@jayjoetube14 Rodman's ass was dumped by Jerry West. He never wanted to sign him to begin with, it was mandated by Buss, who was Rodman's personal friend. Rodman started his BS w/ not showing up and refusing to check into a game. Then he was gone. The other reason Shaq and Kobe couldn't win a ring is because teams win titles. Having 2 stars doesn't guarantee shit. The won the next season w/ Phil and an entirely new culture and roster.
No one will ever be like Rodman. He was one of a kind. 95% of nba players now a days are a bunch of pussies. Rodman had the BALLSACK to live his life the way he wanted to, and if that meant headbutting a ref for a bad call, then so be it. RODMAN IS A LEGEND
Haha, I honestly wonder if Ron is trying to be like Rodman or he's just doing what is likes naturally; I mean their sense of style and fashion, their defensive play, but the only thing Ron doesn't own are the rings like Rodman has.....but he may get some one day. We will never know...The past 90's Bull's spirit of dominance and style starting to transcend to the Lakers...? :)
he was out of control , him in a spotlight like LA at this point in is career was always going to end badly. Respect to the guy though he must have been 39 years old here, still holding his own with much younger guys, a frikkin legend and very entertaining.
Cause he wasn't. He went to a football training camp a few years ago and was struck in the eye by a football thrown by one of those projectors. He had surgery on it because of it.
These are excelent highlights, Rodman was playing really good when he bwent to Lakers, on top of he's game I think....that follow up dunk is super cool.
the reason is he's been playing with a championship that know how to work as a team Detroit, Spurs, Chicago, but when he played for the lakers, the constant friction between Shaq and kobe didn't reflect a good team is. They had the best team in the NBA,but they were acting like a child, so that's why rodman didn't take it seriously when he played for the lakers. watch beyond the glory of dennis rodman, he explained it all.
i remember when i was little i hated this guy for acting out. id yell at the tv and everything, but now i can appreciate all that he has done. i love how he bows to the ref when he's at the foul like. he deserves respect for having the balls to do all he did, and all of his hustle plays as well.
scraper, hustler, ass kicker, balls out defender, master of mind games, extremely passionate, self promoting basketball player, champion and legend of the hardwood. NO ONE CURRENTLY IN THE NBA HAS THE STONES AND DETERMINATION TO EMULATED THAT DUDE!!!
i've watched all the games when rodman was with our tean and i can assure you he didn't care about basketball at that time and he was at the downfall of his career,of course he was a great player but when he became a laker he only did it for him to be in la,hollywood
I loved the 98-99 Laker team. I know it was a lockout season so its technically only the 99 Laker team. Kobe Bryant became a starter and finally broke out. Made the All-NBA 3rd. We had Rodman who was a beast on the boards however due to him being a headcase he was waived. I fully believe we could've defeated the Spurs in the ECSF if we had Rodman. Shaq Vs D-Rob and Rodman vs Duncan. Kobe to take over games. Unfortunately, Lakers got swept.
We would have beat teh Spurs in 1999 if we had not made the trade for Rice. Before the trade, the Lakers beat the Spurs 2 times that season, and 6 in a row overall dating back to the 1997-98 season. After getting Glen Rice and JR Reid, the Lakers then lost five straight against the spurs, including losing by 27 in their last regular season matchup and then getting swept in 4 in the Conference Semifinals.
Good point. Mostly because Reid was overvauled since he was having a great season with Charlotte. Also, Rice wasn't as effective either and wasn't as good defensively as Eddie. And wasn't Shaq who wanted this trade?
Doesn't matter... Glen Rice helped us win a championship the next very next season. It isn't guaranteed that we would have won prior to that trade either. Glen Rice was a 3 point threat and helped spread the floor very well when he was here.
Agreed. Glen Rice was one of the best 3 point shooters in NBA history. The trade for Reid and Rice was good in my opinion, cause if we still had Eddie Jones, we would not have won in 2000. Rice = 3rd Best Player with 2000 Lakers.
No. As a Laker fan, I can say they weren't CLOSE to being a real contender...Rambis had NO control of that team. Rodman had to go...Shaq couldn't stand him and the dude just didn't give a damn.
@cbaldwinjr Yeah pretty much after 1998 championship seson, the bulls were dismantled by Reinsdorf and Rodman was playing for kicks and giggles after that. He was out there for attention and money after leaving the bulls. Can't blame him too much though, 5 rings and a plethora of defensive awards and rebounding titles. Can't really blame Shaq either for not liking Rodman being so wild either though, the Lakers were getting kind of desperate for a title at that time, which they got in 2000.
im still shocked it ended the way it did in LA. when he first went there he was basically Rambis' assistant coach. I think eventually he just got fed up with the kids and seeing guys like Kobe who at the time won shit being payed 50 million times more than he was. He was making the vets minimum.
I remember having the privilege of watching his last regular season game in Seattle when he was with the Mavericks. They lost, but I think he had 12 rebounds in that game.
It kind of bums me out knowing that if L.A. had kept him around another season he would have gotten to play under Phil Jackson again. *Sigh*
i love when he and kobe doesnt care about shaq's motivating teammates, hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!! absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!! Kobe should learn that!!!!
he waas great..unfortunetly i dont think there will be a "new rodman" ever again..i think that everyones too scared to do the shit he did nowadays..the world has been pussified!
He still averaged 14 rebounds a game with the lakers lol say what you want but the man can rebound the ball, the man played for a decade without averaging under 14 rebounds a game. he averaged 18 a game twice. He's 6'7" to 6'8"
When Dennis Rodman came to the Lakers, he really didn't give a shit about Basketball. Living in Orange County, he cared more about partying, that he did playing.
You're a fucking retard and probably a kobe nut hugger judging by your comments. Rodman's love for the game was second to none, he basically owed his life to it and sure as hell had more passion for it then any of those cunts on the laker team. the reason it didn't look like he cared when he was a laker was because nobody cared for him. in chicago p-jax gave him his space in la they basically treated him like shit.
so get your facts straight before making a retarded comment like that.
lol "kobe nit hugger" stop using that stupid ass phrase clone. But i do agree that rodman should have been given alot more leeway. it is LA after all, whats more hollywood than rodman? a bball rockstar. look rodman was a dominant player and we should have kept him, but who knows how much mutual disrespect was goin on behind the scenes. the drug could have really been fuckin up rodman's head. i def would have loved to see him stay, but they must have gotten rid of him for a reason.
the best remememberance i have of when Rodman was a LAKER was when he under cut Matt Harping when the Lakers were playing orlando Magic.......its on this video which is cool
I actually remember that game. Rodman was irritating Kurt Thomas the whole game and tried to foul him out. That "throw" by Thomas was more like Rodman flopping and throwing himself on the ground to draw a tech. It worked.
Here's the reasons why he wore the stranges numbers, He wore #91 in Chicago because 9 + 1= 10, #10 was his number when he was with Detroit, San Antonio and College and also the #10 was retired in Chicago, In L.A. he wore #73 for the same reason 7 + 3= 10, and I believe #10 is also retired in L.A. When he was in Dallas he wore #70 and I don't know why he did, Overall I like it when he wore the stranges numbers, some NBA players wear strange numbers today.
imagine that kobe, shaq, rodman, how come they weren't able to get a ring that time
