Michael Jordan and Dennis Rodman interview - 1996 season

[PrinceDreLance]

this video is so 90's

[dirtyplaya]

i think the reason why i liked dennise so much back then was because we have teh same personality...besides his crazy style we both are laid back down to earth people we not tryna show off for people or nuttin

[OakMeesiri]

GOAT = God Of All Times?

[upchurch231]

rodman was the best defensive big man ever. and he wasnt even that big.

[Louie212121]

Rodman = G.O.A.T

[LxMoose]

Rodman was a bull, he'll chase you to hell if u had the rock

[Agen7Smith]

I think Allen Ivereson and Dennis Rodman would be good friends! :)

[CliveGains80s]

i did not see his jersey being retired in Chicago video but i bet Rodam really cried. Really what would the 2nd 3 peat bulls do without Rodam?

Hey is it just me but i have a game vs heat and Rodam starts his little enticks in game and Jordan starts chewing his at this ultra pace so fast like it freaking him Jordan out like saying in his head why Rodam need to do this childish behavour. It funny.

[lionelangemario]

@CliveGains80s

can you put the game on youtube?

[CliveGains80s]

@lionelangemario i will look into. i have it on disc so upload on youtube is easy i might and give it a title.

it just reg season game. rodamn getting on morning nerves fast. not the fight one.

[xXALF0NS0Xx]

Dennis rodman is very understated.



[SEXTEE9R]

SPACE JAM, SPACE JAM, SPACE JAM....

[bulbangs]

pearl jam!

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

That's how I would describe Dennis.

A little shy.

[YEE941]

@BlackDynamiteNYC lol

[atlside3]

what is the music during jordan's interview from?

[MJafro]

his hair is full of win

[soloDiosmejuzga1]

as long as Ron Artest doesn't start dressing like a woman it's all good..lol.

but granted Dennis Rodman was crazy, but he was a very smart defensive player.

I can imagin what he would do in the game now..

[Epimpin101]

i think Joakim Noah reminds me more of Rodman, or Anderson Varajou.

[liloisdro]

Me n one of my buddies met Dennis on spring break a couple years back and he ended up putting us on his tab... me n my friend were only 18

[Econ1260MetZRoberto]

@liloisdro NO fucking shit!

[hottopichouseeatit10]

Dennis Rodman and Pearl Jam... Awesome

[Jamez8888]

lmao did Dennis Rodman push the camera man back down at 2:55

[matija123456123]

@Jamez8888 hahah no he went like "are you ok?"



[CarlosPlayB3yond]

OMG i love rodman, he was so good, in and out the court and the man likes pearl jam can't ask for more

[MichRockHop81108]

Shutter

[MichRockHop81108]

Dennis Rodman is fucking crazy. I can only imagine what fucking...madonna was like..

[sunnyboy8644]

@MichRockHop81108 lmao...

[MichRockHop81108]

it makes so much sense. not only the fact that he needed a break, but look at what happened after he came back. It worked.

[DBCOOPER888]

Also, why does it look like Jordan is going to bust into tears any second? Dude sounds so sad here.

[Loudmouf84]

Rodman is one of the smartest people to ever play

[ipod2304]

dennis rodman deserves to be hof he has 5 tings 8 if he woulda stayed wit that 3 peat laker 2000-2003

[tsaleh88]

wat year did rodman quit

[Flipper79able]

Rodman seems really, really intelligent. I didn't know that about him?

[sirbuggy56]

96' is the motherfuckin pimp

[Pacimpersonator]

Anyone not

Playing a 2 to game

Season with the

Mbps. Have a winning streak on the bulls

Or pacers. So you do the math.:)

[DonCorleone87]

i'm diggin this music :D

[nadine2k101]

Dennis Rodman is 6' 6" legit, Michael Jordan is actually 6' 5" . Same with Charles Barkley and Kobe Bryant.

[absalom0412]

@nadine2k101 Probably w/out shoes, but 6' 6" with shoes. Jordan was the perfect height.

[Starrysteven]

MICHAEL JORDAN IS A LEGEND thumbs up if you agree but sad when he retired

[chaosnewterer]

@Starrysteven no one agrees. everyone knows that michael jordan is one of the worst athletes of all time.

[TheMattvd1]

@chaosnewterer how?

[jmook145]

dis man speaks more truth then people realizes

[AllGenreMusic]

Would love to meet Dennis one day. Grew up watching him, Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Longley, Harper and Kerr on the Bulls. His personality off court is certainly very different than how he is portrayed by the media and his on-court antics. He really does seem like a down to earth kind of guy.

[123answeriss]

they don't respect Basketball, they respect the money... Fuck Stern...

[Bl4ckM4gic037]

3:54is my favorite. Having Rodman and Pippen pick Jordan up. I miss the days of the trinity.

[AznAndy562]

eh its funny i thought dennis would be a mean son of a bitch

[Pacimpersonator]

I have

Played

Basketball with a numerous amount

Of players

On the court. And they all had an adversity

And talent

To do so. So I could

Win a number of games

On the court.:)

[AncientGeezer]

dennis is freaking hall of fame

[PyroCham]

@AncientGeezer

Confirmed :)

[NallePu83]

@AncientGeezer Class 2011 :-D

[Pacimpersonator]

Let's stop this regime of

Players who have nothing

But hatred and jealousy of other players. Cause it's tearing us apart.:)

[Pacimpersonator]

Dennis rodman and Michael Jordan. Respectively Have the endurance And self Motivation to Do Good on the court. And For Someone Like the lakers to just completely have a negative Influence on the game Is absolutely Ridiculous.:)

[mario3454]

wow. dennis rodman is an old school player.

[Cloudgatekeeper]

i love this guy. Sportsmanship. Class. Knowledgeable. Loved and APPRECIATED his fans. Dedication. Helps the poor. Be nice to go fishing with him.

[MrPhon1984]

rodman liked playing with jordan more then kobe..he even said he left the lakers because kobe was a drama queen fueding with shaq while jordan and pippen got along and jordan led his team while kobe treats his teammate like shit..he even elbow the serbian kid when he wa slaughing douche bag

[reno93535]

Rodman was a great rebounder, defender, and helped out the teams he was on. But he was also a flake and teams finally gave up on him even though he still had the ability to play. 

[Pacimpersonator]

@Loren will you shut the fuck up. You'll give yourself a heartattack talking like that!:(

[MiggeX]

Rodman is my favourite player of all time

[tsaleh88]

@MiggeX what year did rodman retire

[MiggeX]

@tsaleh88 that depends... he stopped playing in the nba in 2000.. and after that he played in other leagues and countries... Why do u ask?

[acestone]

there will never be another dennis rodman. say what u want about him and his antics, but no one, and i mean NO ONE worked harder than this guy!

[Pacimpersonator]

I really don't care about teams like the lakers and bucks and magic who have nothing but hatred for basketball and unsportsmanlike conduct. It's absolutely ridiculous!:(

[Pacimpersonator]

It's definitely a yes to compliment someone like rodman. He truly is a very talented individual with not only movies but basketball and all terrain sports. I bet you didn't know that Dennis rodman has done skydiving and snorkling in response to his retirement.:)

[lorenllbj88]

As much as i hate to say it..I cant wait till Kobe retires..that way all you fags that constantly hate on him for no reason, bring his name up outta nowhere tryna make it seem like he's inferior to Mj when in fact he's just as good if not superior(proven by yall constantly bringing up his name in the same breath as jordan) will finally see how F'd up the League will potentially become when a player of kobe's caliber and skill(like Mj's) may not be seen for a long time! SMH

[Summerslam96]

@lorenllbj88 Personally, I really don't see why people even feel the need to put Kobe over MJ. They're both great. I think MJ was better not only as a player but the whole package. He was a superstar. He was and still is larger than life. His marketing campaign is insane and his jumpman logo is everywhere. Kobe to me just seems like a great player but not the phenomenon Jordan was. I also prefer to think of them as their own entity as in jordan's not better than bird but they're both Legends.

[razzle9438]

@Summerslam96 to both are great.....prolly eually talented...but when kobe gets his SIXTH ring....im going to call him the greatest player to ever play the game for all his CRAZY accomplishments

[thewolfmanchu]

@razzle9438 Jordan has 6 rings already, in less time than Kobe needed! Jordan also has 6 finals mvps and 5 regualer season mvps. Kobe has 1! Jordan owns him across the stat board. Get educated.

[razzle9438]

@thewolfmanchu me get educated?AHAHAH....jordan dont OWN kobe.....i can understand people sayin ''nobody can touch jordan" FIGURATIVELY speakin.....but honestly.......magic johnshon,isiah thomas,kareem abdul,wilt,bill and DEFINETLY kobe touches jordan alot! i suggest you get educated!

[thewolfmanchu]

@razzle9438 Isiah? come on now. It was joe dumars that was the key offensively for the Pistons during the late 80's and 1990. You mention Isiah but you don't mention Bird? come on now.

[razzle9438]

@thewolfmanchu yeah i forgot bird......but bird too no doubt.......but cant doubt isiah thomas......he was sick!

[thewolfmanchu]

@razzle9438 everybody forgets Bird! lol. Isiah was a good team player, I'll give him that.

[razzle9438]

@thewolfmanchu but you know when isiah get hot.....he get unstoppable

[thewolfmanchu]

@razzle9438 Oh yeah, Isiah scored 25 points in one quarter of a finals game against the lakers, and he did it on one leg!

[razzle9438]

@thewolfmanchu yes cause he a legend!

[boyeks]

the greatest player and the greatest hustle player!

[alvin081988]

If Jordan didnt' retire early the bulls could have won 7 0r 8 rings!!!!!!

[troiko]

5:22 is so fcking true, that's why I love Rodman

[Youngval831]

The Bulls, those 3 Seasons, had the Best Scorer, player overall (Jordan), Best man to man Defender (Pippen) and the Best Rebounder (Rodman)...oh and the best Coach Jackson Recipe for Legendary Teams

[machine24]

Yeah but Rodman,Jordan,Pippen went 3-3.. if they had gotten together in 94 and Jordan hadn't retired, they would've won every year.

[SmCap28]

so him and artest sound exactly the same

[shawntrocks]

he said he's suprised nobdoy from the spurs did'nt come and sleep in his bed. lol hahahahahaha

[utubefanbase]

I think MJ meant Dennis was shy away from the court and I believe this to be true. Also, well put Dennis.......the money coming first has ruined the league. Its watered down and too commercial now. Its a shame, every one gives David Stern props. I don't, He's a major reason the league is too commercial now. Oh yea n everyone's game is similar now from Kobe to Lebron and even big men like Bosh. Of all today's stars Wade is the only different type of player with genuine luv fo da game.

[CrazyCubsFan10]

MJs 1993 reterment was good for Pippen because it showed the Nba and fans how he could also be a star and do damage to other teams

[heromiles]

@CrazyCubsFan10 I think Pippen really wanted to win a 'ship while Jordan was gone. Man, that would've changed everything. Maybe Jordan wouldn't have even come back.

[CrazyCubsFan10]

@heromiles Ya who knows what would of happened.

[MeLLamoAndresIvan]

5:27 it's soooo true Dennis. And MJ "could be dangerous." Are u serious MJ?? Bahaha.. The question wasn't really who was gonna win it all.. but more like "Who will go against the Bulls in the finals?".. Haha.. Shit... you better thumbs this up. lol..

[BJ13tube]

hahaha, did micheal just call Dennis Rodman "a little shy"? ROFL

[stella522]

Well said Dennis

[koldmorth]

ron artest reminds me of dennis rodman

[Mikizzle15]

@koldmorth Without the piercings and the cross-dressing. hahaha.

[DBCOOPER888]

@koldmorth That's because Artest deliberately models his image after Rodman, who was the original.

[boylagitik24]

@koldmorth nope he is not like dennis he is freaking stupid player... ron ron is an damn psycho... hahaha

[TrueHeroUnderGod89]

@koldmorth ...except for the fact that artest in his wildest dreams will never be of anything close to what Rodman was.

[Ihatehaters35]

@koldmorth Rodman > Artest

[dommatches]

@koldmorth ron is like rodman on calm down pills... but yea he is probally the only guy in the nba like him. garnett tries to be but push come to shove and KG goes to hide behind some one or cries to the ref

[Gago666Super]

@koldmorth no ron artest just give a piece of shit and dont play with heart like dennis rodman

[StoleCoC]

@koldmorth in the hustle mby , but artest is much dumber than the "worm"

[FuckYourCouchNig]

@koldmorth I think you mean Metta World Peace

[joekiddlouischama]

... great interviews, very thoughtful.

[tintin4561]

sadly heat gon take dat beauty record away from da bulls

[Ruskkie15]

dennis reminds me of ron artest. anyone agree?

[iarenoobz]

@Ruskkie15 i was thinking that too

[drionbh3]

@iarenoobz However it's not that dennis is like ron. But ron is like dennis. Rodman is like the godfather of this type of player

[joekiddlouischama]

@Ruskkie15 ... except that Rodman is intelligent ...

[at1212b]

@Ruskkie15

Dennis was a bit of brat while Artest was a punk. Dennis played smart, and in his own way played in the NBA that mgt didn't always understand, while Artest had some issues and needed time away.

Both have a passion and do have grit, but Artest is more rough around the edges and willing to get in your face while Rodman just ran off and snickered.

Artest is more offense while Dennis was defense and rebounding (but both tricky and hustle).

[fabtoys9]

THE BEST TEAM EVER 1995-96 BULLS!!!!!!!!

BULLS FOREVER

D. ROSE YOU NEXT!!!!

[Bullhawks55]

@fabtoys9 (72-10) record, yeah that's the truth brotha

[ratmachine87]

hands down.

[iHipHop]

Rodman was very different guy...

[Aquasex1987]

look at 5:29 Shaq

[RegEJr]

Jordan was so dirty... the best.

[razzle9438]

dennis is the best player ever

[kinfolk441]

At least Rodman has championship rings.

[razzle9438]

dennis is my favorite basketball player ever

[chaveznieves]

lol dennis rodman? shy? i wouldn't peg him for that lol

[iHipHop]

@chaveznieves Jimi Hendrix was shy. Strange folks can be shy in the locker room.

[BiGsmalls3997]

At 4:02 i honestly thought the guy on the right was will smith lol

[jmpkool]

i remember thinking the same as rodman here.. you forgot what your doing here in the nba ...bums want the money up front. remember thinking that rodman's mentality of being 1 of the 12 players( including bench) to contribute .

he gave a blueprint for people to follow to be contribute something . weather it be at work , family, whatever it is....his attitude was unique..

[team407izme]

┌П┐(•_•)┌П┐awsome

[dre4eva]

Great video

[bimwopbarn]

real talk from dennis rodman

[yinblacks]

damn, dennis got fat lip

[cmbuvi92]

i dare ANYONE to get on Jordan's level. Left the game as the best, came back and made the best team as a 30 yr old...GREATEST

[FightingForFreedom23]

I agree the NBA today just isnt the same. Its just not as raw and pure as it used to be, all the glitz and money has diluted it. When Jordan left the game for good after the Wizards, that to me was like the beginning of the end of basketball. Thankfully people like Lebron and Wade came in, but still...I miss the old days of the NBA on NBC..and everybody had on Chicago Bulls clothes...remember those days? When you thought NBA Jam was the greatest game in the world lol

[rickey52007]

man i agree ;]

[bigsteve0999]

glitz and money ? yes i agree that the nba isnt the same b.cuz ever since the brawl the players arent allowed to show their emotions which really pisses me off but MJ, even tho he is one of the best, he is the most celebrated athlete b.cuz of the glitz, b.cuz of the media

[diller92]

rodman talking at 5:17 sums up today's NBA perfectly. Back when Michael Scottie and Dennis were in the league, players got paid based on performance. Today players get paid on potential. It creates the poor product that is the NBA today.

[davedropd1]

so true when I happen to catch a game these days the players look like hoddlum boys. The old guard were MEN and far superior. Doc rivers, john stockton, sean elliot and epecially Detlef Schrempf.

[BZOE]

wow man, thats deep, lol i agree even though I didn't know that...but that does shed a lot of light

[MJRookieRook]

Why the nice soft music stop when Dennis' interview came up lol....I don't care what ppl say about him, Dennis is my boy!!!!!

[joebm08]

Man, i used to think something of this guy but after watching HIM oN VH! celebrity rehab, i lost all the respect for him. He is the definition of an A-hole. You guys should watch him and i will tell you that y'all will not like him.

[NICKST3R182]

uhh he's always been like that... how do u not respect someone who led the league in rebounds for 7 straight seasons?

[joebm08]

I admire what he has done for the Game.. But the way Rodman acts is beyond normal.

[davedropd1]

he has some issues, but I'd take him 7 days a week and twice on sunday, compared to todays players. He only has 1 less ring than mike & pip...

[RashadTheLogic]

Dennis Rodman=Joker

[RealDefentertainment]

4:17 thats so cool and sad at the same time

that kid wants to be like Dennis

i really think it`s a blessing to have any being look up to you.

I like Dennis because he isn`t afraid to do anything i.e he cross dresses and don`t even care what people say

[unforg1v3n]

I'm actually surprised at how down-to-earth Rodman sounds like in this interview.

I liked his eccentric looks and his attitude and what he says in this interview is true and even more basketball players nowadays are all about the money they get. Which is sad. Not that they should be playing for free, but what they get is excessive.

[2707zay]

Dennis Scottie And Michael the greatest trio ever period.

[HYNTproductions]

@2707zay

NO, the greatest trio ever was...

SHAQ

KOBE

KWAME

[Keranofkri]

You suck!

23,33,81 Bulls is the best ever smuck

-6 Your rating would go down to -30000 if youtube allowed it, kill yourself please

[HYNTproductions]

@Keranofkri

┌П┐(•_•)┌П┐

[brownie003]

magic, kareem, worthy??

[kidkash5itty3]

@2707zay  LEBRON WADE AND BOSH

[Scampbell32]

@2707zay not any more...

lebron james

chris bosh

dwayne wade.

[Koloaboy96756]

@Scampbell32 They haven't proven a damn thing..especially Lebron James.

[shilmoov]

@Scampbell32  thats right

[Thrill0g]

@Scampbell32 LOOOOOL

almost fell of my chair man.... is lebron supposed to be Jordan then? LOL

[Scampbell32]

@Thrill0g number 23 for life man

[geekybutpretty101]

@Scampbell32 Shut the fuck up. It's just all hype. What have they proven? Nothing.

[XBlackRose023X]

@2707zay Be honest, stop sucking up -_-. I think the greatest trio ever was Magic Johnson, Kareem, and james Worthy, all HOF and 5 rings.

Larry Bird, Robert Parish, Kevin McHale. All HOF 4 rings.

Wilt Chaimberlain (Numerous records o.O), Elgin Baylor, and Jerry West. All HOF 1 ring.

And don't get me started on this one. This can be 4 or 3 players. Bob Cousy, Bill Russell(11 rings) , John Haviliek/John Heinsohn. ALL HOF, 8 RINGS.

Newer one like Boston's Big 3, and now Miami's.

[irod13]

@XBlackRose023X I believe that it depends on the perspective that you name then as the best trio ever. All the players that you named are legends and they were the best players of those great dynasties. Greetings!

[MiggeX]

@2707zay Better than the Heat 10/11 trio... Way better

[MrHappyGoFunTime]

@2707zay this was posted before lebron, d. wade, and bosh.

[MarcusXR8D]

@2707zay

Shaq Kobe and Fisher, thats an arguement!

[RealspitHiphop604]

hehe dennis with pink nails

[forgetpolitics]

Money, Money, Money- clip of Shaq

[tima2604]

он будет всегда

[bwink23]

coffee, yeah whatever....Jordan woud never accept losing and not giving his all for another championship, no matter what his love for the game is like. The man is a fierce competitor, and you are a moron.

[coffee468]

for the ppl who say jordan wouldve won those 2 yrs he retired this interview shows that wouldn't have happened. he lost his love of the game. just that alone would have prevented them from winning. i think those 2 yrs gave him perspective and is one of the most important factors 2 him winning the next 3

[riiad]

What you say make sense. But you don't know and can't say that he wouldn't have won. MJ wanted to retire since Barcelona Olympics. So he had already lost the desire. The only reason that made him stay one more season is that he wanted to achieve a three peat. And he won! If MJ wouldn't have retired it would have meant that he had a good reason to stay so it's in ultra high probability that he would have won.

[75samuel75]

@coffee468 I think he was just tired of the publicity. Kobe has it easy. Jordan's life was like a life of Michael Jackson's. People just went crazy when he showed up so he couldn't do regular things at all. There is a great article about the last season with the Bulls in SI, it's crazy what people would do just to get a glimpse of Jordan. Plus he had achieved everything in has career. What's the motivation if you are so much better than everyone else?

[at1212b]

@75samuel75 Yup. I had that issue, and that article is also online through SI's archive.

The main jist was during the season and locker room, it was the Emperor's domain. One story was he turned down everybody down that waned to see him, including a Congressman, but if you're meek enough, like a marathon winner from a poor country, you would get the nod.

Ichiro Suzuki as a rookie when coming to the US from Japan, his wish was to meet MJ which he did.

Now that's crazy stuff.

[lorenllbj88]

@coffee468 somebody with some sense, and 2) i would love to see who on the bulls would have checked Hakeem? Luc Longley? HAHA GTFOH..I think he left for other reasons(gambling, father, loss of interest in the game, etc) but hey it didnt happen, he didnt win 8 str8 so deal with it

[AvEryBadApPLe]

there will NEVER be another rodman

[dubblej23]

Dennis Rodman, i miss this guy...so badass that he likes pearl jam

[superfob54]

Lol. If anyone here is honestly dumb enough to say that Kobe is even half the player Jordan was, do yourself and everyone else a favor and just be quiet.

[bigfresh2001]

rodman is the fuckin man enough said

[JewelzFinazzo]

@bigfresh2001 Thank you... Rodman is the shit

[Ryzon28]

worm is one of the greatest players in history period..........Dream,worm,pip­, jordan, magic and its a done deal............dont need a scoring PF just the baddest rebounder/toughest defender of all time

[spncrmorrissette]

Rodman was a good ass player but then just turned into a fuck

[bhubbart]

Wow Dennis said something real nice. It is about the money first

[TheNAMTHEBEST]

no mj is tougher than kobe,

[ithrowtdz]

It's scary how similar Kobe is to Jordan and Artest is to Rodman, like their speech patterns and mannerisms....

[eazye07]

kobe tries to act like jordan ARTEST is just crazy as hell lmao him and rodman are like twinz
