Absolute robbery, Pippen and Jordan were bricking it up in that series and he saved them in a couple key games with his offensive rebounding. He also contained Kemp to an extent

Yer he was awesome

no he shouldnt have lol, i get he was impactful but be real

@@Someone-hi1nt MJ shot 41% and Pippen 34%, be real 🤣

@@Someone-hi1nt I understand your perspective, but did you watch that series? I did. And I'm the biggest Jordan/Pippen fan in the world. But Rodman's impact went far beyond just his defense and rebounding. The Bulls had trouble offensively that series - particularly MJ. It was one of his worst playoff performances ever. And Rodman literally changed the course of multiple games by himself. He basically got Frank Brickowski ejected from the series, and he made Brickowski completely compromised even when he did play. There was a sequence of plays in one of the games, while the Bulls were having trouble scoring, that Rodman got like 4 straight offensive rebounds, dove on th floor, got fouled, and got a technical on Frank Brickowski like all in a row. The crowd was going nuts - they were up out of their seats, and Rodman was fist pumping. He seriously changed the entire series. Without him, I'm not so sure they win. You should go back and watch the full games. That's the only way to get a sense of his impact, because it was far beyond numbers.

There are definitely high intensity defensive players in the league today

Olajuwon is a better defender than Rodman

@@deebofleebo6427 Love Hakeem but he couldn't stay with guards as well as Rodman did. Rodman's versatility covering more of the floor gives him the slight edge and his rebounding clinches it.

@@heirrose1606 Olajuwon is #9 all time in steals and was stealing the ball out the hands of guards like Magic, Stockton, Isaiah, Payton, since day 1! There's compilation videos of Olajuwon blocking and stealing the ball from prime, quicker than lightning Jordan or pinning Pippen's dunk against the backboard, there's also the numbers, seeing that Olajuwon went back to back league leader in rebounds and blocks in the neighborhood of 14rpg, 2.1spg, 4.4bpg, seriously nobody in NBA history comes close to Olajuwon defensively, nobody

@@heirrose1606 there's footage of 37y old Olajuwon running up and checking Kobe at half court. Before Kobe could even move forward with a dribble, Olajuwon had already snatched it out his hands and was starting a fast break for the Rockets lol

@@deebofleebo6427 He was amazing and who I'd pick as my starting Center vs anybody. Hakeem is the closest to Jordan when it comes to playing hard both. Rodman still did more on defense. It's not about whether or not Hakeem could do what Rodman did, it's that it didn't actually happen irl not in some hypothetical.

🗣️YEAH LIKE GOLDEN STATE GREEN! 🤷💯💪😎

Green would’ve been eaten alive by the PFs and Cs in the 80s and 90s.

@@edmondlau511 Green would be riding the bench in the 80s and 90s for most teams that won championships. Hell I'd have started Randy Brown over him. You want to talk about a player that plays defense look at that guy. Not much in offense but you told him to lock down someone who played guard that sucker thought he had a Doberman on his ass. The Doberman squad of the Bulls for that second 3peat was Jordan Pippen Brown Rodman and Harper. Those 5 flat out shutdown the opposing team and got the Bulls back into games when they were behind.

@@haroldbenton979 hell yeah they did! One of their specialties was trapping the ball handler along the sideline just as he crossed half court. No where to go. Can’t go backwards, can’t go out of bounds. Gotta pick up that dribble and hope a teammate moves to open space and the Bulls can’t rotate fast enough. The quicker guards or streak shooters could give them trouble at times. Guys such as Rex Chapman, Damon Stoudamire, and Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf but then they’d get punished in the post by Jordan. If that squad played in todays NBA, I say Kukoc would replace Longley at center. Kukoc would fit in perfectly in todays softer league without having to contend with physical forwards.

​@@edmondlau511 Do we really have to attempt to make Rodman look better by saying how "bad" Draymond would be? Different eras, and Draymond and Rodman were completely different defenders, even if they were both undersized. Draymond is more of a KG type of defender, using his 7'1" wingspan to disrupt and deflect. He literally just teleports to where help is needed at times, and is always talking letting his teammates know where to go. I also think Draymond was better if he is switched out onto a guard, especially at his peak. He's snuffed out point guards thinking they can go at him. And while he probably couldn't guard Shaq, I think Dray would hold his own as much as any other like sized PF could (he'd do better than Barkley, who's roughly the same height). Dray is probably the best defender for AD(no one makes AD work harder for each bucket), and it's not like Dray has not held his own against people way larger than him. In 2015 he was tasked with guarding Marc Gasol in the playoffs because Kerr wanted Bogut to roam off of Tony Allen and Dray held his own: Against Gasol he held him to sub 37% after Game 2: www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/marc-gasol-stats-vs-draymond-playoffs-2015 He made key defensive stops against Jokic: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZmkaNKcv7utdH0.html And he was versatile enough to guard guards/wings (Brunson/Jalen Brown) even though IMO he's past his defensive peak(2015-2019). Remember, earlier this year, he guarded KD and made him shoot 1/7(when Dray guarded him): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZmkaNKcv7utdH0.html To understand what Dray does defensively, this video here probably explains it best: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rp2Xmbt3m6rJY2w.html Rodman on the other hand really had 2 different ages of defense. His early Pistons days he was way more mobile and more versatile. While I don't think he had the defensive leadership qualities of Draymond, Rodman could teleport to anywhere on the floor. He could guard most wings and some guards (great option of players such Bird and Magic, could hold his own against Jordan), and still could guard the PFs and some centers. He agility was on another level, and he'd do anything to get in good position, and was just plain annoying. His Bulls days were definitely less agile. I probably wouldn't trust this version of Rodman to chase anyone around screens or switch onto a speedy PG like Pistons Rodman, but his added strength and amazing post defense made it so the Bulls essentially could play small ball and not be penalized (Bulls loved closing with Kukoc instead of Longley, and the trio or Jordan/Scottie/Rodman were the reason why). He'd be able to not move against most centers, and (though a young Shaq, so not peak) did amazing for someone his size again Shaq in the ECF. While Dray is probably more consistent with coming over for weak side vertical contests and blocks, Rodman was the much better charge taker, and flopped a lot more (this is meant to be in a good way) to iritate the opponent into mistakes. Also, while Dray is a good rebounder for his height, Rodman is the GOAT rebounder, so let's not discuss that. All in all, both are amazing defenders. We don't have to diss one to make the other look better. They are both top 5-10 defenders of all time MINIMUM, and if you were to put both of them on the court for one defensive stand , good luck scoring. You'd have Dray barking orders and switching relentlessly, and teleporting to block jumpshots and contest without fouling at the rim. All the while, Rodman is grabbing and flopping and switching as well, clapping and celebrating as he tips the ball 20 times to get the rebound. Those two would be hell on defense together, and when you eventually turn it over or miss, you'd have Dray trash talking in your left and Rodman celebrating and still locked elbows trying to box you out on your right. Oh, and if you just want a team of defense, as some of the comments below have done, here's mine (going 15 deep, bc why not) Payton Jordan Pippen KG Russell (WIth all that competitive fire, does this team ever lose lol) Kidd Dumars Kawhi Rodman Hakeem CP3 Tony Allen Dray Duncan Robinson Let me know what yall think, and who you'd have instead!

Draymond is far more impactful than Rodman. There is not comparison between the 2.

It was dirty too lol

Definitely low key dirty lmao

Not better than Olajuwon

@@deebofleebo6427 Dream may have been the greatest defensive big man at the 5 or 4, but Dream couldn't guard at all 5 positions like WORM. THAT'S WHAT MADE RODMAN THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME AT DEFENSE.

@@agentjames3083 Rodman could not guard any centers besides Shaq! Olajuwon is #1 all time in blocks and #9 all time in steals! Olajuwon has more steals than Lebron, Iverson, Isaiah Thomas, and Kobe! Goat defensive player and nobody comes close

@@deebofleebo6427 I think you need to look at film because RODMAN guarded EVERYBODY. Dream as great as he was didn't !!!

@@agentjames3083 No, Rodman was helpless against centers like David Robinson, Olajuwon, Ewing, Mourning, even Kemp used to dominate Rodman, you're literally just speaking in talking points! Olajuwon was able to switch and guard guards, could guard Jordan and Pippen on the perimeter, was getting steals out the hands of Magic, Isaiah, Stockton, Payton, and Rod Strickland! He is the greatest rim protector of all time, he's the only center even in the top 50 all time in steals at #9, the only player in history to record 200+ steals and blocks in a season, he recorded at least 100 steals and at least 200 blocks for his first 12 seasons, he was blocking 3p buzzer beaters to win Finals games, Rodman is an amazing defender, but he's nowhere near Olajuwon defensively

One of the greatest defenders of all time. In my opinion it's Russell, Rodman and B. Wallace in the top 3.

He did play his entire career the way he played in Detroit

Yep but he got a relative late start in the NBA and as he aged, he foot slower but bulked up and got stronger to start guarding more centers.

Olajuwon could've been DPOY every season for his first 12 years in the NBA

He was even better in Chicago Just didnt need to score anymore cuz he had Scottie and MJ

We do 😂

Yeah! Real hard for Lakers fans.

Wilt Chamberlin did

9 WORDS 9 HALL OF FAMERS TO TRIPLE TEAM WILT. SHOW ME CURRY PLAYOFF WITHOUT KLAY ??? IF HE CANT BEAT JA MORANT 1 ON 1 THAT MEANS CURRY AND BILL RUSSELL ARE NOBODIES WITHOUT SUPERTEMS.

you see that a lot today

League doesnt wants players to play D anymore... Sadly. Its all about flashy shoots, 3's and high scores.

You can make an argument for Rodman being the greatest defensive player ever. Rodman went up against the likes of shaq, zo, Ewing, Karl Malone, kemp, Barkley, AND Jordan (many other hall of famers I can’t think off the top of my head) No hate on bill at all (RIP), just saying you can make a case for Dennis as being the goat defender.

Bill russell guarding plumbers. Stop the hype

No, Rodman is more faster and Smoth in difference

😂😂😂 like a mountain full of muscle?😂😂😂 ask Shaquille O'Neal bcuz rodman is the one guarding him

No it's not disrespectful at all. I'm a Celtics fan thats my fav team but he cant guard the little guys too. Rodman could guard 1-5. Bill is one of the best shot blockers ever but Rodman could legit guard any man god has ever made. Look at the difference in competition too but it's all good i respect your opinion bro

@@bbvextra , Russell can guard west pretty good, so as robertson if he bridged the imaginary gap. A lot of guards back then said that they miss layups coz they were looking for him, including one time he's actually sitting on the bench. Imagine that much impact on defense? I haven't seen anyone make that much difference on defense. Don't get me wrong, rodman is may favorite newer defensive player but with the little clips I've seen and interviews from his contemporaries, I'm convinced Bill Russell is the ultimate defensive player. With rodman coming second of course. You can't surpass the MASTER!

Rodman was more versatile imo. You said it yourself, they would miss their Lay Ups because bill was hunting to block that lay up. Rodman guarded people on the perimeter, his Detroit Days were awesome to watch. (You stil can find some of those late 80/begin 90's games on yt)

Damn y'all really find any reason to complain about LeBron

@@oceanman4905yup

But he was so thorough in so many aspects of the game. (1 ) ran the court . ( 2) rebounded- relentlessly. ( 3) guarding a strong big man was not his strong point, but could play it adequately ( 4) ..could shut down anyone else on the remaining 4 pos.(5) tireless defender.

@@homoerectus744no one wants to speak about the level of competition Rodman had to face consistently

Olajuwons defensive impact was above his and the same for David Robinson
