I’m a Celtics fan from the 80’s; James worthy was one of the best all around players of his era. I have so much respect for that man and his talent. He got anywhere near the basket and you might as well have gave the Lakers 2 points. He wasn’t afraid to get into the dirty areas of the defensive game as well. He made the Lakers so much better a basketball team.

[@paul_devos]

Worthy is right on this one. Draymond would get the shit knocked out of him a few times. Refs protect the Warriors and let him get away with murder. He'd get hammered in eras prior to 2005.

[@kenarthur6253]

Great video. Mr. Worthy was a superb player and he's awesome to listen to. He knows his stuff.

[@Bradydog-in7ut]

I dreaded him every time we played the Lakers in the finals. The other Lakers were unbelievable players but James Worthy was the guy who could really hurt you….and he might not even have touched the ball!! But you better be ready to get some help down low if he got the ball.

[@coachkeith643]

Oakley, Mason, Maurice Lucas, Rodman... They didn't phuk around. 👊😠

[@jmad627]

Maurice Lucas was a great power forward and doesn’t get mentioned too often. I’ll always mention his name when the topic comes up, but aside from you I never see, or hear his name mentioned.

[@ARIZJOE]

@@jmad627 Maurice made the most of his toughness. They say the other parts of his game were just so so. For obscure reasons, he was not coveted coming from the ABA. Thus, Walton got his invaluable enforcer. Lucas reflected Coach Al McGuire, his mentor and sparing partner.

[@landscaping3716]

Arm bar defense changes the game immensely. Curry's game would dwindle quite a bit.

[@MasterRoshi8974]

Draymond would get destroyed by Rodman. Rodman gave Karl Malone and SHAQ Problems both men are bigger and Stronger than Draymond. Rodman made the Hall of Fame because of his Defense and Rebounding. Led the League in Rebounding for about 7 years straight. We are talking about Averages of 16, 17, 18 or More. More Stronger and Athletic than Draymond not even close. Rodman also was a Great Defender in the Low Post

[@FuShengAlex]

I'm not really understanding this "destroyed" thing with Rodman vs Draymond hypothetically. Draymond is not really a high volume scorer that needs to be limited. Hes a jack of all trades type player. Not a scorer that opposing teams scheme for. The best Rodman would do is his usual baiting and flopping

[@danotbob]

Draymond actually knows how to dribble and run an offense, unlike Rodman.

[@roland7584]

@@danotbob Just listen to what Worthy is saying and you'd understand that dribbling and running an offense has nothing to do with what this conversation is even about. Rodman would literally destroy him. I love that Worthy throws in Oakley and Mason into the conversation. They would have destroyed Draymond as well. If Lebron's walkover made Draymond lose his mind to cost the Warriors a championship, Mason and Oakley's antics would have caused Draymond to just stay home and miss some games after a night with those 2.

[@kenneth7826]

Richard courtney....i agree with you..he would work on draymond's mind..toy with him.....

[@chrisbera7952]

The 80s and up through the 90s were the toughest years physically in NBA history. Today's players are supremely skilled and athletic, but they have not been tested with the physicality from that he previous era. Many today do well because the league is physically soft. That's undeniable. Palming and carrying the ball is also allowed and would be severely restricted especially in the 80s. Those two facts alone would negate many of today's great players.

Ironically James (all time fav forward) was only player who destroyed Rodman in Lakers/Pistons playoffs...stunning to watch given his rep as best defensive player of hie era.

[@Trancymind]

Worthy gave Rodman a very difficult time. Worthy is 6'9 who moved like a guard, he was that fast, along with the skill set that he was good at either hand finishing close to the rim. Worthy had graceful moves as well.

[@wysefavor]

Jams Worthy explains who is the toughest player that he has ever played against = Dennis Rodman

[@Trancymind]

Rodman said the toughest player to guard was James Worthy not Jordan. Worthy is 6'9 but man was he really fast during his prime years. Worthy could jump higher before he broke his leg in 1983.

[@healthfadsfade]

Worthy is underrated still. He could've averaged 25-27 a game on another team.

[@uncletony6210]

easily.

[@HariHari-my7ez]

I can imagine even Karl Malone s elbow was so soft and cozy for Rodman..

[@joecap2919]

Karl Malone would send Dramon straight to the ICU. Kids don't get how tough previous generations were. They ( we) grew up in a tougher world.

[@user-yq4tv2gi9e]

Some people have more energy and maybe their strength is deceptive. Rodman was like this. Draymond is like this. Rodman is better as hes more athletic. That being said, Draymond could play and shut people bigger than him down in any era though granted in the past he might come away with a black eye.

[@poliincredible770]

The most worthy is Jesus. He was so tough he took nails through his hands. He is undefeated; Death couldn’t even defeat him! Declare Jesus as your Lord Believe in your heart that God has raised him from death And you will be saved! (Romans 10:9) Life with Christ is INCREDIBLE!!!

[@mjhopgoodswe]

Why would Draymond Green not be able to play in that era, just because Dennis Rodman would eat him alive on offence?

[@roland7584]

He also mentioned Oakley and Mason. He didn't even start mentioning guys like Mahorn and Laimbeer. He's also not talking about Draymond's offense being stopped. He's talking about his entire game. Rodman was a rebounding machine while playing ridiculous defense while getting into the head of the most reactionary personality on the other team and that would be Draymond.

[@FuShengAlex]

I agree! Other than rebounding and flopping Draymond is better than Rodman ever was

[@bobbythespaceghost9934]

He's too emotional. His mental health instability/passion would be exposed by the tough guys of the league during the 80s.

[@anonymike8280]

The great thing about Dennis Rodman is that he could have scored 20 points too, but didn't. Thank you, Dennis.

[@jackson5781]

Rodman easily could have but the thing about Dennis was is he focused on defense and made his career longer. Draymond plays drama queen Dennis was a critical thinker in a harder era of basketball and where they called Ts and flagrants when they faught each other, and Dennis never threw a punch once. Players refused to throw a punch at him cause he was that dominating. If you had put Draymond against Charles Oakley or an Anthony Mason, Draymond would be so exposed let alone would be out of the league within his first two years

[@FuShengAlex]

​@Jackson Anderson wow Draymond drama queen...are you kidding me? I like how old heads don't bring up what a jackass Rodman was his entire time in SA on and off the courtd when Isiah and Michael weren't there to baby his whiny behind. He basically quit during the playoffs and threw everyone under the bus and absolved himself of accountability. He was lucky somebody still wanted him after that charade.

80's were tougher it was the best decade i think 90's is a bit a decay compared to 80's 2000's is horrible

[@ARIZJOE]

Not only was Dennis Rodman tough and strong, he had an uncanny basketball IQ. He could guard about four positions, and knew just where the ball would carom on a rebound. Rodman had an unusual mental makeup, especially since he grew up in foster care, and worked as a janitor after high school. Dennis' garish flamboyance obscured a hard worker and a highly unusual mind. Listen to Big Game James.

Who in the hell would want to see Rodman vs Draymond?!?!? Lol. Two players with no game going at it? NBA fans come up with these wack sceneries and match ups all the time. I don't get it. Why would they even guard each other? No coach is going to put their top defender on a guy who isn't even a scoring threat. These cartoon scenerios where players are matched up in different eras is so corny. You can't compete with nostalgia because fans will embellish players from the past. Richard Jefferson said Rodman would get 30 rebounds in his sleep! lol. I doubt he ever had 30 rebounds in a game. If he did then it was prolly his all time high

[@MadScientist81]

Rodman all time high is 29… almost.

@@MadScientist81 That's my point. He said Rodman was getting 25-30 boards in his sleep. They way NBA fans embellish players from the past comical.

[@jamessills5802]

Rodman never had 25-30 rebounds a night. The toughest match up for Worthy was Ralph Sampson

[@votingcitizen]

"Rodman could get 25-30 rebounds"?? Be serious. Rodman could board, yes but not at 25-30 per game level. His best season was 19 rpg. Rodman really overachieved for his size because he had what every good rebounder has to have - a desire to get the ball. Too many guys just stand around and wait for the ball to come to them, especially now a days. Good rebounders dont wait, they go and get it. Don't go too Worm crazy. He benefited greatly from the decline of solid fundamental rebounding that started in that era and is really bad now. He got alot of bounds because the guys he was playing against were slack at boxing out and would stand waiting for the ball only to Dennis swoop in and grab it. Needless to say, Rodman would have not gotten as many if he had to try to take them away from Gus Johnson, Dave Cowens or Willis Reed, Maurice Lucas, et. al.

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

@@T-roc57 Rodman did it 159 times. That's a lot.

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

In the 1970s, there were 11 games where a player scored 30+ rebounds. It happened only 4 times in the 1980s. It happened 10 times in the 1990s. Rodman accounts for FIVE of those; the others were Mutombo, Barkley, Seikaly, and Willis (twice). Then it didn't happened at all in the aughts, and only 3 times in the 2010s. Hard to generalize from those statistics, other than to say that Rodman was a monster.

[@votingcitizen]

@@JohnSmith-oe5kx Other to say that back in the day, it was alot harder to get rebounds because most all the forwards and centers were really going after rebounds and boxing out. I stand by my point that Rodman would not have gotten as many rebounds if he played against more serious rebounders like Paul Silas, Maurice Lucas, Gus Johnson, Elvin Hayes, et. al. Also, again cutting off history at 1970 or 1980 does not make Rodman or anyone else a "monster" or all time anything. Wilt AVERAGED 23 rebounds per game over his entire career. His first two seasons he average over 27 rebounds per game. AVERAGED, so he had many games over 30.

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

@@votingcitizen I don't really follow. Wilt and Russell posted HUGE numbers in the 60s.The 70s (with Silas, Lucas, Johnson and Hayes) had about the same number of 30+ rebound games as the 90s, with the players I mentioned.

[@JohnSmith-oe5kx]

30+ rebounds in a game has been done 16 times in the past 40 years. Rodman accounts for FIVE of those. The only other player to do it more than once was Kevin Willis (twice). The others were, in chronological order: Oakley, Michael Cage, Seikaly, Mutombo, Barkley, Love, Bynum, Howard, and Kanter Freedom.

For the record, today's Dubs would wipe the floor with any team from "back in the day." Hear me out before you blow a gasket. Haha. Steph and their manner of play is a force multiplier that gets defenders out of position. Trying to play rough against that style of play results in easily seen fouls, plus the Dubs would have a lot of open threes, layups and dunks like they do now. It's tough to play physical when the guy they are trying to cover just isn't there. The physical crap - which also made the game less interesting to watch - is designed for big man post up offenses, where the team is standing around more. The Dubs don't have time for that - they are off to the races even when they are playing a half court game.
