Colin Cowherd on Dennis Rodman
Dennis Rodman was more than just a Chicago Bulls forward, he was exactly what the team desperately needed in order to continue their dominance in the league. That particular has gone down in history as the greatest team ever besides a couple of others. Every superstar player always has a role player that he relies on when he is not able to produce or when he needs help to produce, the Worm was exactly that type of a player.
The former NBA superstar had quite the reputation of being ratchet and was very outgoing with his personality. Rodman was seen often partying and gambling outside of the game. Another attribute that followed was him being a worldwide sex symbol. Rodman often speaks about his wild nature while he was still with the league but he specifically regrets living a certain lifestyle that ruined his off-court relationships.
Colin Cowherd speaks about The Worm being undervalued as a player
The 90s was completely dominated by Michael Jordan and the Bulls roster that consisted of Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen. All three players worked for hand in glove to consistently put up winning numbers. Rodman is known as one of the all-time greatest rebounders and no one has matched his level of ability.
Colin Cowherd spoke on the Bulls legend saying, “If you ask people, and I’ve talked to players about this through the years, who faced the Bulls. It was Jordan and not Pippen, it was Jordan and Rodman. Magic will tell you, Rodman was completely annoying. Jordan was on another galaxy. Pippen would get his 18. It was Rodman’s ability to disrupt and discombobulate a Laker, Piston, Celtic offense that he was totally undervalued.”
Dennis Rodman highlights his role with the Bulls during the 90s
Dennis Rodman was one crazy rebounder and what he was also really good at was his defense. He made the All-Defensive team eight times during his career. Rodman got candid in an interview with GQ where he explained the efforts he took to become the best defender in the league, he said, “I worked on defense every day for, like, a couple of years. And all of a sudden, I perfected it to the point where I knew how players were going to react to something.”
The Worm was very respectful and fond of his teammates. “You got the greatest basketball player on the planet, the greatest in Scottie Pippen, and then you got the devil,” said the Hall of Famer. He also was very appreciative of Phil Jackson who coached the team when he played. Dennis explained how the coach was never treated the way he should have been. As a token of appreciation, he bought Jackson an exclusive motorcycle to show that he was thankful for believing in his skills.
