  • This is the reason behind why Michael Jordan decided to recruit Dennis Rodman to the Chicago bulls... Scottie pippen didn't want him at first, but MJ knew they needed his rebounding.

      Rodman was a three-time NAIA All-American in college who averaged 25.7 points and 15.7 rebounds per game before going on to star in the NBA with the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks.

    Saw an interview where they talked about warm ups, Rodman would just watch people shoot, just standing there.

    He did that so he would know where the ball would go.

      It’s just that whatever a player’s best talents are, they master and stick to those talents because that’s what makes them most valuable to the team.
      If they try to force something that’s not exactly their best strength, the NBA competition is so elite that they’d get exploited.

      Rodman was a beast and had about 12,000 rebounds in his career. Wilt Chamberlain had about 24,000.

    He could also guard all five positions, and was one of the greatest defensive players of all-time! Nobody else could shut Shaq down, but Dennis Rodman could! He was a phenomenal athlete, and he always gave 100%!

    Rebounding in theory creates negative points for the other team, further it creates time consumed. Very valuable. Rodman legend.
