[@axjohn]

People don’t realize Rodman averaged a double-double in college, scoring and rebounding. From Wiki: After finishing high school, Rodman worked as an overnight janitor at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. He then experienced a sudden growth spurt from 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m) to 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) and decided to try basketball again,[19] despite becoming even more withdrawn because he felt odd in his own body.[16] A family friend tipped off the head coach of Cooke County College (now North Central Texas College) in Gainesville, Texas. In his single semester there, he averaged 17.6 points and 13.3 rebounds, before flunking out due to poor academic performance.[10] After his short stint in Gainesville, he transferred to Southeastern Oklahoma State University, an NAIA school. There, Rodman was a three-time NAIA All-American and led the NAIA in rebounding twice (1985, 1986). In three seasons there (1983-1986), he averaged 25.7 points and 15.7 rebounds,[20] led the NAIA in rebounding twice and registered a .637 field goal percentage.[19] In 1986 he led his school to the NAIA semifinals where he scored 46 points in a single game and also had a tournament-tying record of 32 rebounds and they finished the season with highest ranking in school history at #3 in the nation. This helped get him invited to the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, a pre-draft camp for NBA hopefuls, where he won Most Valuable Player honors and caught the attention of the Detroit Pistons.[10]

ikr, this is what i've been saying.. dennis can score.. back then, you were given a job and dennis' job was to defend the other teams primary player and not a primary scoring option.. that's how the NBA was back then..

[@emmanuelquerol]

so why did Rodman concentrate in rebounding when he joined the NBA?

[@emmanuelquerol]

@Xereterux Nocturn i know right (ړײ)‎ƪ​​

[@rtc7788]

The strategy was, since Rodman historically sucks at freethrows, if MJ got possession of the ball, it's better to foul and have Dennis shoot freethrows to get back possession. In terms of % they had a better shot of Dennis missing freethrows, than Jordan getting 2 pts.

[@DaddyBoo69]

I dont see any foul on rodman... Please enlighten me sir.. thanks in advance.

[@Mangix974]

Moreover, Rodman said he could play like a great shooter, but prefer focus on what the team needed and so for the rebounds. But such a terrible tactic to try to hack Rodman, cause before doing so great at rebounding he was a excellent field scorer 🤣 Seriously what they were thinking ? That all big men were terrible at FT? Looks like Rodman was in training for FT🤣

[@YK-fj5bj]

@@Mangix974 it was a fair strategy; Dennis was making under 40% in FT at the time. But of course Dennis took it personal in that game. 😁🏀

[@emanx2600]

@@hansolo9413 he's laughing was to hide the embarrassment. You have to understand that inorder to play in the NBA you have to be a top talent in the world. To have your role reduced to what an average person from the street can do is very insulting for a competitor.

Coach Don Nelson used Hack-a-Shaq on Dennis Rodman before he famously used it against Shaq(who was unstoppable on offense but only 52% in Free throws). It was used a lot in the playoffs against teams with Shaq, Deandre Jordan, and Dwight Howard. In 2016 they changed the rules and you won't gain any advantage of fouling anyone off-ball because they will be given 1 free-throw and retains ball possession.
