I already included this game in the Rodman vs Shaq documentary, and LamarMatic already did a great job highlighting Rodman's defense in this game, but I wanted to make a separate video that focused purely on Rodman's defense on Shaq during Game 1 of the 96 ECF.
After abusing Longley and Wennington, Shaq only scored 2 points when Rodman switched on him, then padded his stats in the 4th quarter when they got blown out
"Rodman has as many rebounds as the Magic has as a team"
And they had Shaq... 😱
How did he rebound so well? Was he really 6'7? He looks more 6'8 to me but that doesn't really make it less incredible.
As the magic do as a team*****
kingrobinho777 he knew exactly where the ball was gonna go from the way it hit the rim
@@kingrobinho777 he was like 5 11 when he was 19 and had 2 fight 4 the ball but when he grew he still had the same mintallity but ia now taller
Anyone here because Shaq said his Lakers team would beat the Bulls because no one on the Bulls could guard him? Funny that he forgot Rodman.
Thomas Thiry you’re comparing a 23 year old Shaq to Prime Shaq? Really?
Seems like prime Shaq could beat everyone.
@@PussInBoots3 Lakers shaq also got locked by Rodman
Bruce Banner false
Thomas Thiry Keep sleeping on prime shaq 😂😂. He’d give Rodman buckets all day
Probably the most underrated defender at the time. Everyone wanted to be Jordan, the jumpshots, dunks. I just wanted to be like Rodman, defense and boards.
Yeah me too
he wasnt underrated ... he got really high reputation for his defense at the time
Agree same things happened against Malone
underrated as a player maybe but not as a defender everyone would put him (or russell) as the best defender of all time
The R. not in the post!!
People don't realize Rodman's work ethic. He put enormous effort in in the gym and was insanely strong for his size. He was also obsessive about studying video, learning every opponents tendencies and how they impacted everything from backing down in the post to the general trajectory of their misses. The intelligence clearly displayed in his approach to the game is vastly underrated. And that's not even factoring in the psychological games he'd play against opponents either.
HooliganMovement 101% correct. watch his feet and legs when guarding shaq. he doesnt stand up straight, instead he kind of leans toward shaq to achieve the best leverage
@@cammac66 that's what I do when I have a bigger player posting me up also. Gotta be smart.
The pschological games he played against opponents is kind of forgotten today, but he was among the greatest to ever do it and it had huge payoffs for his team. When I think back to his time with Chicago and the playoff and championship series, one of the strongest memories is Rodman getting into the heads of their opponents. He should of gotten the MVP in the series against Utah, the biggest story going at the time was Dennis mentally crushing them. Even more impressive was how he did it, not through trash talking and bullying or cheap shit, but through all out defensive ability while staying calm and collected.
Dennis Rodman a winning player awesome role player It's stories of Dennis Rodman partying all night and no sleep and coming out and playing games and playing great
Is there a documentary on this?
The Worm could lockdown anyone in the NBA today, he'd be laughing all day and night
JimmyJames82 doubt it! He will get fouled out in 2nd quarter, players and refs are too sensitive nowadays.
Refs would call foul on him just when he enters the parking lot.
James Harden :
@@bangbanghands Kevin Durant: hey
Gerald Gutierrez of course he could, if you can hold down Shaq you can hold anyone.
This is what makes Rodman legend for his defensive play he guarded malone and shaq being able to stop these two is like facing a tank coming at you lol.
Rodman is ridiculously physically strong. Shaq can't move him when he's backing him up. Just astounding strength.
That stubborn determination and never say die attitude. Truly a grandmaster of his game.
Don’t skip leg day bro
Dennis took advantage of hand checking
@@cdubb9349 Yeah but still, he has like 1/2 ft height and like 70 pounds of disadvantage.
@@cdubb9349 you think hand checking worked against Shaq?
Despite his weird activities off the court, Dennis Rodman has to be one of the most intelligent basketball players of all time without a single doubt. GOAT defender.
I think when people get that smart, something tends to give with their personality or lifestyle in order to deal with everything and stay somewhat sane
@@Garf2OI agree. The most brilliant minds are often the most overworked and overloaded.
Man you don't know how much I miss this era of NBA.
Nostalgia everytime
It wasn’t nostalgia the nba was at its greatest because almost every team had a future HOF’er. It was the deepest talentwise NBA has ever been. Now it’s very shallow and the players with future HOF cred conglomerate to create super teams because there isn’t enough talent to go around.
I do toooooo... I was in high school at the time
Nah I do, nothing like it
wE dooOoone wIth tHe 90’s…😢
you know something was odd when shaq win his first championship after rodman retired
Hi.
That shit is actually insane LOL!
No lol he won his first championship when Kobe developed into a star
Yeah because rodman was shaws cryptanite
Not because of that, he beat the bulls in the playoffs 1995. I’m sure there were other factors.
Rodman was so athletically gifted, freakishly strong and with a very high basketball IQ. Studying his opponents and learning to anticipate their misses; ball-spin, the arc of their shot, etc.
This is why Rodman is in my all-time starting 5. Most people's all time 5 is all about scoring, but only one person can score at a time... everyone lineup thrives with a player like Rodman on the floor, and he was the best at doing the dirty work the game has ever seen.
I have him as my 6th man for my all time team.
He’s also in my all/time starting 5. Who are your next 4?

Dennis playing like it was his last day on earth, what a GOAT
It's amazing that Rodman had the strength and leverage to push Shaq out past his comfort area. Rodman was listed at 6'8" but I've read he's probably closer to 6'6" or 6'7". Shaq was 300+ pounds at that time and for Rodman to give up the amount of height and weight to him yet still be able to effectively guard him was nothing short of amazing.

not to mention Rodman had 21 rebounds and 13 points in this game.
Definitely one of the best defenders ever.
on that brutal defense, rodman still make a 13 points and what a holy water gun 21 rebounds... amazing
Shaq is a goddam house and Rodman controlled him completely. That is insane. Rodman was and is a truly a special player.
😂😂 Shaq was a house you that dude was a huge dude
Dennis Rodman is a winning player any championship team would want and need players like him
Rodman does not even back down. Crazy defense
When shaq met a real gangster..
I remember all 6 of Chicago's championship runs vividly. Rodman was the difference maker in the 2nd 3 championships. He is a tenacious defender and has a deep understanding of the game. He made a decision back in the 80's that he would let his teammates focus on offense and he would do the 'dirty work' of the game.
He wasnt on the team that won 2nd and 3rd championship. He was the difference maker in the 4th championship against Seattle.
@@symz81 English may not be your mother tongue. The 2nd 3 championships. As in the 2nd set of 3 championships the Bulls won in the 90's. I know Rodman didn't join the team until 1995. I was alive and watched all the games back then.
@@iamthem.a.n.middleagednerd1053 I dont think you know how to write clearly... would have made more sense if u wrote 2nd three peat... If English is your first language you should be ashamed of yourself
@@symz81 he meant 2nd 3-peat
He wasn't there for 2 & 3. So not such a vivid memory dude.
If you count rebounds as 2points, then Rodman would be averaging 40points per game.
crewcutter2030 a fantasy basketball beast
Wilt would average 102 points
NBA FG% for teams runs about 43%-49% so I'd say a rebound is closer to 1pt.
@@jimjim3979 lol
shaq couldn't move rodman, he had great strength in his legs.
LilPrince Killa he would ride the bike machine every game before AND AFTER, he was a machine, his side step is stupid fast, its like as fast as dudes a few inches shorter runnin in a straight line with the ball, rodman was the man yo
This man never Skip Leg Day
To be honest people got away with so many fouls cause Shaq is unfair, its imposible to guard him cleanly Rodman was doing every thing from book puting his knee under shaq, holding with both hands pushing him with both hands on pass, hooking him with non contesting hand on shaqs attempts.
@@mpetkovic26 it's completely fair. Shaq was 320-350lbs at his heaviest. Refs call fouls relatively, even in today's game. Bigger players take harder fouls. Look at Zion in college, he didn't get calls, he got beat up every game. Taking a hit at 300+ pounds feels a whole lot different than at 180.
@@ConnorLipke im not talking about hits im talking about pulls drags knees under hooks and such
Rodman was a freak of nature! He's giving up all that size to Shaq, yet he held his ground with Shaq! Not just that, there were countless times on the fast break when you would see Rodman outrun many players. The guy never tired! Just an amazing athlete.
A force of nature
Shaq's kryptonite was always players w/agility, his "unstoppable dominance" that has been pushed all these years was actually against slower footed players.
This the Proof, that Dennis Rodman is the Best Defensive Player of All Time.
You have to put the worm Dennis Rodman up there with other great defenders such as Bill Russell and Hakeem Olajuwon
Ben Wallace has an arguement he shut Shaq down in the finals
everyone will argue about who is the GOAT but no one dares to put anyone above dennis rodman about defense
Bill russell
@@livebreatheeatfitnessco.4146 shaq wasn't shut down in that series. He still averaged 26 and dominated but Wallace did a good job
Rodman was used to throwing around 500 lbs dudes like Paul Wight in WCW so guarding 303 lbs Shaq was a cakewalk for him.
Shaq was bigger than that in 96.
These games were intense! We need to see this brand of basketball again
+Charles Coine hope you're ready for shorter careers and players out for more of the season due to injuries
@@cMckone93 what? They are always injured now anyway 😂
It’s insane how well Rodman kept Shaq away from the basket. He must have had insane strength, the way he held his ground.

WARRIORS DON'T RELY ON PHYSIQUE..WE RELY ON PURE SKILL.
stephancurry is the best yea thats why you lost in the finals after winning 73, no skill, no DEFENSE, NO SKILL UNDER PRESSURE.
stephancurry is the best weak ppl would say that.
+stephancurry is the best and the Bulls didn't? They were the most well rounded team un history. Wanna run? We can do that with 33 yr old per player average. Wanna grind us? We'll play that with our sound and suffocating defense played by 2 and then 3 all time 1st team defenders. Wanna jack threes? Kerr, Kukoc, and Bucheler were 3 of the most efficient in the league. They were the UnbeataBulls for a reason man.
i always think, how did he do that? shaq size was almost 3times bigger than him one word INCREDIBLE Rodman
Rodman is all heart.
Steve l ya no skill whatsoever
dobattlers Atleast he doesnt play games for a living
dobattlers it's nice to know someone can excel in the highest levels thru sheer determination.
dobattlers I didn’t know guarding 1-5 and being the best rebounder in an era with; Ewing, Shaq, Robinson, Hakeem, A late Kareem, Larry Johnson, perhaps Cummings, Mourning, Mutumbo, Parish, etc. Relative to size, hands, and positioning Rodman is the greatest rebounder ever. All those guys are brutes and this 6’7, 6’8 man is bodying you on the glass. At a time where you took pride in DOMINATING the post. It’s really humiliating when you think about it.
dobattlers You have no skill in life, nigga.
Dennis almost outrebounding the whole Magic team while guarding Shaq. Insane. This is why people say the 80s and 90s were when men played basketball, today are just a bunch of boys and spoiled brats.
Agree, it was NBA's best and glory time.

They need each other
He was certainly the missing ingredient
You're absolutely right. We were lacking at the 4 once Horace left
As young as I was, I remember thinking MJ, Pippen, and Rodman....good luck with that.
And lebron could not win his 3 titles without bosh wade kyrie and love
I like how Rodman's body, while on defense, became 45 degrees against Shaq. He knew how heavy and powerful Shaq is.
This 95-96 Bulls team would have swept 2016 warriors with ease. To be honest I think this magic team would beat the warriors also. But how about rodman? This man guarded shaq better then anyone I've ever seen. Shaq could not move Rodman literally. And he out rebounded the entire magic team by himself laughs. 95-96 Bulls are the greatest basketball team ever.
yeah
curry was wrongfully fouled out in game 6, he was hot that game....cavs got a bit lucky.....based on how warriors played during the regular season it seemed like they were unbeatable.....give them their props and not compare the eras of the nba....MJ is the greatest of all time and he couldn't do it alone, he had a great team. Curry is the greatest shooter of all time.
JddSaun And Curry couldn't do it alone a.k.a 5 screen possession offense. You really think the Warriors wouldn't get swept by the 96 Bulls with ease? Rodman would've made Draymond Green cry like a lil bitch and i'd say Draymond was the Dubs most productive player the entire post-season
WARRIORS THREE POINT PROWESS SHOULDN'T BE UNDERRATED. HOW DO YOU GUARD A KID LIKE CURRY...HE WOULD HAVE UNLEASHED HIS TRADEMARK THREE POINT BARRAGE..HE AND THOMSON WOULD SURELY BE GAME TO THE 95-96 BULLS
leinard wangilisasi so many bullshit calls cost them the championship....as phill jackson would say, lbrons special treatment.
This is why I tell people that Rodman could guard Draymond Green EASILY because the way he guarded and messed up Shaq mentally and Physically was truly remarkable. You can just tell by Shaqs body language he was uncomfortable when Rodman was guarding him unlike when he was guarded by Chicagos other big men which Shaq showed comfort. Rodman was special.
Like guarding draymond is an actual flex lol
Dennis Rodman was a complete basketball player. Not only was his motor was always revved up to redline, but at 4:14 after another defense stop against Shaq, he put in that little extra effort to pick the defense and help create an easier shot. Coaches just loved him and it's easy to understand.
Damn rodman was insanely strong
This is the only person I’ve ever seen lock up Shaq when he played for Orlando or the Lakers. MJ is the undisputed goat but people don’t realize how good this bulls team was. They were a powerhouse defensively
My man Rodman his Defensive Prowess and ability to defund all 5 Positions that's a older Rodman at that Excellent defense on Shaq who's post play is amazing and arguably one of the best that goes to show you what kind of person and player he is like he said "HARD WORK BABY HARD WORK HARD WORK" 5 Time World Champion he earned his No Doubt
Salute to you Rodman. I appreciate watching you play the game of basketball. A true competitor and great defender. Greatest rebounder of all time.
Great Video. I only realize now that Rodman was FREAKISHLY STRONG. Very Decieving. This was a good Video on Dennis Rodman
How is it deceiving? That guy is ripped and pure muscle.
Best defensive team I've ever seen by far. Funnily enough, at 3:40 Ron Harper makes the exact same defensive play on Shaq that MJ made on Malone at the end of game 6 in 98. The entire process from waiting until they look away thinking no double is coming, to reversing course and sneaking in, to the tomohawk swipe to rip the ball free. It's seemingly identical in every way!
yes I caught that too, for sure Tex Winter and Phil discussed that with them. Tex is under rated.
4:15 shows how much faith the bulls had in Rodman. Isolated on the baseline with shaq being around 100 pounds lighter, nobody in NBA history can say their team LET them do this (and have it work!) Rodman the most unique player in NBA history, one of the greatest ever but still under appreciated today.
This defense is insane. He is still underrated. He can guard #1~5. no doubt.
when i see this 90's nba videos i realize how incredible shaq was!!! btw no one could really locks down shaq...but rodman is the one who come closer!!! maybe the best defender i'v ever seen strong like a bull, dirty and crazy!
“Come closer” 🤨 wym bro he locked him down 😂
From watching this video Rodman always had help. Some one always threw a hand in there. It was a good game plan not just one on one dominance. Also his technique was on point. Arm positioning, hip placement, spacing, and foot placement were perfect. He made sure he stayed under Shaq without being too low so he could impair him from taking a clean jump but still contest a shot if he did get to jump.
He didn't always have help Shaq was single covered on some of those plays.
What a beast...do we realize that rodman was the only man to guard shaq like this. He is in the hall of fame JUST for defense..let that sink in
Rodman wasn't guarding Shaq for long stretches like actual Cs would so it's kind've a smaller sample size. The Cs that did neutralize him though would make him work harder than usual on defense (95 finals).
Rodman is not a center and never have body/weight/height of a center, but he guard the best center in the world and made them frustrated and intimidated, basically disable/dismantle opponent best offensive player. It's very hard to guard O'Neal, that big boy is huge, tall and fast at the same time, but Rodman made all those attributes disappeared. Impressive performance.
This proves Rodman would have easily shut down LeBron
studydoc no it doesn’t. Only thing Shaq could do was play 3 ft from the rim. Only thing Rodman did was not allow Shaq to move him off his spot. Took him away completely lmao . Bron has a much more versatile game and plays off of picks. Rodman could of gave a young Bron problems, but not the Bron that was in MIA and past that.
Afro Reviewer in that era dumbass . Today’s players are a lot more skilled, better shooters, ball handlers, and play way too much pick n rolls. Rodman wouldn’t have a chance against lebron.
Robb James I agree . He was too clumsy

+Kakka CarrotCake meh.. to say that is a slippery slope, especially when referring to rodman, he had the 7 inch growth spurt while working as an airport janitor or whatever, that got him noticed by small. collegiate team, where he honed his skills or however you would like to put it. rodman had a motor that didn't quit, and he also adapted to his role as a defensive specialist and agitator against the other teams best player.. but to say size doesn't matter is a little silly.
spoder men yeye
+Kakka CarrotCake If Shaq didn't have his physical size and prowess, he wouldn't been able to push guys back and dunk right on there face. Size very much matters.
Bill Mitchell true
This is just gold. Rodman has concrete in his guts. And when I look closely, although leaning and taking punishment, his defense is CLEAN. He had the will to take the bumps. A testament to focus.
Damn.. 21 rebs
5:07 Rodman gave these Bulls another dynasty run with his intensity and rebounding. The Bulls just out hustled on the boards and that was led by the Menace himself. Rodman played basketball like a hockey player just desperately trying to repossess the ball at every turn.
Rodman was a freak of nature, and he had incredible basketball iq to back it up…legendary he locked up Shaq in LA too.
Rodman was simply a great athlete who played with great effort. A man in his time.
How was Rodman so powerful? P4P he was maybe the strongest guy in NBA history.
Dude lived in the gym watch his interviews
LilPrince Killa Funny you mention Lebron, I feel Rodman's physique was very similar to his but even Lebron as strong as he is, I doubt he could bang with dudes like Shaq on the inside even if he tried.
LilPrince Killa Of those you mentioned, I believe Jordan and Pippen were the best pure athletes, but Lebron probably has more athletic ability than anyone who's ever been his size or larger. Jordan was just as athletic if not more than Lebron however, people compare Kobe to Jordan most often but really Jordan was actually much more impressive physically than Kobe ever was. They just had a similar approach to the game and Kobe was a little better at shooting.
LilPrince Killa Kobe wasn't as gifted athletically as Jordan, Jordan had a vertical leap of 48 inches while Kobe's was only 38. Kobe was a great athlete but he was more skill and will than anything, not a freak of nature like Lebron, or Jodan. I think you're underrating Lebron as an athlete as well, he's just as big actually heavier now than KG ever was and he's far more acrobatic and explosive. Take Lebron's speed and explosiveness and apply it to any position, even a point guard with that level athleticism would be impressive much less a 6'8" guy that's 260 plus.
LilPrince Killa I realize that that's only one area of athleticism and not the entire thing, but physically Kobe had no advantages over Jordan. He wasn't, faster, stronger or more explosive. And skill wise he was a better long range shooter but that's it.
Penny dropped 38 this game and they still lost. Shaq was swept 5 times in the 90s. Outclassed by every elite big he faced. Swept by Hakeem, malone, and a 2nd year duncan. Yet stupid people will say he carried kobe. Lakers couldn't get through that western conference until kobe took over
He did carry Kobe
ClutchSkeet Shaq didn’t carry Kobe but Shaq was definitely the best player on the Lakers from 2000 - 2002 and the main reason they won those titles. Kobe was very important too, but Kobe is also a big reason they lost the 2004 finals, so he wasn’t all helpful. And the 1995 loss wasn’t Shaq’s fault he put up amazing numbers it’s just the Rockets got hot and took advantage of the Magic’s relative playoff inexperience (outside of Horace Grant who didn’t play that well nonetheless). 1998 and 1999 are not fair cause Shaq was dealing with weight and injury problems, and also he didn’t even play that bad considering.
Shaq won all 3 Finals MVP awards. I called that carrying your team including Kobe
@@jsn23nc Check the stats throughout all those 3 postseason runs. Kobe was never carried, and by that retarded-ass logic, then every player who won Finals MVP carried their teams, which is asinine.
he did carry Kobe, the PER difference alone is huge, much less the actual points, which is also huge. Shaq AND Kobe TOGETHER could not get past the jazz for 3 years, until Phil Jackson came and cut the scrubs, got more defensive players (like Fish and Fox), and instituted the triangle offense, which let Kobe get wide open all the time because Shaq would draw the double.
Everyone else uses their arms, Dennis Rodman used his whole body to check Shaq
People didn't realize how strong Dennis Rodman truly was. I also seen Ben Wallace shut Shaq down as well. LOL
Both undersized bigs who were super strong
Neither one of them shut him wtf he killed both of them.

Also the Bulls didn't excessively double team doing that would've given the Magic more open shot opportunities, they mixed it up to throw Shaq off on some of those plays Shaq was looking the other way so he didn't see it coming.
1:38 Right there. The night for Shaq (mentally) ended right there. Nobody (with a few exceptions) would do that to Shaq.
I love watching these, I just wish it was HD.. after awhile it starts giving me a headache
Everyone in the interviews is always saying how INSANELY STRONG Rodman was for his build. I mean, he LOCKED UP the MOST UNSTOPPABLE force the NBA has ever seen.

Nobody Touches Jordan Oh okay thats cool good luck with the channel, I see your subs are going way up by the day. Also just a suggestion but you could do Tayshaun prince(Pistons) defense on Kobe in 04. Bowen has always did a solid job on Kobe but If you look at the numbers nobody did a better job consistently on Kobe then Tayshuan Prince. 24.2 ppg on 43% 3.2 TO vs TP for his career.
watching this 90's nba videos, i remember how incredible shaq was!!! lock him down was like make him under 30 points and under 70% from the field!!! btw was impossible to really lock him down but Rodman was the one who come closer, maybe the best defender i'v ever seen for sure the best difensive rebounder ever pound per pound!!!
This my friends is why dennis is a hall of famer..people look at points, percentages...streaks... but sheer ill just do anything to win and dive and punch and take beatings..dennis is the all time best in that category..which is why hes a unanimous hall of famer
Dennis' thing is truly extraordinary on an athletic level taking into account the weight difference between him and Shaq. You have to remember that this team was a defending machine. They had the best defensive average of the decade, that is no small feat. Harper was an outstanding defensive player throughout his career.
“Everybody wanna be MJ, not willing to play pippen” -Dax
Despite being an oddball. Rodman was my favorite player. I tried playing just like him in high school in the 90s. They would put me with players 6 inches taller than me.
Only Rodman can guard Shaq like that and with less injury, 95-96 bulls where in the big 3 is Pippen, Jordan and Rodman, damn team !#91
Rodman is a mutant on how physical he is
Rodman goes down as the the most valuable rebounder and defender in history. He could guard 1-5 and snatch 20 rpg, even at only 6’7. What a stud.
Rodman uno de los mejores defensores de la NBA saludos desde España
he can guard either any position...best defender and rebound king
This team has 3 of the top 5 defenders in the league, another top 15 defender in Ron Harper, the best rebounder, the best 6th man who would have started on almost every other team in the league, and one of the best shooters ever who at the time was probably the best in the league. Yet somehow the narrative is that only Bron stacks his teams?
Perfectly written. Oh how we easily forget and let the media dictate our perception
lol Rodman looking like he's trying to hold up a falling oak tree, and succeeding!
Rodman is the definition of a guy that is all heart and never complains even the fact he's sick and this guy could guard all 5 positions. I would love if NBA went back to this kind of era where physicality is the heart of the game unlike today's soft ass crybabies and even a drama queen(well not mentioning any names but we all know who this is).
The NBA in the 90s was a whole different beast

cjavier gutierrez i think they would have pippen guarding LeBron, rodman needs to be near the hoop denying the bigman and ready to kick out a rebound. pippen could put some heat on lebron though, i dont think hes gonna shut em down though, lebron would still get his against rod or pip, closest thing to lebron that rodman guarded was probably karl malone and most of his game was in the paint, like i dont see rodman out guarding lebron on the 3pt line.
hanamichi (rodman) vs mikio (shaq) awesome
it's not Mikio dude, it's Morishige find out yourself
yeah, Hiroshi Morishige was supposed to be Shaq, It's a shame that the Author ended the series before we got to see their fights though.
I love Rodman’s energy , he’s one of my favourite NBA player all them !!!
Looks like Rodman was an expert in turning his body into an immovable object using great leverage techniques...
5:02 THAT REBOUND
You guys see how Shaq can't box out Rodman in the post? That's insane strength lol At 3:10, Shaq tries to push Rodman, but has to actually go AROUND Rodman ! lol
Rodman is definitely one of the best defenders of all time. And I'd say pound for pound the best rebounder ever. He may of partied hard but he worked even harder. Not too many ppl go in and practice for a few hours after a game but he did. Love the ppl saying he couldn't guard lebron😆 Rodman said it himself lbj only has a couple moves so he'd have no problem defending him. He'd probably make lebron foul out with all the charges he'd take cuz ya know 90 percent of lebrons game is attacking the basket.
Thank you and God bless
lebron would flop all day if rodman guard him...rodman is the best defender in NBA
My era ....When teams played defense lol
Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, and Rodman coming at you on the break - you’re in trouble. Understatement of a lifetime…
lol. The only game where I remember Rodman primarily guarding Shaq was when he was a Piston. Detroit won, but Shaq had like 46 and 20. Worm is one of my 10 fav players ever. But he couldn't guard Shaq lol. What this video mostly showed was the Bulls outstanding help defense.
