Murasan was a legit threat before his injuries, not just tall. He was voted most improved in 1995. 14.5ppg, 9.total rebound , 3.3 offensive. 2.3 block on 58% shooting. Not only 7’7” with 7’10” wingspan but probably about 330 or 340 then and strong. He was a very tough inside force offensively, tough on the boards, and defensively disruptive.

Rodman was not a loose canon. He was a controlled weapon. More like a sniper. He had a job to do and did it well. The Technical fouls were part of the job.
No matter how crazy D.Rodman appeared to be. There was a method to his madness. He made up for his size by getting into players heads mentally. Greatest rebounder, I have ever witnessed👍...
Get into their heads? CHEAP! He use to push people around. He didn't get into their heads, he simply pissed them off. ANYONE can do that! I will give you this though. He was a heck of a rebounder.
Gheorghe is a genuinely nice guy. I used to see him hanging out at wizards games all the time well after he retired. It seemed like he was at almost every home game. He would just hang out and talk to fans. I moved so no longer go to games but I wouldnt be surprised if hes still always there.
Of all the players Rodman was the most like an actual "bull", how he goes up against guys so much bigger than him is crazy, he just has incredible strength

No they wouldn't...Strickland can't shoot, Webber doesn't play like a big man, Howard is not a strong power forward.

Yeah, this Washington team had some talent but they lost the series 3-0. Only one of the games was close. Muresan played lousy, he almost had more turnovers than points. The Washington got broken up after this and most of the players achieved more after leaving town, which is typical for Washington.
My uncle was in college in that area at that time and he told me they had to break that squad up because they were tearing the city up. Especially after they drafted Rasheed Wallace.
Russel was 6'10, playing against weak white boys. Excluding Centers, Rodman was up against monsters like, KG, Kemp, Barkley, Oakley, Malone etc. arguebly the greatest defender / rebounder in his era.
Growing up you hated Rodman being a piston but we loved him and realized how good of a player he was when he was on your team NEVER SEEN ANYONE PLAY HARDER AND WITH SUCH GRIT
Jordan & Pippen played just as hard. That is why they won three championships without Rodman. Don't even start with other team's players like Kobe, Iverson, Bird, etc...
Dennis Rodman, my favorite player of all time. The mental gymnastics that he performed on all his opponents was surgical including Jordan, and that's why MJ requested his services 😂
How so?? He never did anything on offense lol??? Versatile to me would be able to do stuff on offense and defense. I get your point but you worded it wrong.
@@865style In terms of energy expended per possession basis, Dream was the GOAT. Worm was allowed to float for tip ins and offensive rebounds given he was a free throw liability with an average mid range jumper.

@@iggy9955 Had Michael Cage played on a team like the Bulls in the 90's, he would have eclipsed all of Rodman rebound records. Plus he could give you a few more buckets.
Once Rodman gets in your head he lives there, whether it be slapping Zo on the ass or continuously tripping up / pulling Malone to the floor. Only player I ever saw guard Shaq in iso, no double just one forearm in his back without budging when Shaq was in diesel mode. Worm !
The bias in the announcers there at around the 5:00 mark is how I remember it as a teenager. They HATED Rodman for his playstyle and personality. Brutal how obvious it is.
but he's so tall that whenever he raises his arm a bit the elbow is at Rodmans head height, and Rodmans head is there to catch it of course, Rodman very well knew what and why he was doing, it just didn't work out, refs also know him :D
dude was so freakin tall that just his natural block out always put his bows in someones face. How do you penalize someone for that? Rodman clearly worked the situation to his favor on that one.
no he is definitely taking advantage of his height to throw his elbows around knowing his elbows are at face height of most of the other players, watch again
One thing about it, in spite of Rodman's issues, the fans still didn't go home disappointed, because the bulls were still the winners. Plus, whoever got Rodman's jersey must have gone home extra happy!
People think Rodman started trouble but his game and always has been is to get your mind off track, he did a great job at this. also he would rebound like a mad man.
Webber has balls....maybe call another timeout Chris to cost your team the game. Rodman was in all these doods' heads 24/7!! Great video my friend and thank you so much. Miss this NBA!!!
Those were the SICKEST Bulls jerseys- those pin stripes.. I had a MJ one and it was so sick, I was a kid so it’s too small for me now but I wish I could still wear it
I still haven't seen a time that rodman continued to fight after the whistle. Probably happened, but for him it was just the game. Once they whistle blew, he was hands off. Not anything like how he was portrayed back in the day.
The John Wooden UCLA teams got away with all kinds of fouls when they played their full-court zone press. But true, Michael Jordan wasn't called for travelling when he took an extra step or two, and Rodman should have been ejected more often than he was.
the best comment that sums up rodman, was made by my dad when he saw an article in the newspapaers during this time,... he did it in 4 words,...."HE MAKES ME PUKE"
I watched him for years, he was a master of Distracting the opposition. My biggest disappointment was MJ not showing up to his Hall of fame night.. he earned his appearance.

Rodman is best rebound man in legue
Rodman embarrassed himself. Often
@@iggy9955 Had Michael Cage played on a team like the Bulls in the 90's, he would have eclipsed all of Rodman rebound records. Plus he could give you a few more buckets.
He got muresan to foul back. Genius
The simple fact that Rodman went after Muresan is one of the funniest antics Rodman has EVER done! Muresan though?!?!? lmfao! Rodman is a legend!
Dennis may have went to chicago but he always had that Bad Boy Piston in him
Obviously Rodman was trying to get George thrown out of the game for the Bulls.
He tried that also with other players, He's a dirty player
@@tedoychorizo6434 he was awesome wasn’t he.
Do you idiots not see Muresan initially hitting Rodman with elbows???? That’s what kept starting the shit!
@@TheEquation007 that's probably because Rodman was pestering him.
@@younglove3362 you kinda ARE supposed to pester your opponent in pro basketball dude!
He may not be the GOAT but he is definitely my favorite player of all time.
He’s the definition of 110%.
Same, Mureșan was the best back then
@@piotrmitrega2765 Lol
Rodman sucked.
Rodman > Lebron
Where's the fight menchildren
Anyone remember his cabbage cologne commercials?? It was pretty awesome back in the 90s!
Once Rodman gets in your head he lives there, whether it be slapping Zo on the ass or continuously tripping up / pulling Malone to the floor. Only player I ever saw guard Shaq in iso, no double just one forearm in his back without budging when Shaq was in diesel mode. Worm !
No he doesn’t
Rodman supports su
Actually it is the other way around. It certainly appears like Muresan got in Rodman's head.
He spends vacations there!
@@dutchvanderlinde4653 Yes,he does !
5:34 Man that transition was smooth!!
Part of Dennis Rodman's job was to be obnoxious to piss off the other team and throw them off their game.
Dennis always picks on giants. He takes elbows to the head, and smiles. Shaq was another of his fearless entanglments
I am blessed to met Mr. Gheorghe Muresan last night at the opening game bet the wizards and the bulls 10/21/22
The bias in the announcers there at around the 5:00 mark is how I remember it as a teenager. They HATED Rodman for his playstyle and personality. Brutal how obvious it is.
Rodman was trash, always was always will be😂
Bro was 7'7'' and his jersey number was 77 😂 ?
If that's a coincidence then explain Shawn Bradley. 7 foot 6. Number 76 for the Philadelphia who? Oh that's right 🤣🤣
@@albertross2456 hahaha 7------6ers! Good one😅🤣
Rodman was the GOAT of the paint. My first choice for rebounding. The man played every game like it was his last. True heart and warrior in the paint.
Compared to today's "you get a foul if you fart" NBA, this looks like Game of Thrones.
The Worm feared no man ,the baddest of the Bad Boys and 5 rings to prove it .
looks like he feared a lot here😂
Wilt would of eaten him up and down the court
Every time Rodman was upset it was usually cuz he just caught an elbow in the chin from Big Gheorghe.
but he's so tall that whenever he raises his arm a bit the elbow is at Rodmans head height, and Rodmans head is there to catch it of course, Rodman very well knew what and why he was doing, it just didn't work out, refs also know him :D
seems like the gheorghe is deliberately not being very controlled with his elbows
@@holliswilliams8426 its Rodman, he deserves it😄
Facts. So many people in these comments think Rodman is doing it for no reason. Blind idiots.
He elbowed the shit outta rodman 😂
05:01
Is that Steven A Smith in the back? 🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Rodman played basketball as if he was playing hockey.
But he will fuxk you up in 1on1 match
He was actually playing chess while Muresan was playing checkers.
dude was so freakin tall that just his natural block out always put his bows in someones face. How do you penalize someone for that? Rodman clearly worked the situation to his favor on that one.
no he is definitely taking advantage of his height to throw his elbows around knowing his elbows are at face height of most of the other players, watch again
One thing about it, in spite of Rodman's issues, the fans still didn't go home disappointed, because the bulls were still the winners. Plus, whoever got Rodman's jersey must have gone home extra happy!
@@koraungates938 😂 exactly
Rodman got shit on by Georghe Muresan
The eighties and nineties NBA was stellar and full of gladiators.
People think Rodman started trouble but his game and always has been is to get your mind off track, he did a great job at this. also he would rebound like a mad man.
You gotta love Rodman the NBA needs more players like him
@1:49 Why does Muresan also get hit with a technical? because the league love to help the Bulls anyway they could.
Exactly right.
Webber has balls....maybe call another timeout Chris to cost your team the game. Rodman was in all these doods' heads 24/7!!
Great video my friend and thank you so much. Miss this NBA!!!
No problem and I miss this typa basketball so much too 90s will always be the golden era for basketball
Those were the SICKEST Bulls jerseys- those pin stripes.. I had a MJ one and it was so sick, I was a kid so it’s too small for me now but I wish I could still wear it
Uno de los más grandes defensas..👌
Dennis Rodman was and still is the best defensive terror of the NBA
DR had very good footwork.
Couldn't stand Rodman as a kid. As an adult, I'm fascinated by his mind, playing smarts, and toughness.
I still haven't seen a time that rodman continued to fight after the whistle. Probably happened, but for him it was just the game. Once they whistle blew, he was hands off. Not anything like how he was portrayed back in the day.
Announcer: "Dennis Rodman should just play the game"
Dennis Rodman: "I am"
RODZILLA
小時侯還買過羅德曼的拉鏈鞋！👏👏👏👍👍👍👏👏👏
dennis rodman one of my fav. player, totally badass..
Minus the part where he enjoys wearing women's dresses......
Commentators. Couldn't appreciate Rodman's genius in real-time. There emotion's got the best of them.
Muresan’s elbow in his face might cause one to be unhappy!
No team in history has ever received more favorable calls than those bulls teams. You rewatch games it’s incredible.
Facts
The John Wooden UCLA teams got away with all kinds of fouls when they played their full-court zone press. But true, Michael Jordan wasn't called for travelling when he took an extra step or two, and Rodman should have been ejected more often than he was.
Hand checking was allowed.
Somebody ate a lemon.
Yeah that used to make me so angry I couldn't even watch the games. Especially when they played UTAH in the finals that was a joke.
Testiment to Rodman's defensive abilities...from pg to centers. He'll answer the call
until he got shit on by Georghe Muresan
referees were his best teammates nowhere have i seen someone grab someones arm with both of theirs 3 times and not be ejected
Atta boy Dennis, you got the candy ass commentators against you. It was fun watching you all the years you played.
the best comment that sums up rodman, was made by my dad when he saw an article in the newspapaers during this time,... he did it in 4 words,...."HE MAKES ME PUKE"
I watched him for years, he was a master of Distracting the opposition. My biggest disappointment was MJ not showing up to his Hall of fame night.. he earned his appearance.
They hates each other but play well together. Incredible.
@@MrZrazies they don’t hate each other lmao. They literally laughed and hugged at the All Star game.
