Rodman completely shut down Shaq this game and held him to 0 points. What's more incredible is that when you watch the full game, it's Rodman doing it without help 90% of the time. Almost all teams doubled Shaq in the paint. The fact that Rodman was able to shut him down and hold him to 0 points over 3 quarters(including OT), with mostly single coverage, is simply insane. It wasn't the only time Rodman really dominated Shaq with defense, either. Shaq always seemed to struggle with Rodman, and Shaq even talks about it from time to time now on TNT.

As a Bulls fan, this happened to me as soon as the Bulls got Rodman, who previously played for the hated "Bad Boys" Pistons. As soon as I heard Rodman was coming to Chicago, I was like "We're going to win the Championship!" And then we did win it, and then again, and then again. Now Rodman is probably my favorite player of all time, even moreso than Jordan.

Amazing video, thanks 😀

Rodman is still the best rebounding/defensive specialist of all time. What a pleasure to watch him in action as a Bull. As a Piston, eh, not so much.

This video would be my "Exhibit A" in several cases I could make for/against certain NBA tropes. One case is the uniqueness of Rodman's career from his early Detroit slashing/finishing perimeter defender to his manic rebounding interior force late career with the Bulls. At different points of his career he was one of the rangey-est , quickest perimeter defenders , on par with guys like DJ and Coop, in terms of foot speed, length and quickness to one of the most physical, tenacious fundamentally sound interior defenders. If you were to divorce said aspects of his one career and extrapolate them into two separate careers, the one being the perimeter defender and the other being the 'banger, both "players" would be HOF'ers. Another case I would use this for is the ability of Phil Jackson's coaching staff to improve the fundamentals of their players , namely Shaq's atrocious footwork and positioning, as the Jackson era Shaq's footwork was much more fluid and less choppy and his positioning far more effective. The Shaq of Orlando and early LA had terrible habits and would merely try to overpower someone when his first or second moves were countered, later career Shaq had criminally underrated fundamentals. The last case I would use this video in is to put to rest anyone arguing that Shaq was better than Hakeem. This kind of thing never happened to Dream, early career Dream was a bit of a knucklehead like 'Sheed was so you might of been able to get him out his hook up, but when he recommitted to his faith and add the H back to his name all bets were off, he was the hoops embodiment of the whole "Bruce Li be like water" ethos. While I am a fan of 'Diesel, Dream was like a force of nature. Anyways thanks for the video Sean! Appreciate you!

Michael Jordan is my all-time...but even I have trouble justifying it sometimes when I compare him with the Dream. I also really appreciated Jordan backing me up by saying he'd take Hakeem first in his fantasy draft. ha!

What we see here is impeccable foot work with Rodman. Just to name a few recent great both offensive and defensive players who had impeccable foot work, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryan, Hakeem Olajuwon,, Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony (in descending talent order). Basketball is played as much or more with your legs then your arms. Shaq is a legend with below average footwork and he is still an all time great. Respect.

Rodman is one of the main reason why bulls got their 2nd 3peat. Imagine bulls going againts lakers without rodman. They cant stop shaq.

Rodman played with a lot of heart, and was such a good defender that he could still be a starter with virtually no offense. He made defense fun to watch. Then as you see, he makes those clutch free throws. Here’s a personal story inspired by Rodman. When my son moved into a higher basketball league, and the established players wouldn’t pass him the ball. I remembered Rodman, and told my son (who was upset and ready to quit) to be “nightmare guy” on defense. I told him, since they won’t pass you the ball, you can play a game within the game. I told him, “Who ever you are guarding to be all over them like Rodman, and make it a nightmare for them to where they pass the ball because you overwhelm them.” From the stands, it was one of the most entertaining games I ever saw because he got in the head of that other kid mentally, and completely shut him down. You could see his spirits lifted. He had a purpose. It was like that all season until one game; the coach and 3 of his star players missed a game for some other league thing. I forget what it was called. Traveling league?? Bottom line my son finally got to show he can play offense on that game. They came back from behind on his shooting a defense, and he scored some clutch jump shots. As a father. That was the best game of my life to watch. The whole family was in the stands on our feet. Some of us were in tears we were so happy. Pretty silly I know.

Prime Rodman was not to be messed with, he'd get you 10 points, 15 rebounds, and a couple assists and the guy he was guarding was in for a rough night. I was a big fan of Rodman since the Bad Boy days

Thx 4 video!

YO!! dope video! I've always wondered what game it was when Jordan and pippen wrestled Rodman to the ground in that iconic photo, lol. To know THIS was the game and he did that, after being dwn 22.. LOL damn shaq!!

Who remembers when Rodman had his natural hair color in Detroit? That was the greatest physical team ever.
