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

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.

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.

Rodman was on another level this game. Remember it like it was yesterday
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..

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
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.
One of my favorite player. Special athlete. Never played basketball until highschool.
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.
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.
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
The man that we sure we misses his best in world of our games we played... DRodman
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
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.

But it was mj's time and for David Stern, nobody else should be Mvp. With Jordan and Nba's business rules around the world, it was forgotten : we have a recent example with "the last dance" without a very short time about 96'season and finals just about Jordan's come back to win.
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.
great heart and passion
