Great job showing Dennis the respect he deserves!

[@daphneywalker2581]

Dennis doesn't get the respect he deserves

[@lamefart]

Oh you know nothing. He's always mentioned in the defensive Mount Rushmore which included Bill Russell, The Dream, and the best perimeter defenders; MJ, Pip, and The Glove.

[@awesomereviews1561]

I think he does.

[@noegojimmy]

Oh he does.

“I wanted this award so bad.” A comment normally reserved for MVP or titles. I feel this. Man never expected to succeed but ended up in the HOF. This generation is so disrespectful of the 90s to realize how talented and determined they were. Give me any 80s/90s champ over any of today’s champs, except maybe Giannis. Love me some Rodman.

Awesome video! Love me some defensive monsters!

Great video!!

[@AnarkeeSoundVibes]

finally a video that gives "The Worm" the respect he deserves. he's my #10 in my all time list. his athleticism and iq to this day is still unmatched in any player. the closest i saw was Birdman when he was in Denver and when he first got to Miami.

[@blakebrown84]

Dennis Rodman was one of the best and most versatile defenders in NBA history. His incredible energy and effort on defense allowed him to be matched against players as diverse as Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal. Rodman was one of the best one-on-one defenders to ever play the game. He was only 6 foot 7, 220 pounds for a power forward who embraced the position as he was very athletic and never got tired, so he wanted to prove people wrong. He may well be the greatest defensive rebounder in NBA history. He led the league in overall rebounding seven times as well, averaging an absurd 18.7 rebounds per game the ‘91-’92 season with the Detroit Pistons.

Bro where is all the rest of your videos? I've been looking for hours now, and I can't find your Shaq video, Hakeem, Shawn Kemp, Wilt, Bill, AI, Mugsy.....like none of your older stuff did I miss something???

[@ZorzGaming]

Did you get hacked?

[@mikebeck3014]

Rodman wasn't the best defense player he held fouled and pushed. He was a good defensive player.

[@keithgallagher1072]

Yeah right, dream on, bc iconic legendary players win DPOY twice AND 7 rebounding titles 2 boot ! The Worm DEFINITELY WASN'T just good, he was the #1 UNDISPUTED GREATEST defensive player while he played, PERIOD, u can't prove differently ! 💯

[@keithgallagher1072]

Your asi9 lame-brained st8ment is your jealousy talking ! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 💯 #TheTruthHurts

[@RagingRugbyst]

It... Was kind of allowed back then so it's fair game. I'm guessing you'd put an asterisk on the Bad Boys titles then?

[@texasturner2313]

Yeah, I agree. The title of the video says the best defensive player of all time. I don’t think so.

[@ciscoflores5512]

Denise did not weigh 218, Homeboy is 6’9’’. Was the greatest defender

[@mariofatovic6521]

If he's only the best of his time, who would be the best of ALL time?

[@dedricklane4899]

Hakeem 1st, Rodman, The Admiral and Scottie Pippen were the top 4 for me.

[@Ryenobal]

Pippen is extremely overrated on D

[@Zionsol777]

he could never guard Bird....of course, who could?

[@drh3b]

Michael Cooper?

[@keithgallagher1072]

Coop was pretty good, but he DEFINITELY was NOWHERE NEAR the Worm's level ! 💯

[@drh3b]

@@keithgallagher1072 Maybe maybe not. Bird would disagree with you. I know there is film of Cooper on KZbin getting it done on Jordan his last year. It was hilarious. Announcers were saying Cooper was too old to guard Jordan as Cooper blocked Jordan, and was forcing Jordan to pass, stealing it, etc. Cooper couldn't guard a center, he was too light, but anyone else he could to a good job on.

[@mikefuchs-sb8pv]

maybe, he couldn't defend Larry Legend too well, but who could?

Disrespected Larry Bird many times. Couldn't cover Bird so denigrated his skills. Lousy human.

I remember being a very young child and seeing him crying and asking why to my dad. I didn't realize that was Rodman until now. Ha
