NBA Legends Explain why Dennis Rodman Was A MONSTER

Dennis Rodman was so much fun to watch. I love how he was himself and didn't care what people think of him. He was so good, he made it to the Hall of Fame while averaging less than 10 points per game. Amazing rebounder and defensive player.

Just like Dennis said, he would sit under the rim during mid range jumper drills and just watching the ball spin and understanding where that ball was going to go. Insane dedication

[@jaysouthmusic8230]

That’s being the master of his craft and understanding his role

Dennis rodman super great rebounder & defender& dirty basketball 🏀 player

[@williamkoscielniak7871]

I agree with Mourning that Rodman is one of the greats. There are tons of players that can score the basketball, but there is only one guy who can grab 17 rebounds a game, guard every position, and psychologically destroy his opponents all at once. What Rodman contributed to the game is utterly irreplaceably. There is just quite literally no other player like him in the history of the game.

[@Thomas998822]

Bulls were a dynamic team; Rodman is easily _the_ best rebounder of all-time and easily one of the best defenders of all-time. Scottie was easily was a top 3 two-way players of all-time; if not the best. Phil was easily a top 3 coach of all-time; if not _the_ best. Kukoc was a terrific scorer. Kerr was the most accurate 3pt sniper of all-time. Bulls had an expertly-crafted and well-rounded team 1 through 15. They ALL stayed fairly healthy and in top shape consistently for years. Meanwhile MJ stans be like: *MJ* did it all by himself. *MJ* went 6-0. MJ, MJ, MJ. Don't get me wrong, MJ is still the goat, AND he had a goat-level supporting cast, and when he didn't have all that help, he was getting swept out the 1st round every year or not even making the playoffs for 8 years.

[@rickybus8525]

Same with Bird. Many hate on him, but in my eyes you can't have a top 5 without him. Guys like Bird and Rod make the team win and thats the point, Who cares if one guy dominates his team, but doesnt lift the whole team up. The best players are the ones that bring out the best in their team. And Rod and Bird sure as hell did that.

[@williamkoscielniak7871]

@@rickybus8525 Larry is without question one of my all time favorites. After Jordan (and I'm a Bulls fan who grew up in the 90's so I'm extremely biased), Larry is my favorite player to watch old games and highlights of. He could dominate a game and only score 10 points or so.

This just isn't remotely true. Are you talking about did he have a play or two that was a highlight? Maybe. Shaq averaged 27/13 against Rodman. Not exactly stopping him. And believe me when I tell you someone was coming with help to defend on 98% of those possessions. Rodman left alone on Shaq would get posterized like anybody else.

I recently had argued with a guy that claimed Draymond Green was/is a better player than Rodman....

They were ruthless & that whole team was a mindfck.

[@blakebrown84]

Dennis Rodman is a NBA legend who was known for his rebounding skills and rebounding ability more than his scoring. He only respected a few NBA players, Chuck Daly and Phil Jackson. He also loved Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. The Pistons were die hard fans who loved the heck outta him. He has no respect for the Spurs organization because he felt out of place and felt he didn’t belong there. He hated David Robinson, Bob Hill, Gregg Popovich, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. Those die hard Bulls fans loved the heck out of him. I felt Shaq and Kobe were jealous of him for no reason. He respected Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars and John Salley as teammates.
