What Rodman did more than anything is induce a sort of chaos and panic which caused opponents to make bad decisions on offense. There's no stat for that.

[@ztoxtube]

5:11 just look how frustrated Shaq gets, throwing his giant bison body around.

[@marksamuelsoncable]

+ztoxtube What we see here though is mainly a case of Rodman understanding weaknesses in Shaq's game (Rodman obsessively watched tape of other players looking for weaknesses to exploit) and also a case of Rodman being freakishly strong. 100% he knew Shaq's offensive game was predicated on continuously backing his man down until he could get close to the basket to shoot a short hook. Rodman made a concerted effort to keep Shaq away from getting into his relatively small comfort zone near the basket. Rodman was giving total resistance in terms of strength most times O'Neal tried so much as to back him down one step - and he forced Shaq to attempt to back him down further away from the basket than where most other defenders would usually allow O'Neal to start doing his back-down routine.

[@nightrider85]

I watched this game on tv when it was played. Rodman was kind of a love or hate guy. His antics were often quite frustrating to opponents, so if he wasn't on your team, chances are you didnt like him. But I was a huge Bulls fan. I was skeptical when they got him that his style and lack of scoring was what the bulls needed. But his energy was off the charts, and if there was a 50/50 ball in play, it always seemed like he came up with it. Nobody can deny his heart, legendary hustle, and his swag. Man was absolutely a hall of famer and to be honest, his defense on Shaq and others was some of the best I had seen. Think of how he rattled Kemp, Barkley, Malone, any of the days other stars. That allowed Scottie and Michael to do their stuff and not worry about the mess inside. It was rough down there in the box and I think they needed Dennis to be banging around and getting fouls on the other teams bigs to swing games. He was a complete A$$ but the man had unreal cardio if you ever saw him live the man simply could run anyone in the NBA out of the gym on any given night and I mean anyone!

[@jyashin]

Actually, rebounding is all about positioning. Quickness to get to a good position, and an innate talent of knowing where a ball is likely to bounce (given distance and direction of the shot) are more important than pure strength. When Shaq simply backed Rodman down, the Bulls doubled. No amount of quickness or positioning can overcome pure strength there.

[@NobodyTouchesJordan]

A lot of Shaq fans are whining that the Bulls were doubling and tripling Shaq in the 2nd half, so Rodman didn't really shut him down. The only reason the doubles and triples were effective in the first place is because Rodman prevented Shaq from getting deep position and made him take way too long to post up. You'll notice on the first 2 plays that Shaq scored on Wennington, Jordan tried doubling on Shaq, but with Wennington on him, Shaq had an easy time getting deep position, backing him down and taking a quick shot before the doubles could do anything. Even with the help defense, it's accurate to say Rodman was the main reason Shaq got shut down because his initial defense was the only reason the doubles and triples had enough time to make Shaq a passer. If it was Wennington guarding him the whole second half, Shaq would have kept backing him down before the double teams could do anything.

When Dennis was on he was awesome. I wish the CHI team stayed together this could’ve been an amazing finals come 99/2000. Oh well. Great time miss this NBA.

0 point/s with a double digit number of rebounds, he was built for it

[@avestudio8899]

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

Stupid announcer. Rodman should not take the bait under the circumstances, but consider that first he eats an elbow to the neck fighting for position--no complaint. Then he grabs the rebound, calls time; the ball is grabbed from him from behind??? No big issue yet, but he is getting hot. Then Scottie grabs him, but Shaq comes over and puts hands on him--for what? Does the announcer say "stupid Shaq?"

[@jetlife4life126]

the broadcaster is clearly a laker fan.

[@moonman9705]

+JetLife 4 Life Idiot he's a Laker legend, Lakers broadcast team, Kcal 9 channel. Wow where have idiots been. In the U.S. there are multiple media outlets that cover games. This is clearly a Lakers broadcast. Chick Hearn even has a statue outside of Staples Center.

[@jetlife4life126]

+Moon Man Walt Frazier is a KNICKS legend and knicks announcer and he doesn't call the knicks games from a biased point of view.. so being a laker legend isn't a pass for being a biased announcer.

[@drmotorboatjones]

+JetLife 4 Life I still don't think you're getting it. Chick Hearn isn't just a Laker Legend, he's a broadcasting legend. He was calling games way before Clyde was even in the league and didn't miss a game in over 36 years. The man came up with the term- Slam Dunk. Plus, I listen to Clyde call Knick games....he still thinks he's Nipsey Russell. That's your example? LOL Now, if you want to hear a biased announcer, check out Tommy Heinsohn call a Celts game.

+Motorboat Jones Tommy Heinson is THEE WORST!!!!

[@GodsChosenSoldier]

the most idiotic comment I've read so far in 2016 from youtube, Facebook, putlocker, reddit, twitter, instagram, and internet message boards combined.

[@Captkillgame]

@ 2:33, Rodman holds Shaq's left arm the entire time during the ball being passed to him. In today standard, the NBA players of today would cry nonstop to the referees and to the media. I missed NBA from the 90's. I think it's the best. I'm a little biased because it was my era and growing up watch Michael Jordan is pure awesome.

[@AndresCadungog]

I certainly agree with you. In my part, it's called full body contact with strategy...

[@vojo4anime]

agree i recently watched that 3v3 street basketball world championship and was amazed that they let them play it like in the old days like man used to play. I love this old stile wish basketball was more of mans game today as well.

[@vojo4anime]

Tyrone Kuleman true its the millenial trans gender time basketball

[@Captkillgame]

Tyrone Kuleman Damn dude! I just enjoyed the NBA in the 90's and you're the one that mentioned about being "glorified", etc. Now you even go so far that there are something "special" happening right now. The hell? Who's glorify now huh? LOL! I'm not making fun of you or anything but you sounded more into the NBA now days than I was being in the 90's dude.

[@Captkillgame]

You mean made you interest in watch the NBA in the 80s. The NBA wasn't watch by the world in the 80s, well a small world that is. Only Canada, and part of Western Europe could watch the NBA in the 80s. Other parts of the world can't, maybe because of political reason (China/Soviet/Cuba), poverty (many countries in Southeast Asia/Eastern Europe/South America/Africa) and basketball didn't really catch on (Japan/Korea/Hong Kong) until the 90's where those reasons might free up the interest in watch/play basketball. I came to the U.S in the late 80s and didn't know jack about basketball until I came here, so forget about the NBA. So the 90's open up lots of door to basketball in general and people know more about NBA started in this era. Is it because of MJ? Probably and this walking legend should always be part of the equation. He's that good.

[@dshoec]

Rodman was a genius. Dude was a great basketball player and also was great at frustrating the other team, confusing them, taunting them, etc. I bet alot of people fouled out because they were mad at Dennis.

[@elmotociclista9296]

beautiful video, so Manu memories, that was fun to watch

[@miggidymark]

6:17 - Shaq clearly pushed him outta frustration/payback lol.

[@ThePoetofpassion]

Rodman is a beast, I always loved watching this guy play, pure Heart, he will be missed!

[@phillyfantt3]

I’m here right now, because shaq mentioned longley and wennington but forgot to mention Rodman, when he said no one on the bulls could guard him. That’s the reason he said his lakers would beat the bulls. Sorry, Shaq!! You’re wrong.

[@quarantinegragas2017]

This was before he went three peat and he wasn't as heavy. If he had his body and team when he went three peat on this game. I could see shaq bullying Rodman. Plus we have Kobe.

[@iranianintelligenceagency9337]

@@quarantinegragas2017 Rodman is keeping Shaq of the glass, and I can see Kobe having trouble vs. '96 Scottie. Scottie on Portland kept Kobe to 42% from the field in the 2000 Finals as the primary defender, which is great. MJ would have trouble vs. Kobe, but in 2000-2002, Kobe was undisciplined and gambled too much on defense, so he either got a steal and started a one-man fast break or got blown by and left in the dust. Regardless, I would take the 96 or 97 Bulls over the 3-peat Lakers of the 2000s anyday.

[@neekcorleone1120]

Rodman was a 2K cheat code (100% team chemistry)🤣

[@charleswilliams8500]

LeBron definitely would NOT have survived in that era of basketball. No amount of crying or refs would help him out.

[@wiper3704]

Charles Williams he would have been an average player in that era

[@charleswilliams8500]

90s ball was the most physical. You definitely had to have been strong mentally. I just don't see LeBron being able to have his way against teams like the Bulls and especially not the Bad Boy Detroit Pistons. He's rattled too easily now in today's game and it would be even worse for him the amount of punishment they brought. He would be reduced to an average player at best even with his size. Charles Oakley and LeBron James...yeah that would definitely be interesting lol

[@Tojohiruma]

Charles Williams i think youre vastly underrating him,now just for the record he isnt my favorite player bc i didnt grow up with him but he is one of the very elite group of people that can draw comparison with MJ,now he's still waayyy behind him but imagine one second he didnt lose those finals like MJ he would be on his level,so no he wouldn't be "an average at best" player in the 90's man he'd be a good/great player

[@lebronjames5287]

+oh oh he wont even get a rebound from rodman

[@Tojohiruma]

+Tyrone Kuleman yeah smh this dude hates lebron so much he tripping

[@SFO14]

Rodman also kept him off the glass. So anyone stating the double & triple teams are the reason Shaq didn't score, how many offensive boards did he have? Any chances for garbage buckets? Nope.

[@chrissmith6726]

so many great memories watching Rodman play. absolute fuckin beast with an unmatched will to win

[@johnjairomuriel8681]

2023 and I still love Rodman … thank you man for that moments

[@stuartperry8141]

The most impressive thing about Rodman is that he covered Jordan or Pippen early in his career as well as Bird and Magic, He focused on his strength and began covering power forwards and centers.

[@zroxmolejon6278]

but people did not realize that in crucial plays, rodman free throws always counts..ahahha

[@scorp0171]

Rodman had a very bad FT pt in career but in the money time, he often put his Ft such as 96'finals game 2

when Rodman was one of the few guys with tattoos...the good ole' days !

[@SeecretWeapon]

Rodman played him awesome in small stretches in the 1996 ECF also Rodman from 1989-1997 was DOMINANT on defense even gave Hakeem a little trouble in 1995 in small patches which at that time was near impossible to guard

[@seanmcclure]

When the biggest ovation of the night is someone making two free throws you know it’s crazy.

[@sexylazercatwizard]

The absolute hype with rodmans last free throws gives me so much joy

[@enterthevoidIi]

lol the commentator really hated rodman

[@HighlightRiel]

It's an LA broadcaster, look at the logo of the station. Rodman raped them out of victory so you can expect them hating him for that.

[@AngryLlama]

that's chick hearn commentating legend

[@AngryLlama]

Yep! Haha

[@lewjones3]

he said "that stupid Rodman" and he didn't do nothing

[@HighlightRiel]

If you look at the station , it's CAL (Laker broadcasters). So expect them hating Rodman for shutting down their center.

before golddust there was rodman.

[@qwertyzxcvbn3174]

Goldust was before Rodman

[@DeathsAvengerProd]

Technically, the character, "Goldust" was born Oct. 22, 1995 at an In Your House PPV vs. Marty Jennetty whever he made his WWF (at the time) debut. Whereas Dennis Rodman was born May 13, 1961. Dustin Reynolds (who plays Goldust) was born April 11, 1969. But either way. Dennis Rodman is older, Therefore was "BEFORE".
