Dennis Rodman's Lockdown Defensive Performances! 

leading the league in rebounding for 7 straight years as a 6'7" foward in the 90s big men era, that's insane

Dirk: one-legged fadeaway Rodman: one-legged rebound

Rodman really changed the game. He made hustle plays cool. He’s the reason players jump over the front row and scramble for loose balls the way they do today.

Best defensive player ever by far. Physically gifted with gigantic balls and heart. Played in the toughest NBA era against the best competition. An animal

Man everyone just talks about how crazy he is but people barely mention he’s in the hall of fame

He makes rebounding look cooler. What a beast

Rodman was one of those "grease" kind of guys. One of those parts of the machine that you don't realize the importance of until it's gone. He may not score a bunch, but indirectly he's taking opposing points off the scoreboard and putting them up for his team.

This dude's energy was off the charts man

His passing is so underrated. Rodman with that very high basketball IQ in general.

You can never teach this. This is heart.

I loved to watch Dennis play. He put his whole heart in basketball and made it even more fun to watch. What a great player.

This guy I had the honor of watching throughout my childhood. A few things I loved about him was he was never a lazy defender and no matter how old he got, he always had energy to keep up with guys 5-10+ years younger than him and never stopped. Always went for the ball when he should. Guy was a freak of nature on the defensive end. His lockdown defense was hugely what kept the Pistons and Bulls ahead all the time. I mean, he made an all defense team 8 years in a row and won 2 consecutive DPOY's. Yes he was admittedly not a scorer but he didn't have to be. He is not just the greatest rebounder who wasn't a center but he definitely is a top 10 all time greatest defender to me. Top 5 non-center. Guy had no shame.

"The one who controls the rebound, controls the game"

Phil Jackson once said that Dennis Rodman was the best pure athlete he ever coached. And that's coming from someone who coached Jordan and Bryant. That pretty much summarizes what you see in this video. MAKE REBOUNDING GREAT AGAIN!

This guy was brutal! He just NEVER gave up on a ball! What a show! I remember seing him and we never knew what would happen when he was playing! So aggressive!

Being from Chicago this man was larger than life. He was the fuel that the city needed to win 6 championships and keep the opposition from scoring.

No one plays like this anymore. This guy did not care, he'd do whatever he needed to get his teammates the ball

The only person who didn't care about scoring and won a bunch of championships.

Top 3 power forward of all time. 5 championships, 2x DPOY, 7 consecutive rebounding titles, and then you just watch him play… phenomenal passing, incredibly agile, strong and quick, grabs all these offensive boards in a crowded paint. You put this guy on any roster in NBA history, that team just got a lot better

This is pure passion and love for the sport. This is sportsmanship. This is what we miss today.

He has a pure wounded soul, he was rejected by his own mother. All he ever wanted was to be loved, just look how he celebrated every single basket he made

He went kamikaze on every rebound and landed on his face like it was a second pair of legs.

Forged by the Pistons, refined by the Chicago Bulls. One of the most ferocious defensive players ever.

Rodman was amazing...so funny to watch especially when he was messing with opponents' heads. He was the be(a)st. No matter if you like(d) him or not, the dude was something special/unique in basketball.

It still blows my mind that the Bulls didn't retire this mans number.

6’7 , in his 30s , 220 pounds. Lead in rebounding for 7 straight years in the big man era. The rebounding goat

I don't remember how many times I've watched this video. Every time I feel empowered. Thank you, Rodman.

His play style is so entertaining. jump and fall and get back again, sometimes messing around hype the game. Also it feels like he coulda just score whenever he gets the chance but choose not to, what a maniac.

This dude legit chased every ball and never gave up, but when MJ was taking free throws for the championship game vs the Jazz, he turned his back on the basket. He was that crazy.

"i party hard but i work hard" Dennis Rodman

Rebounding is all heart and effort. One of the best defenders, rebounders ever.

He was such a troll and I love it. Wish we had another Dennis rodman in the NBA today

Rodman was an absolute beast. He turned rebounding into an art form just like MJ turned scoring into one and just like Magic turned passing into one.

the modern NBA needs more players like him

This man simply just wanted it more than anyone else. Simple as that. Not to say anyone can rebound but no one was willing to go the lengths this man did to get the ball for his teammates. Just pure heart and determination.

His court awareness is unbelievable

Rodman: Dives into the cameramen to save the ball Cameramen: Ah shit, here we go again

Also shoutout to this man for dating a prime Carmen Electra

NBA will never be rough and tough like it was in the 80s and 90s

Party all night, but brought his A game when it was time to play. He's the ultimate hustler...so much energy!! If the ball went flying out to the parking lot, he would try and dive to get it!!!

rebound like a king 🤴

I tell people Rodman gives us a important lesson to learn you can become a great by sticking to what your good at and knowing that. Know your role. Don’t be something u ain’t. Long live true defense and the legend Rodman !

The 90s was way more physical and fun to watch.

I love Dennis Rodman! He’s a very real person doesn’t try to be who everyone wants him to be! He’s not afraid to be disliked! Regular ppl like us don’t know Wut it’s like to be famous on that level! He was an incredible player and flawed human being just like all of us! I love u Rodman!

When Dennis starts volleyball tapping that ball it's over. Even out tapped Charles Barkley in this clip.

There will never be another player like Dennis Rodman, his hustle and tenacity are unmatched.

1:58 block on Ewing just perfect. Man Worm is a legend. He played well above his height, always hustled, Put his body on the line, and the worm had some serious hops when he wanted it

Rodman was who I looked up to while playing ball in junior high and high school. My favorite part of the game was defense and grabbing rebounds. I got to meet Dennis this past weekend at a sports card show here in Minnesota. Bucket list item checked!

He literally play three different sport in same time ● Basketball ● Handball ● Rugby

We need some more videos like these just showing pure hustle and defense, love it

Nobody hustled like Rodman

This is a great hightlight video on Dennis, it shows the things he did/was willing to do to make his team win. Will always be in my top 5 favorite players to ever play the game.

Rodman is the only player to make a highlight out of a rebound, what a legend

Dennis Rodman is literally the only player ever where you can just make a video of him falling and diving on the floor, and it would still be entertaining 🤷🏾‍♂️

Thank You For Posting These Great Highlights

Rodman is a straight up OG, Legend, Realest of ALL TIME.

Bulls need to retire 91

i get the chills when i see this man rebound

I was such a fan growing up!! This man played his hearth out !!! Respect 🙏🏽 legend!

His energy and hustle are great elements, which made MJ took it personal.

It’s amazing how he studied and had notes before and after games with regards to rebounding...he was crazy off the court but Phil and the rest knew how he needed to destress at times.. he showed up when it mattered. Hall of famer

Loved to watch Rodman play. He absolutely put his whole heart and body into a the game. Like Night Fall said below, it blows my mind also that Dennis number was not retired. The Pistons did retire his number. Kudos Dennis!

Great mix. Love the music choice and editing. Keep up the great work.

The background music fits perfectly.

The way he celebrate when he made some plays is gold, man. You can tell he's living his life

Dennis rodman is one of my fav players love his hustling & rebounding & defence too😍🔥

I was very young during rodman's era. I just watched a bunch of his plays and man i have found a whole new and profound level of respect for this man. Damn. Most people looks at him as cookoo but damn he really gave his all back then.

After Michael Jordan's documentary, I wanna hear an another documentary from Dennis Rodman about his life in the NBA again too :)

The rockstar of the NBA. One of the best players in the history of basketball!

Idk how anyone can say they got good defense in this era I don't know what to call this it's amazing

bro was sick with the tiping of the ball . he could tap it 3x in the air from 3 defenders then tap it another 2x times to get possession & throw it down court after diving in the stands. Bro was beast mode.

every team needs a rodman

I was a kid when these bulls were around and Rodman was my favorite player, loved his personality, hustle, loyalty to his teammates. His crazy hair too haha

Hustle, energy and determination! Rodman is a certified basketball great!

What a beast! Unbelievably good. Constant effort which is a rarity. Effort and skill is an amazing combo

Ball: out of bounds Rodmann: no i dont think so

The last dance is so freaking good

Some awesome clips, watching the NBA in the '90s was a treat.

Thank you for all the years of your sport entertainment, you’re the greatest ❤

His character and his appearance make him look even more beasty

What always amazed me the most was the fact that when he came to Chicago fans loved him despite his run with Detroit.

One of the most fascinating men ever in the NBA. Pure grit and determination.

"who controls the rebound controls the game'' - Hanamichi Sakuragi.

One of the best defenders and rebounders in NBA history. Also, one of the smartest players in NBA history. You could always rely on Rodman

"You can't find another player on the basketball court that works just hard as Dennis Rodman." - Michael Jordan, the GOAT.

i cried watching this. Too much passion.

dennis is a legend, always went for the ball like he had video game lives.

Offense: Jordan Defense: Rodman

The last dance is the best doc. I've ever seen. Can't wait!!!!

beast. rodman was one of my favorite players in the 90's it was always a show when the bulls played.

He was the best rebounder by far and joy of this game,pure natural passion,it is very hard to find,people were love him and his special life not bad as many people,only he lived transparently nothing more

He can have a highlight reel of him just getting rebounds, thats crazy

BEST DEFENDER EVER, one of the most important part of the bulls dinasty

This is first time listening Dennis Rodman it’s his B-Day Today so Happy Birthday to him!!!!!!!!🥳🎉🎂 05/13/24

By far my favorite rebounder of all time. Dude never backed down and was never scared of anyone. Not even MJ could control him when on his team but Jordan knew they needed him. If u wanted a championship back then, u had to have Rodman on ur team because he was the last of the bad boys who would through his self out of the game to save the star player from getting in a fight and/or ejected. He knew his role and he went with it. That Detroit team he was apart of was the last of the old school beat ur opponent up physically to win. If u didn’t win, at least that team left the game hurting and dreading playing ya again. MJ no doubt changed the game the most by his shooting techniques. Even as good as he was, he was better at knowing what players he needed around him. Pippin, Kukoc, Rodman and even just barely needing Horace Grant/Oakley. Oakley was a better player and MJ favored him but Grant was better suited for the triangle offense. I remember how mad Jordan would get because of how Rodman would just do whatever he wanted when he wanted but Rodman always showed up when he needed to. Mostly lol.

You can see his heart and passion for this game, more than any other player ever.

THE LAST DANCE IS SO FREAKIN SPECIAL !! I was born in 93 and I always loved basketball, but i never had a chance to see Bulls impact on the league these days. Can't wait till next week !!!!

Rodman is my favorite player of ALL time! As a kid I had his Spurs jersey, and 4 different Bulls jerseys. I believe i bought one of his Lakers jerseys as well. To me, Rodman is like the Marty Brodeur of the hardwood.

I don't care what people say, Dennis Rodman game play and and 1990 Detroit Pistons were awesome

One of my favorite all time players. Just bought a black and red 1995-96 Rodman jersey. Support greatness.
