Dennis Rodman (9pts/19rebs/11offensive/5asts) vs. Sonics (1996 Finals)

- Dennis steps up when the team needs him the most and plays a fabulous game 6 which leads to a championship. Rodman crashes the boards with intensity (he repeated the finals record of 11 offensive rebounds) and does all the little things - picks up a few assists, steals some balls, gets some calls against Kemp. There's a reason why Bulls out-rebounded the Sonics by 16 in this game, which in fact was the main reason for the W, and of course they wouldn't have done it without Dennis. June 16, 1996.

The media and refs HATED Rodman, but his teammates and especially the fans LOVED him. I sure do miss watching him.
Rodman should have won Finals MVP. without him, Bulls would have lost the series for sure
Jordan and Pippen never talked to him
@@wuliwei6939 outside court
1000% facts!
@@fluffynoses yep!
The way Dennis would get the crowd absolutely roaring, it was amazing stuff. My favourite player of all time.
Now it would be 3 techs and a 10 year suspension
this man got fouled he stood up and celebrated. what a magnificent athlete. 100/100
Bc he flopped lol
Notice that Rodman doesn't whine to the refs when he's fouled hard. He just gets up, hustles, and laughs.
In this era "superstars" would flop and complain to the refs
Rodman flopped and complained a lot
growing up my dad always told hustle like rodman
He whines if he thinks it will gives him advantages, he's fully understood the mental and psychological games of the sports lmao
@@crist3809 Jordan said that Rodman is really a genius player he played with.
Any basketball fan that was alive at this time and watched these games should feel lucky. This was perhaps one of the greatest teams in NBA history put together. I'll miss this era. Long live MJ!
The new Raptors with general Mighty Mouse beat them that year.
I was lucky to watch that game in Toronto.
A 6-7 guy, who weighed maybe 215, tied the NBA finals record for offensive rebounds. Think about that for a minute. He routinely outplayed guys like Kemp, Shaq and Malone, who towered over him. The guy wasn't just a hard worker, he was a master of psychology. He got in guys' heads, made them take stupid fouls, and by the fourth quarter they were just f---ed. If I'm making my dream team, Rodman's on it, flaky behavior and all, because he gets my other guys a dozen extra possessions a game easy.
He’s a solid 230-240 in Chicago. In Detroit yes and he was killing everyone on boards then too so point stands 🙌👏
You will never find an under-sized man that dominates the board like Dennis Rodman, he is super special kind.
There is Ben Wallace tho
Charles barkley
@@jimmypachuau7869 Yezzirrr...Sir Charles was a monster
Ben Wallace, Sir Charles and Rodman were all undersized beasts.
I'll put Shawn Marion up there too. He be having some crazy rebound numbers at 6'7
Rodman should've won MVP of this Finals, but the media voters were not going to let that happen. I say this as a huge Jordan fan.
Well, come on, you're never gonna win MVP with a handful of points, especially not when a teammate is out there putting down 40 a night!! He was an important part of the team, but he was never THE MOST deserving of MVP!!!
I watched all the games back then. Dennis deserved absolutely the MVP. (And I am a crazy Jordan fan).
1-st, because he was an equal factor as MJ. He just dominated the whole finals with his presence. And 2-nd, because these are the only Finals, in which Jordan wasn's so dominant and effective. He was a bit tired from the 72:10 season. His stats were not very good (27 Pts with 42% FG) compared to his Finals averages of 33.6 and 48%. The same could be said of the Finals MVP in 2005, which should be given to Manu Ginobili.
bobykrumov now that i think about it, you're absolutely correct. This also coming from an INSANE Jordan fan.
I don't know about MVP but he saved their but in game 2.
Rodman was a large contributor but Jordan was still finals mvp
It wasn't just his hustle and physical ability, Rodman also had an incredibly high basketball IQ. He just knew how to play the game. I think the only reason why this Bulls team didn't sweep Seattle was because they wanted to win it in Chicago.
His wonderful passing gets lost with all the rebounding and defense he played with... Micheal Jordan said that Dennis learned the triangle offense within 10 min...... Because he was guarding against it when he played in Detroit. Fkng genius!
Mario Pantoja it's so amazing how he could learn the triangle offense simply by watching how his then opponents played while people in the team had difficulty picking it up 😳
@@beautifullion69 yea that's definitely a sign of intelligence to be able to pick up on patterns like that by himself.
you would love Rodman to be on your team, not against your team
Him more than anyone I think he was relentless
When he has his shit together lol
@@Cg-ru3eh I hear he was like an Energizer bunny hed do treadmill for an hour after the game as a "cooldown". That kind of energy definitely gonna be relentless.
Fact that he can make friends with north Korean dictators says something lmao.
@@ethosterros9430 yea that’s true I remember hearing that he would party hard and still be in crazy shape and was willing to dive for the ball like no ones else in nba history. He would sacrifice everything for a loose ball haha
The fact he was only 6”6 and dominated guys incredible
Doug Fresh44 I was just watching a game where he was competing against everyone in the opposing team for a rebound and HE got possession of it. It was laughable! If you're not gonna hustle as hard he is, don't even bother trying to fight him for ball because you're gonna lose.
@@beautifullion69the hustle is only half of it, the guy studied the physics of the rebound
DENNIS RODMAN:
NBA Hall of Famer
2 Time Defensive player of the year Awardee
5 Championship rings (note: always a vital component in any respective team)
2-Detroit Rings & 3 Chicago Bulls Rings
7 time Consecutive years Rebounding titles
7 Time member All Defensive 1st Team
Top 10 NBA's Best Power Forwards of All Time
*now tell me how the hell you compare him to Bosch, Birdman Andersen, Bynum and Kenneth Faried? without a doubt Rodman is a Legend! and forever will always be Dennis Rodman! nobody compares to his Hardwork and Skills! it his Heart, his desire to rebound more and defend more are his main weapon!
You know Oakley and Duncan have more rebounds than he does?!!
Stonemansteve II And you know, that Rodman only played 14 years meanwhile Duncan and Oakley played 20 years in NBA right?.
and one of the most exciting player to watch
Note: He helped Robinson win MVP while on the Spurs and they had a 62-20 season as well. Lost in playoffs because Rodman boycotted lol
Ross Ryhan Garcia and you don't mention his athletic abilities and his mind games that en Chicago win many games en the board , the guy win with his attitude alone then the rest is bonus 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The best hall of famer scorer. The real players love Rodman
the sequence from 2:20-2:45 is amazing. Tremendous stamina.
Rodman was on another level this game. Remember it like it was yesterday
Best rebounder I've ever seen
Go to 3:30 for a perfect example of how in-tune Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman were. Rodman has the ball, and looks to pass to Pip. Pip’s like “Nah, we got Mike goin’ back door” and points down to MJ. Rodman’s like “word?” and Pip’s like “word,” and Dennis tosses a perfect touch pass down to MJ who finishes with the easy lay-up. These guys were the best.
You can see how much the ball love him..the ball always bouncing to him..
Rodman the legend..
Kemp and Rodman went at it that whole series. This is warrior basketball. Too bad it wont be like this again. The league is saturated with skinny jeans, man purses, flopping all over the damn court, and whining after a little contact. Not to say that there aren't any great players with unbelievable talent, but man.....
Bs
+Marco Deuce Yeah I agree. Too many Euro style players today.
+Marco Deuce Only problem with this is that Rodman probably wore skinny jeans and carried a man purse at times ;)
Lol true
+David Huang No there isn't.
I wished there was a “Dennis Rodman" in the today's nba, nothing bullshit but monster on rebounds , defense and a heart beat of the team.......
HE is special
Faried came into the league with those trait, but he hasn't improved much since his rookie year. And he doesn't have the bulldog in him the Rodman did. Though to be fair, Rodman is a little cuckoo in between the ears.
the bullshit it whats make him great this 96 rodman is actually a shell of his self
Draymond green... Obviously not as great rebounder but makes up for it with his passing.
Anthony Hutchins your just lying to yourself now. Green has no where near the hustle Rodman had not even close.
In retrospect...Rodman won them that 96 championship. 2 games where he had to grab 11 offensive rebs. Is ridiculous.
And some clutch free-throws. This was Rodmans finals without him they would not have beat Seattle
Rodman absolutely dominated this game
I've never been big on basketball just casually getting into it now and it's really nice to see that players other than the scorer getting the respect they deserve like it's pretty clear how despite not being the one to make all the shots he was pivotal to his team success.
Clearly the MVP of this series
Dennis Rodman was the Best Rebounder in the Game
Charles Taylor definitely. Maybe in history when you consider he wasn’t a 7’0”+ center
It's hard to find another player matching Rodman skills thesedays.
i wish there was another player in the league today that played with the same effort and passion as rodman. one of the funnest players to watch!!!!
At 2:40 Wow, that is a very big awesome moment. Dennis is a fearless competitor and a showman.
The best part.
Rodman also had 11 offensive rebounds in game 2 of this series. He was sensational in the 1996 NBA Finals, and not far behind Jordan for MVP of the series imo. In this series... Rodman average 7.2 points per game, 14.7 rebounds per game, and had a total of 41 offensive rebounds... nearly 7 OFFENSIVE rebounds per game. He had a total of 88 rebounds in the 6 games.
This shit is crazy, damn.
Rodman the most important player on the bulls
Look at Rodman's speed @ 2:35
Hahaha like a tazmanian devil!!!
RODMAN IS INCREDIBLE REBOUNDER AND DEFENDER
2:39 rodman was doing a jordan's lay up....
*The way Jordan held that ball at the end!!! SO MUCH PASSION!!!*
It was Father's Day and it was the first Finals that he won without his dad. Lots of emotion.
@@LawrenceAugust_ Wow that's powerful!
When a player can rebound like Dennis then also can pass and assist and blocks .. don't need score but 9 points is just fine for all the work he did en the cord 😂👍🏻
The sequence from 2:20-2:45 is fucking art
He was the mvp of that series imo
Miss the years of 96-2000's ...Jordan motivated me so much while playing basketball
Rebounding machine
Love the replay at 3:49 because when Jordan gets the pass from Rodman he was clearly fouled by Payton and Jordan didn’t complain to the ref at all just went down the court ready for the next play until the time out…that’s the perfect example of the difference in mentality the OG players had compared to today it’s such a huge difference mentally…loved this game
Dennis Rodman is the best rebounder ever 💪
I just want to say thank you you too and the CZcams creators of come in this type of videos to show us the past and what things went on in the 80s in the 90s with basketball NBA/// me and myself I've been watching it the air of the 90s in the 80s since 10 years old and now July 26th 2020 I am 60 years old now I truly miss the past but now you can't live on it and just/// PS they she gave Dennis Rodman the ball at the last second of the game hearing that// but then it's didn't care he has such a big heart// as long as he won he didn't care long as he did his job thank you Dennis Rodman I hope you're doing very well and 20/20 stay safe stay healthy// and the rest of the Chicago Bulls of the 90s!!!👍
Absolutely!!! Dennis was a special player. An all time great for sure...
I loved Rodman’s hoop and emotional outburst at 2:50
01:30 his 2nd jump is unbeliveable, i mean how can u react that fast?? rodman is real bussines on his era, prototype freak of nature!!
i miss rod.
i really think the league need's someone that can match rod's toughness and psychological approach.
if he was playing in the league right now, he'd be guarding the best players. i'm 100% sure he could lock up bron. get inside his head and get him out of his game.
rod loved the go against those "celebrity" players.
Good old days I sure miss them. Was always a Rodman fan.
This version of Rodman was from another world
He has incomparable spirit and desire to win
One of the GOAT
NBA today needs this kind of mentality
yeah there is a huge online article from skeptical sports analysis on dennis rodman which presents the case that statistically he could be the most valuable player all time.
One of my favorite player. Special athlete. Never played basketball until highschool.
Dennis rodman king of rebound...
The man that we sure we misses his best in world of our games we played... DRodman
This man is So Kind to the fans and to Other . In Offensive and Deffensive 'there's One Man who can plays all the One and only Dennis Rodman take care Idol
Rodman was the catalyst to the second three-peat. And he still had time to wrestle and do interviews from bed.
He is the key to winning Basketball. Think about it. Those bad boys teams didnt hit that championship level peak until Rodman started And got adequate minutes. Then those bulls team became unstoppable the second he joined. He made Jordan so much better because he saved his energy by picking up slack on defense and,obviously his rebounding. A dude that can grab ELEVEN offensive boards in a game on a team with fucking Jordan!?! You cant stop that
That three point play was phenomenal
The real MVP
best PF ever
Best defensive power forward ever greatest power forward in general is Tim Duncan
i dont watch/follow much basketball, but lately i started watching 90s era BB, watching rodman play BB is fucking crazy, jumping out of the court into the crowd to save the ball, im not even sure about the rules, but that dude goes fucking hard in every game, super fun watching him and shaq play
11 offensive rebounds… that’s why this dude is in the Hall. He negated 11 misses on offense. That’s absolutely incredible.
Dennis said that he memorized what type of spin each important player used so he can better anticipate the rebound. Dude was a stone cold killer off the glass. The way he timed his touches while rebounding was legendary.
one of the best athletes and entertainers
That lay up under the basket always remind me after 25 year
He’s in the Hall of Fame for a reason. This man singlehandedly affected games without scoring a point. His passion, energy, effort… it was all infectious. He made the Hall of Fame by mastering everything nobody else wanted to do. Never sought his own glory, just played his ass off.
Dennis had a big heart. He took rebounding to another level. Knew how the ball would bounce off the.rim, and was a demon on a loose ball.
You don’t see it on this clip, but Shawn Kemp ended up fouling out towards the end of this game.
2:35 I didn’t know Rodman was fast
Rodman was one of the biggest freak of nature in the nba. He had stamina and strength that is pretty much incomprehensible
He probably is the best nba athlete ever he had strength and speed and stamina while going out to the club every night and barely getting sleep but always ran on the treadmill after games
Stephen steve MJ told a story on The Last Dance about the team not being able to catch up with Dennis during a running drill after he came back from his Vegas "vacation". They all thought he would be out of shape but it in reality, it took them 4 laps to pass him. I heard Bill Wennington say that Dennis looked back and slowed down and the guys eventually caught up. They'd still be running after him today if he hadn't done that.
Bro watch I’m when he was in Detroit he was stupid fast like a gazelle running beat athlete to ever live maybe
I was following this game live, it was such a great one! And I definitively agree with your oppinion about Rodman. Of course the others were doing great stuff like usually but Rodman was the key factor of these finals. And in this specific game, he just switched the momentum in the 3rd! Awesome this guy knows how to do everything and can defend on any position!
kept kemp in foul trouble all series, perkins too and got brick ejected twice i think
@@thomasdemay9805 Yes, that was a great mind game.
this is why he is in the Hall of Fame!!!
Dennis Rodman Chicago bulls was a Secret weapon, Beast Power Forward & monsterous Rebounder and dDefensive player in his time .consider 1 of the Goat in NBA with NBA Legend MJ
this was basketball. not like the crap today.
Oh really? The low percentage shots? The dribbling out the entire shot clock and awful spacing? Thats such bullshit. The players today are better than,ever. I absolutely garauntee you 20 years from now the youngins will be saying the same,shit about todays game. I rememebr in the 90s watching these games and having old heads say the exact same,shit! "This ismt what it was in the 60s and 70s...." Blah blah blah
@@anthonyhutchins676 because there was defense back then unlike today it is basically an open lane. Today is gay basketball.
Roderick Aspiras it’s open lanes because of the spacing. Teams back then dumbass idea of offense was to force yourself as close to the paint as possible, which makes it easier for defenses to guard you. Today all 5 positions can shoot the three which opens up the floor.
You're delusional. Did you not see all those bricks being thrown up and all those unnecessary turnovers due to lack of floor spacing? This was hard to watch. Players are sooooo much more skilled nowadays.
@@greatest599 Exactly. Either one of these teams would get decimated by most NBA teams today because of the spacing of modern offenses. People always say defense was better back then but it's all bs.
Someone said that (although they did admit it was controversial) Rodman was just as much the MVP as Jordan was in winning those titles in 96-98......and in hindsight I'm starting to almost agree: that if fact Rodman was as integral part of this dynasty as Jordan. it's just amazing how he was able to be dominant without scoring.
i think it was sonic's coach saying along the lines of "it's a coin toss between rodman and MJ" (talking about MVP)
A blast from the past
In the world of basketball the goat....... RODMAN the MAN
I remember these days! OMG I was a hardcore Rodman Fan. Eyez Glued!!!
2:40 Most Iconi Rodzilla Moment in Chicago
remember it live like yesterday. chills 🥶
I love it when you foul the worn ,he still give you a pat like good job .
great heart and passion
Dennis Rodman is a hard worker he get those rebounds.
Phil Jackson and even the Sonics coach said that Dennis Rodman is 1996 Finals MVP
"I can't believe he's full of energy, he's PHENOMENAL"
-Luc Longley
Birdman is the Dennis Rodman of the Heat. Shocking to look at, but play with full of Energy/Hustle
Rodman was and still is a BEAST
6:37 Rodman had Kemp totally mind fukd there.
No one impacted a game like Rodman
What was great about Rodman, outside of his skills, personality, behavior, etc, was his spirit of the game. He was like a kid who dreamed to play at the biggest stage and delivered. Rodman also never went far with his acts vs opposing players(Kemp, Schrempf). He was smart not to be taken out of the game with a fight. Even though many(media) considered him different from other role models or labeled him strange, he was still fun to watch.
Rodman the greatest on ball defender of all time
I loved the matchup between Rodman and Kemp in this series. Neither MJ nor Pip had a great series but Rodman and Kemp were both in their prime and were both on fire. This video is about Rodman's highlights but Kemp had a lot too. Kemp had the most ferocious dunks but Rodman doesn't quit and made the difference for Chicago.
defense. rebound. defense. rebound !!! fighting spirit is all about
At the end of the day if I’m starting an all time team Dennis Rodman will have to be on the roster his defense his rebounds his ability to get in the players minds and change the game legendary
Dennis was a Vibe
The father's day game my favorite team
If he wasn't so controversial at the time (and on MJ's team), he would have been Finals MVP for sure.
Rodman was the MVP for that series imho.
A fight I would have paid to see was Rodman vs. Kemp in the mid 90's, two of the toughest guys in the NBA ever.
No one ever say this Jordan was good in this series but low key Dennis Rodman should of got MVP in this series differently in this game to the win the title.
The king of rebound.
he played amazing and they wouldn't have one without him no doubt. he played like a legend. the best defender ever and one of the greatest rebounders ever. but jordan deserved that finals mvp.
You gotta love Rodman!!! 2:40
Pippen was always the happiest man alive when Rodman scored, haha. He is like proud dad
Rodman should have been MVP
One thing why Rodman crowd favorite is her athletic ability for rebounds. Super humans
I remember that day ahaha rodman is insane def. And rebounder... no one can challenge Mr. D.rodman
