“A skilled Dennis Rodman”

Chicago might not have won one of those championships without Rodman.

One of the best rebounders/defensive players of his generation...and one of the weirdest too.
Probably not both of those Pistons championships either.

I think something that is often overlooked is the time period that he was getting those rebounds. It wasn't 4 out. He had to go up against peak versions of Barkley, Ewing, Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Robinson, etc.
 
How was Rodman u skilled? Defense and rebounding is a skill! He was one of best last 50 years at both. Yes his un heard of gas tank where he could play 48 min all out without tiring and ability to party like a rock star then play hours later 100% was a natural gift I cant explain. But his D and rebounding were skills.

If MoD ia near Rodmans skill level were wining a title this year

I absolutely love young people. This junior in college is a more skilled NBA hall of famer!

Was Dennis skillless????

I assume he meant offensively unskilled. Rodman couldn’t make anything but a 1-footer or a dunk

Not true at all. He rarely shot the ball, but regularly knocked down 3s. The Internet says he shot 23%, which wasnt awful for a pf back then.

He was absolutely skilled on offense. Just so focused on defense, he mostly deferred on offense. He wouldn't shoot unless someone left him completely wide open

Lol. Absolutely not. He had no skill on offense. Couldn't dribble. Couldn't shoot. 23% 3 point shooting isn't good, no matter what position you play. You don't get brownie points for being the tallest midget, and 23% isn't that great among power forwards then. Also, shot less than 60% from free throw line. Only shot 52% from field of mostly bunny shots. Kinda average for a power forward who had no responsibility to score. No one would use the word skilled because of that.
