Dennis Rodman vs. Frank Brickowski - Game 1, 1996

I don't own this

[@destroya333]

Hes so good at being annoying he even got under the commentators skin.

[@bradleyboyer9979]

Yeah, and it was Bill Walton - who was a pacifist! LOL

[@andrewday7825]

I love how the commentators are complaining about Rodman in the beginning of the video as if his antics are 100% negative for the game of basketball, and then two minutes later an opposing player is so thrown off by Rodman he overreacts and gets tossed from the game. That's why the Bulls acquired Rodman. Also, his fundamentals were a lot more sound than people realize. You aren't inducted into the hall of fame because of "antics."

[@aki007]

haha rodman is the biggest troll in the NBA

[@johnrayordas]

imagine him going against Lebron..... would've been fun EDIT: Just imagine Lebron's frustrated face with him on court

[@hugoguedon922]

Qui est là grâce à CodJordan

[@kiip210]

on peut m'expliquer ce qu'il c'est passé ? :o merci

[@casentbizarreici4400]

La base

[@doums9468]

Co Ma pareil mais j'ai rien compris...

[@deebo911]

Moi XD

[@KragenGG]

kiip210 En gros Rodman se payait la tete de Brickowski a chaque fois que Brick le faisait tomber et le narguait en tirant ses LF en mode balekouilles et ca a ennerver Brick qui a commencer a insulter tout le terrain et s'est fait sortir #Boloss

[@andytan911]

2 Bad Boys on the court for the Bulls, Dennis Rodman and John Sally, LOL

[@typeo1984]

+Andy Tan & James Edwards, can't see him on this clip, but he & Salley were members of the Bulls during that clip.

[@soulchorea]

It's crazy how that happened. Makes me wonder, Isaiah was from Chicago, and I bet he 1000000% wanted to switch sides and play with Mike but Mike would never allow it. I bet there's a story in there that just got buried along the way, neither party would ever admit it but I'm convinced lol

[@Orf]

1:30 "just moved over with the forearm to the elbow to the upper mid section, very dangerous play"---oh Bil Walton... you can just say he pushed him.

[@jarenmontaos5195]

Phil Jackson and even the Coach of Supersonics said that Dennis Rodman should be the 1996 Finals Mvp

[@scottschoen8081]

Even now it drives me crazy how much the 90's Bulls bothered Bill Walton. He was the least impartial announcer during NATIONAL broadcasts I have ever heard. I don't know whether it was because he was part of the 80's Celtics or the UCLA dynasty or what, but I have a feeling that's why he no longer has a job calling NBA games. If he does, he must avoid the Bulls games because I don't hear him.

[@JumoDimes09]

2:24 hahahah. he's laughing so hard.

[@dolphinated]

Randy Brown was fuckin with him big time.

[@dwill2476]

dolphinated off the chain

[@nuthinnicehiphop]

He was playing really well and embracing his celebrity. I was happy for him.

[@markruckman1785]

I have this entire series on tape Brickowski got tossed multiple times due to Rodman in this series. These are my favorite. I will say this video is probably my original upload. But that's okay. I Got deleted years ago. I'll upload a better one. :)

[@g4m1ng4you]

Fun Fact: Rodman was actually an amazing free throw shooter, he just hated how slow they were, so he would flick the ball at the basket to get it over and done with

[@marzilyas]

Dennis Rodman- one of the greatest rebounders, and floppers, of all time

[@breakdancer100]

I like how rodman brings mindgames in the game also haha

[@marzilyas]

he was a headcase, though, which I think makes him interesting in its own right. and he played in the NBA for years so objectively speaking he was actually pretty fucking good.

[@Brain320]

Joe Crawford - nuff' said...

[@MrWilou988]

when the worm is in your head......It's over

[@quincycasey7516]

Rodman gets the best of em

[@julianlaureti7455]

Dennis is great, but refs were gifting him calls. That Brickowski forearm box out, being a flagrant, is outrageous. Hardly a foul, and refs should have let more contact than usual , because of Dennis' antics

[@contactwide]

dennis the menace, master of the psychout game

[@blaketaylor8474]

Oh it was Joey Crawford referring so it was prolly a BS call

[@terryts2]

This isn't an acting job. It's getting into the opponents head. He's done that all his career

[@adelhardtlyl]

No shit he initiates it Bill. Musta not been getting stoned back then billy

[@alreadypaid]

just stop at 2 seconds and watch they are two bulls' players wearing number 23. Optical illusion though.

[@oooookkkkkk]

hardly rodman getting in his head. just pure terrible officiating by the one and only joey crawford.

[@MrTmax74]

The worm was a master

[@gmatsue84]

Brickowski might be the single worst name you can pick for a basketball player

[@benjaminflashflood8623]

HARDCORE.

[@neckboneschannel]

Commentator obviously biased. He clearly shows he loves Brickowski and hates Rodman.

[@smhatnation11]

Rodman is Beasley s father.

[@dolphinfootball22]

That wouldn't even be a flagrant foul in today's game, that would be a common foul in today's game. Tough era my ass. They called a flagrant foul on a fucking flop by Dennis Rodman. Jordan overrated ass, 29.5 - 6 - 4 - 48%fg from 1996-1998 < LeBron

[@kobe3295]

Jordan jockers are the worst. The whole physicality thing is just a myth to protect Jordan's legacy. Perhaps the funniest is when they talk about hand-checking. If you check the rule book, hand-checking has not been allowed in the league since 1978, before Jordan was drafted.

[@cmv1810]

Im not a Jordan Jocker, I just think that guys like Bird, Magic, Jordan, and Robertson as well as some others are above Lebron. I still think he is definitely top 10 all time, but as good as or better than those guys? No. In the end Lebron will be somewhere around 9th-10th all time in my opinion.

[@dolphinfootball22]

cmv1810 Hahahahahah!!!!! LeBron is better than all those guys. LeBron is the most skilled and athletic player in NBA history by far. Don't get me started. LeBron took 5.4 three's a game in the 2014 NBA Finals and averaged 50%. James is clearly one of the greatest 3 pt. shooter's in NBA history. None of those guy's come close to that title. MJ's PER is 27.9 LeBron PER is 27.8 In the end James will be the G.O.A.T.

[@cmv1810]

Bullshit, stats don't tell the story, not even close, guys like Bird, Magic and Jordan were true leaders that did what their team needed to win, whether that was score, rebound, pass, etc. Just watch some of the old games from the 80s and early 90s which were brutal blood wars. Those guys did whatever it took and left everything on the court. That's what defined them and made them the greats they are. Lebron just does the same thing all the time and either wins or loses. Lebron may be one of the two or three most athletic players in history, but most skilled? Give me a damn break, not even close. Without his athletic ability he wouldn't be anything more than a good solid player. Im going to guess your pretty young, only kids who never saw any of those guys play in their primes would say that Lebron is better than any of them, let alone equal.

[@cmv1810]

There's a difference between skill and overall player level. Some players rely more on skill and others on athleticism. I think Lebron is a great player and one of the top 10 all time, but I just think he is a great player more because of this athletic ability than his skill. Obviously his skill is incredible, but guys like Bird for instance who were not the most athletic (not nonathletic, just less than a guy like Lebron) were still way more skilled and were great because of their skill. Lebrons is more about his athletic ability. In fact in my opinion Bird and Lebron are 1-2 in terms of all time greats at the SF spot. But id still give bird the edge, mainly because of his clutch ability and incredibly shooting ability. He was also a bit better passer. Plus he just had more desire to win overall, which made him over perform from what he should have. Plus he beat on guys who were similar type of athletic ability to Lebron, (aka Wilkens, Jordan, Pippen, etc)

[@NBAisfixed2002]

what do you know joe crawford makes another horrible call then throws out brickowski

[@GTASR2PACTAJS]

Go Chicago!

[@shawncoltrane1216]

LMMFAO Brickowski

[@sophiea22]

My uncle

[@rickl3840]

Brickowski's a lame for letting it get to him, he should of just waited and then bruce bowen'd Rodman while he took a jump shot, make him roll his ankle.

[@thekingsavatar8]

prolly still better than dwight lol

[@jematazar3094]

That's lebron copying.

[@smoothiegaming7406]

moi

[@DeepHauz13]

Rodman the master manipulator and gas lighter.

[@wiltzer1]

chicago bulls of that era was a great team but they also had the help of the refs all the time

[@bigstudwithaguitar]

A lot of people say that Jordan was the best at getting in the opponent's head. FALSE. That would be Rodman!

[@Shystyman]

bigstudwithaguitar Jordan got into peoples heads because he was so damn good Rodman got into peoples heads because he was so damn annoying and frustrating to deal with

[@bigstudwithaguitar]

Ballface Mcgee Dude, don't downplay Rodman's skills. He kicked ass defensively.

[@Shystyman]

bigstudwithaguitar I'm not downplaying his skills I'm just saying lol I'm just saying most of his defense came from annoying the fuck out of the guy he was guarding. I saw rodman get into the head of a prime shaq

[@shogrran]

There are guys that flop. Rodman is something else. Rodman is an artist. LOL

[@EdmondLau2007]

I would love to see how he would reduce the soft players of today to tears.

[@danielbelcab]

+EdmondLau2007 By flopping? Wth

[@DJaySplitSecond]

Rodman was a master at getting into an opponents head

[@PabloEscobar-di3up]

"The REBOUNDiNG god"/" The BADBOY"/"The WORM"/"The MENACE ", Simply DENNiS RODMAN!=-)

[@benzun9600]

rodman funny stuff to watch. its like he was on drugs for every single game

[@WaryaaMoxamad]

The worm got into Brickowski's ears.

[@pjmccoy9682]

Ben Zun shit he probably was

[@yoshigettingdope1104]

he was drunk

[@kristofferiansantillas5590]

i love dennis rodman game..he change every best player mood

[@ibeprofinn8890]

who else is here cuz of bdubs?

[@Mike_Robin]

genius Rodman haha :)

[@thanapolaphiworaphakin7395]

If LeBron play in the 80's or 90's, He will cry like a bitch and quit BBall in 3 years.

[@FeelingThis09]

thank god Walton doesn't commentate any more.

[@BigThiccEnergyy]

He actually still commentates lol.

[@TheseOpenRoads]

I know Rodman is acting like an "innocent victim" but really i think its a smart strategy and unless the ref see's him walking into people and calls the fouls on him he is just getting into the other teams head. If they start to push and get fouls then it works to his advantage. Thats why Bill Walton was always a soft ass because he doesnt get these little games within the game IMHO

[@kid547]

@ 1:03 Scottie Pippen said to Rodman ,"if you get one more tech i'm 'f*****g you up after the game ."

[@typeo1984]

+Silver & just years prior to being teammates, Pippen & Rodman were mortal enemies during the Bulls/Pistons rivalry.

[@hassadabbass4678]

rodman from the charity line.. like he doesnt give a shit

[@jasonkolo]

Yeah, but for him it was probably a good idea, getting all set he probably would have bricked

[@FrYLocK41]

"Brick"-owski.... lol, what a name for a basketball player.

[@kukukukukuku7244]

lmao growing up playing basketball and you brick... OWSKI

[@sophiea22]

He’s my uncle lol

[@TOGGGAA1]

I remember watching this whole game on NBA Hardwood Classics, I already knew Dennis was a good player, but I think this clip reminds us all of why he is great in his own way

[@tonoslim]

nobody and i mean NOBODY could get in your head and flop on the court like Rodman! We loved him in Detroit! Lord knows he crazy, but that was a bad man!

[@Mst3kfanatic1]

Rodman knew how to string a guy along just enough to make him lose it, Rodman master of the mind games.

[@gabrielvlaeminck4031]

Merci Waxx

[@swexyyt3515]

lol xD le connaisseur

[@iamthereaImaster]

I wouldn't necessarily say "flopper", he's more like a mind-fucker, to the point that opposing players actually lose it and go at him. He's a tough dude.

[@bradfordlee7384]

Dennis Rodman knew how to get under Frank Brickowski's skin as he did that to so many opponents. He wasn't called Dennis The Menace for nothing.

[@johnathanswierkosz604]

I loved his hair

[@jackfreemind]

Wow Rodman totally baited that guy, masterful

[@xxGhostfacexx]

10,000 of Jordans career points were from Dennis Instigating technical fouls lol

[@johnaiza87]

jordan,rodman and pippen...total balance...

[@pierrechong1089]

Rodman and the mind games into the arena is amazing hahaha

[@NARFALICIOUS]

lol at randy brown blocking brickowski from walking

[@mamayokero39]

I love how no one in this comment section calls out Rodman for flopping on that rebound and drawing a BS flagrant foul on Brickowski. Had this play happened in 2015 instead of 1996, 90s romanticists would be all over it saying "today's league is soft" or "that would have never happened in the old days" or "these guys wouldn't last a day in the 90s". Guess what, flopping wasn't invented today and guys like Rodman, Vlade Divac or Reggie Miller would certainly be among the biggest floppers in the league today.

[@mamayokero39]

There is a difference but not the one you mentioned. The difference is that people have this fantasized and unrealistic view of 90s basketball as the "perfect era" so they'll ignore pretty much anything bad about that era because of nostalgia. A flop is a flop whether it happened in the 90s or today. I agree with you that it didn't happen as often back then but it happened and Rodman isn't the only one who flopped in his era. Rodman flopped all the time, his Pistons teammate Bill Laimbeer was labeled a flopper in his day, Charles Oakley flopped on rebounds a lot too, yet everyone considers them tough guys and not pussies. So if today's players are pussies for flopping, then so are these guys.

[@danielbelcab]

+Nuno Madruga I agree. Flops are bitch moves regardless of who does 'em

[@benwallace5364]

+Nuno Madruga agree with you

[@PhilRockwell]

Nuno Madruga Stop we love the true artist like Rodman Vlade Divac that takes acting and trolling skill lol 😂

[@PhilRockwell]

Nuno Madruga You forgot too that Rodman embraces getting in opponents head. That's not other players games so hell yeah you call out a LeBron flop against a Nate Robinson 😀😂. You don't call out Rodman because not only is he doing this he stills grabs 21 rebounds does all the dirty work will get chippy with any and everyone plus its more of a physical era not to mention while Rodman does all this he guarding shaq, Malone. You can't hate on that. But today's game already soft heck ya you call out these soft metros for flopping today. Hahahaha

[@binyd4]

you forgot defensive player...

[@ChiefsBulls587]

Loved Rodman's game....

[@deenazario]

Rodman is cerebral.

[@kylesantana145]

Dennis Rodman is a legend he's so aggressive making the league even better.

[@mccinable25]

Rodman would own LeBron.He would probably make LeBron cry

[@Wis_Dom]

So true.

[@RogueSniperGaming]

Video has nothing to do with Lebron

[@justinwelsh4325]

Rodman isn't just great at rebounds but he also gets in your head and drives you apeshit. He did it to a young Kurt Thomas too and many others.

[@carlhil2]

Ahhh, the GOOD old days, when the NBA was full of weirdos!

[@brynjones6519]

and people say the NBA back then wasnt soft like it is today. please, its always been the same.

[@joshsheffield8430]

I couldn't disagree with you more. There is video footage that contrasts everything your last post states. Keep your head up homey and eyes wide open.

[@TrollWrld]

Josh Sheffield Exactly. Imagine if rodman did that to barkley.

[@balolingwalcott3811]

Rodman a master of the art of instigation

[@iiwaram83]

Love rodman

[@throwindembows]

i'm a bulls fan but damn rodman flopped worse than james all throughout the clip.

[@rafrafrafrafraf6008]

That was a flop at :53

[@VannTheDawn]

Draymond isn’t on Rodman’s level when it comes to trolling, Rodman would get Draymond and Ron Artest thrown out in a single game, he doesn’t give a fuck. Green is too emotional.

[@seanhallahan9142]

I bet Jordan loved playing with him. Rodman and Jordan together could get in ANYONE'S head. They both excelled at mind games. It's the one think James needs to learn, to antgonize his opponent. Jordan would make you mad so you gave it your all, and then he'd make you look stupid and then it would make you feel helpless. Rodman the same. No matter how hard you tried, you couldn't out battle him and he'd let you know it.

[@benbrung]

You guys are both wrong. He wasn't on everyone's radar but was way better than his career average for nearly a decade. He was an annoyingly good defender and 3-pt shooter. People who remember him are the one's whose team suffered a Brick-led upset when his mostly lousy teams came to town. He had a habit of turning annoyed disdain into respect for those who were paying attention.

[@effendikwantan1863]

I saw the unusual reunion between the Bulls and the former Pistons regarding their past rivalry.

[@ensbergur99]

I'm living in the present homeboy. Pacers>Bulls. And do you watch the NBA??? Crawford is a NOTORIOUS boob. He's on his knees like your girl at a truck stop...only he blows games.

[@santosjones6186]

Dat y dennis rodman is a halla famer!!!!!!!!! Period!!!!!!!!! 5 rings!!!!!!! Period!!!!!!! The master of mind games!!!!!!!! Period

[@NoName-jb4tl]

Imagine, you Made it to the NBA and the only thing remembered is how Rodman fucked you Up 😂

[@Vanculio]

Bah, a guy that in his career averaged 10 pts, 4,7 rbd, 1,9 ast and 1,9 tov per game doesn't remain in my basketball memories. Although Dennis Rodman is in the Hall of Fame.

[@JJNZ1000]

And thats how you break an opponent...

[@johnaiza87]

jordan scorer pippen leader rodman rebounder and a mind gamer - he will try to annoy his opponent...that's how he's being payed

[@JimmyJones2481]

haha every time i see dennis shoot a free throw its like he doesnt give a shit about it and throws it up

[@tomcraid4125]

Qui est la grace a Trashtalk

[@nevaehtaylor7660]

Mj like this nigga here man ! Lol dennis always had some shit happening

[@johnmarshall6088]

So glad Bill Walton is off the NBA telecasts now.

[@lebronbeastjames6]

I think Rodman, as great as he was, caused Jordan and Pippen a lot of stress when they were on the court together lol. They always had to come and restrain him.

[@mariobryant8803]

Rodman was a master at getting into the opponent’s head

[@ghostryder0079]

I see a future fight in the UFC with these 2
