Dennis is the best role player of all time in my opinion. Not just because he’s one of the best rebounders, hustlers, and outlet passers but because he actually made the other players play worse. His off the ball defensive antics are legendary. Dennis got in plenty of fights but wouldn’t actually punch you. He would just piss you off until you shoved him or tried to punch him and then he knew he was in your head. You’re more worried about how to hit him back without getting caught rather than focusing on your game. Bro was like poison to opposing players.

Id go as far to say he is the best off the ball player, he kinda defended 5 guys at the same time, not in literal sense of locking them down, but in the way you explained, plus you were always scared if you miss against him more than agains others because you knew that the ball will almost always end up in his hands. also works other way around, if you are on his team your shots are way more relaxed knowing he is waiting if you screw up. he himself once said something similair to this

10:04 ;-; finally someone else says this. they'd have never won even one of their second three without him. in terms of skill compared to the next closest player in their position/at what they were doing, rodman was far and away the best at what he did and jordan would have been more replaceable than him on that team.

You're so on point. I'm just curious to what could be his motivation,to take such keen interest on rebound and defense. I suppose this boils down to his natural and background history,ie nature of his mental origin, birth and upbringing. What was needed in such nature, and was lacking, which he also experienced and made it his purpose to create and provide that,and that become a priority,an interest and motivation/driving force.

Dennis Rodman was one of the most versatile defenders, and best rebounders, to ever play in the NBA. He won five rings with the Pistons and the Bulls. While Rodman was a great player, he was also unique. His near-complete lack of offense keeps him from being ranked as highly as some of the greatest of all time. Rodman was considered highly talented, but also extremely controversial. He also clashed with coaches, teammates, and the media during his time in San Antonio, so the Spurs were eager to move on from him despite his impressive rebounding abilities. He was one of the very best one-on-one defenders to ever play the game. Also, He played 14 seasons with the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. He also clashed with David Robinson and never seen to respected him as a player, so he never liked him at all.

Rodman was the nearly perfect complimentary player to Jordan. Worked as hard as MJ, especially in the playoffs. Rodman was arguably the Finals MVP of the Seattle series or at least the closest another Bull came to taking the finals MVP over Jordan.

That story of Craig Sager finding Dennis was so tragic.

[@ritorodriguez9999]

Man I fondly remember those days in Chicago...we ruled the world and Rodman was a BIG part of it.

Dennis The Menace🤧🐐

KZbin's most underrated channel.

Rodman knew the ins and outs of basketball he was the best & rebounds don't even talk about it

[@Marie70272]

Dennis was kinda sorta weird but boy could he rebound.I loved to see him in action. The way he taunted other players was unbelievable 🤣🤣..I loved the way he would entangle his legs with other players Carl Malone comes to mind.🤭🤣🤣..Dennis lived his life the way he wanted but it never interfered with his playing the game of basketball.Rodman was a joy to watch as he would spring into air for a rebound.❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@faizpaingco2166]

Best Rebounder Ever and 1 of the greatest defender in the game despite his size..

[@alfredmugaburu9948]

Mad respect for Rodman and players like Udonis Haslem who didn’t have to drop a lot of points to show how great they were and instead demonstrated it by the hustle they brought to the court

[@BDOT310]

You here those stats on the intro this dude is a legend 🔥😂

[@Mrguitar853]

Imagine leaving your child and partner and then your child becomes a millionaire and famous

[@cain948]

Imagine dominating the rebound in the time when big legends like Shaq Ewing Motumbo and Robinson plays while only standing at 6,7.

Which is why he was the inspiration for the character of Sakuragi Hanamichi from the manga/anime "Slam Dunk".

[@ChairmanMeow1]

All I know is that on the court, Rodman didn't let me down as a bulls fan a single time. His motor was endless.

[@Zamppa86]

And now The Worm is on the 75 greatest of all time list aswell! Well deserved!
