls used Dennis Rodman to control the energy of Shaq. The rebound game would see Rodman abusing the Lakers and putting Shaq in foul trouble. The idea that anyone else would get more rebounds than Rodman is ridiculous or outlet pass the ball better is obsurd... as slow and strong Shaq will never claim he dominated Rodman as he will not have one game of evidence in his entire career.( look up every game they played each other on any team in which they opposed each other and you will see the facts that the matchup was quick and strong Rodman won more of those games 75% ... So your hypothesis that Shaq would have Bodied Rodman is without any fact check.. You sound like you were too young chronologically to have seen those games I am referencing and you are trying to use imagination instead.
@@1NAOT a lot of these people think Shaq shot 100% on his FGA and he could get any buckets he wanted because they heard all these stories about Shaq being the most dominant force the NBA has ever seen, which is true btw, but still, the game doesn't play out like that in reality.

Wilt is the greatest stat padder in nba history. you do not average 50 ppg by sharing the ball. did his team win a ring when he average 50? no. thats because basketball is a team sport not a solo sport like boxing or golf. if selfish play hurts your teams chance to win a ring you are not greatest. 2-4 with only 1 Finals MVP for his career? you know what that means, right? in 4 Finals appearances Wilt was best player on court *once* . the other three times he was outplayed by somebody else. how can the greatest ever be outplayed on nbas biggest stage? learn your basketball

Depends on what you consider "his prime". Isaiah's Pistons beat them three years in a row and Bird's Celtics two times in a row (both sweeps). So, when did his prime start? Also, don't forget to mention stuff about MJ's indominitable will that wouldn't accept defeat and all. Or, was it as simple as - once his team was stacked he went on a tear (just like everybody else?).
Okay and Jordan didn’t win a chip when shaq was in his prime so this argument is retarded lol. Jordan faced a young shaq. He got eliminated from the playoffs by young shaq and then the following year swept young shaq in the playoffs. So let’s not act like Jordan didn’t take Ls to shaq lol and a non prime shaq too.

They would have looked at Curry and Durants skinny frame and make him run lots of ball screens and they would make sure they would feel elbows and make him defend which none can't do very well and he and Curry would get punished physically. They would be down with injuries midway through the playoffs.

2. Could Shaq handle Rodmans mind games?

@@chiefchiefer5005 Of course the Bulls made it to the playoffs. That means nothing. They may have lost their best player but were still a very good playoff quality team from top to bottom. Fact is they were beaten by a Knicks team in the 2nd Round that they had routinely DOMINATED in seasons prior. Ok, he led the Bulls in scoring...of course he did. Who else was going to? The point is Scottie was a number TWO guy AT BEST and it was made obvious after Jordan left. He refused to play the final 2 seconds of a hugely important Game 3 against the Knicks with the score tied because the play wasn't called for him.
