      When you’re young you tend to only really need 3/4hrs of rest and you’re good to go. Especially if you’re an energetic beast like Rodman was in his prime… he likely felt like a ghoul most of the time tho due to his lifestyle but I imagine he didn’t care lol

      I think Detroit had a shot in 91 if we hadn't lost Ricky Mahorn in the expansion draft after the 89 Championship. They had to rely of James Edwards for a big game and they sorely missed Ricky backing down big players in the paint.

    Dennis is the best role player of all time in my opinion. Not just because he’s one of the best rebounders, hustlers, and outlet passers but because he actually made the other players play worse.
    His off the ball defensive antics are legendary. Dennis got in plenty of fights but wouldn’t actually punch you. He would just piss you off until you shoved him or tried to punch him and then he knew he was in your head. You’re more worried about how to hit him back without getting caught rather than focusing on your game. Bro was like poison to opposing players.

      Id go as far to say he is the best off the ball player, he kinda defended 5 guys at the same time, not in literal sense of locking them down, but in the way you explained, plus you were always scared if you miss against him more than agains others because you knew that the ball will almost always end up in his hands. also works other way around, if you are on his team your shots are way more relaxed knowing he is waiting if you screw up. he himself once said something similair to this

      I suppose this boils down to his natural and background history,ie nature of his mental origin, birth and upbringing.
      What was needed in such nature, and was lacking, which he also experienced and made it his purpose to create and provide that,and that become a priority,an interest and motivation/driving force.

      I mean its not unheard of, he got it around 19-20 that is still pretty young. I agree most people finish majorly growing by their 17-18 year and almost nobody grows much past 25, but technically not irregular. especially if you believe that epigenetics is an actual thing, and him playing basketball influenced that

    Dennis Rodman was one of the most versatile defenders, and best rebounders, to ever play in the NBA. He won five rings with the Pistons and the Bulls. While Rodman was a great player, he was also unique. His near-complete lack of offense keeps him from being ranked as highly as some of the greatest of all time. Rodman was considered highly talented, but also extremely controversial. He also clashed with coaches, teammates, and the media during his time in San Antonio, so the Spurs were eager to move on from him despite his impressive rebounding abilities. He was one of the very best one-on-one defenders to ever play the game. Also, He played 14 seasons with the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks. He also clashed with David Robinson and never seen to respected him as a player, so he never liked him at all.

      For example, if you want to drop Jordan but still have that clutch killer...
      Drop both Rodman and Jordan and put in Reggie & Bird. Bird was actually a great rebounder. And with both Bird & Reggie you'll have the floor really spaced out so they can't easily double Hakeem.
      Fisher, Reggie, Bird, Rodman & Hakeem
      Or maybe you want to keep Jordan, but you want to add Lebron. So then you drop Hakeem and Pippen to pick up Lebron and Ben Wallace or Mutumbo. But then you'd need more offense, so maybe drop Rodman and pick up someone like Rasheed Wallace. And then just cause, swap Fisher for Ron Harper.
