Ain't gonna lie, I forgot Luc Longley played with the Suns. After the Bulls breakup in 98, people in Chicago didn't watch basketball for about 3 years lol.
I miss the old Chicago Bulls, where Denis and Luke was together, with Ron Harper, Randy Brown, Scottie Pippen, MJ and Toni Kukoč....THAT was the days when all true basketball fans are sentimental about...Best team in the history of game.
@@JS-xu1so Only people with no knowledge of basketball would say something like that. Anyone who experienced the 80s and 90s and also the beginning of 2000 can of course not enjoy this basketball that we are currently havd in the NBA. Because today is just boring - political - Cupcake - flopping - no grown men only kids - no Defense - superteams - no loyalty - no rivalries - no intensity- no midrange - no post moves - no poetry in motion - only 3 pointers - going to the rim without skill - GAME That's why the game is extremely boring compared to before. And why don't we see only half of the viewers for the the final series compared to back then? Although now the USA alone has 80 or 90 million more people in population, not to mention that you can watch the game worldwide these days. That wasn't possible back then.
If Rodman would have stayed on the Lakers then he would have won another 3 peat with the Lakers the next 3 years despite aging.Remember the 98-99 season Rodman was 38 years old
This was the year all the way till end of 2006, where the nba stop playing that style of ball. It was extra bouncy. Shaq said it on a interview or nba talk show. He said it would bounce too much and before the game he would ask the officials if he could deflate the ball. It was either him or someone else said that.
Damn right they wouldn't. Shaq alone would destroy them, but with Rodman out there next to him? that's too much. Shaq would have AD scared to come inside, and if he tried that Horry would be all over him. Rodman can guard older Lebron of today. Eddie Jones and Kobe would have thee Laker guards handled too. 99 Lakers definitely blow them out.
No disrespect ot Rodman legacy. But...in his Lakers games he gave the impression he didn't give a fuck about basketball anymore. Yeah, obviously he could still rebound and do part of his stuff but he was more for the show and quite nothing for the ball. Second thing, with nowadays rules, Rodman would be ejected every game.
Sure, fun I guess. But Lakers-era Rodman wasn’t a great basketball player. Couldn’t guard the perimeter any longer like he could with the Pistons, couldn’t get up to finish at the rim, and never added any offensive moves that most older players add to stay relevant. LA fans liked him because he had leopard print hair and strutted around the court when he should have been in the team huddle.
