@@reformedgringle show us the super teams in the 90's then. Go ahead, I'll take your argument apart right in front of you. I never compared the 90's to todays league. You did! I was merely pointing out why the bulls won so many rings. It was a joke of a league. The real super teams were in the 1980's with LAL, Boston, Detroit, Philadelphia and even Houston. The bulls didn't have to contend with a super talented league like that. Teams in the 90's had basically one star on it and the bulls simply had the deepest bench in the league, is why they won all of those rings. And to prove that point further, look at all of the teams they faced in the finals? Anyone could make it to the finals in those days. The 90's was watered down man and you know it!

Murasan was a legit threat before his injuries, not just tall. He was voted most improved in 1995. 14.5ppg, 9.total rebound , 3.3 offensive. 2.3 block on 58% shooting. Not only 7’7” with 7’10” wingspan but probably about 330 or 340 then and strong. He was a very tough inside force offensively, tough on the boards, and defensively disruptive.

Rodman actually going at a literal giant, he is crazy lol

[@Eddvard90]

LOL! Giants are mostly gentle, like Murasan. The thug Rodman should've been sent of in this game

The Worm feared no man ,the baddest of the Bad Boys and 5 rings to prove it .

looks like he feared a lot here😂

Wilt would of eaten him up and down the court

[@StrueSlies]

@@tynao2029 N'all, no fear, he was smart enough not to go too far with a GIANT

[@gocanada23]

Every time Rodman was upset it was usually cuz he just caught an elbow in the chin from Big Gheorghe.

[@dsfs17987]

but he's so tall that whenever he raises his arm a bit the elbow is at Rodmans head height, and Rodmans head is there to catch it of course, Rodman very well knew what and why he was doing, it just didn't work out, refs also know him :D

[@holliswilliams8426]

seems like the gheorghe is deliberately not being very controlled with his elbows

[@tynao2029]

@@holliswilliams8426 its Rodman, he deserves it😄

[@TurkeyMaze]

Facts. So many people in these comments think Rodman is doing it for no reason. Blind idiots.

[@targetegrat]

Wouldn't be surprised if Rodman read the Art of War. He was so good at getting inside the opponents head.

The eighties and nineties NBA was stellar and full of gladiators.

Rodman is deff that one friend you love hanging out with,but if you do you know your getting trouble lmao!

[@kavienjay8]

Once Rodman gets in your head he lives there, whether it be slapping Zo on the ass or continuously tripping up / pulling Malone to the floor. Only player I ever saw guard Shaq in iso, no double just one forearm in his back without budging when Shaq was in diesel mode. Worm !

[@dutchvanderlinde4653]

No he doesn’t

[@worldserpent731]

Rodman supports su

[@shelleyinthecity]

Actually it is the other way around. It certainly appears like Muresan got in Rodman's head.

[@jamesxavier-sparks]

He spends vacations there!

​@@dutchvanderlinde4653 Yes,he does !

[@SkankHuntForty2]

Part of Dennis Rodman's job was to be obnoxious to piss off the other team and throw them off their game.

[@sstone01]

dude was so freakin tall that just his natural block out always put his bows in someones face. How do you penalize someone for that? Rodman clearly worked the situation to his favor on that one.

[@holliswilliams8426]

no he is definitely taking advantage of his height to throw his elbows around knowing his elbows are at face height of most of the other players, watch again

[@koraungates938]

One thing about it, in spite of Rodman's issues, the fans still didn't go home disappointed, because the bulls were still the winners. Plus, whoever got Rodman's jersey must have gone home extra happy!

Rodman got shit on by Georghe Muresan

[@goranvisnjic2071]

It's very hard to play against the guy who is that big. Denis did a great job as always.

[@NoName-zb1gm]

90's NBA basketball was a trollfest with guys like Rodman going overboard with the defense trying to manhandle people.

[@sweeneytod1]

Rodman is the bravest person I have seen. He did not care about these actual giants.

[@mikiscoo]

The bias in the announcers there at around the 5:00 mark is how I remember it as a teenager. They HATED Rodman for his playstyle and personality. Brutal how obvious it is.

[@tynao2029]

Rodman was trash, always was always will be😂

[@shacaylagreen405]

Rodman is hilarious 😂😂 .

[@stephengreen5865]

rodman is a top ten defense player

[@koraungates938]

Part of Rodman's strategy was to get in his opponents' heads, and that actually worked. At the same time, he still did his job. The Bulls benefited very well with him.

[@tynao2029]

Rodman was scared asf🤣 dude ran the other direction

[@mcstaford]

The BEST defender to EVER take the floor!! His "antics" were his genius.

[@RetroNBA42]

I’m sorry he was a great 1 on one defender but his impact isn’t even close to Bill Russell’s

[@user-qj3je2ld3l]

Russel was 6'10, playing against weak white boys. Excluding Centers, Rodman was up against monsters like, KG, Kemp, Barkley, Oakley, Malone etc. arguebly the greatest defender / rebounder in his era.

[@hmhm856]

That was a nice roster Washington had in 1996-1997. Then next season (1997-1998) they became the Wizards This was also Washington's first winning season in ages, and also their first postseason appearance in like a decade (1987-1988 season was the last time that Washington made the postseason, when they made the postseason with a losing record and lost to the Pistons in the first round). Surprisingly, that 1987-1988 team almost upset the Pistons in the first round, despite a losing record., thanks to an experienced roster. Next time that Washington made the postseason again after this first round loss to the Bulls in 1996-1997 was in the 2004-2005 season, in the Gilbert Arenas era So yeah, it was a ROUGH two decades for Washington basketball, with just 2-3 playoff appearances in 20 years.
