Huh, somehow Rodman averaged a higher eFG% in his whole career than Isaac did in his best season. Weird.
Also Rodman’s eFG was higher than Jordan. Therefore Rodman is a better offensive player than Jordan. I is smart I watch NBA game in 1997! Defense soft, no heart.
I’m just not sure what you’re basing Rodman being this offensive liability on? The offenses his teams had seemed pretty strong to be honest.
lol, solid trolling work after literally 100 messages where i’m trying to explain this concept to you.
Sounds like you’re doing a pretty shitty job

i don’t get the whole 3 point thing either. Teams didn’t shoot as many 3 points before and they were winning championship just fine.
Keed, 2020.
shit man Jordan was a shitty 3-point shooter. You think he’d be a career .320 3 point shooter if he was playing today? Of course not. Totally absurd. He would adapt. Great players adapt. Rodman was a great player and would adapt too.
If the Warriors of the past few seasons took the minutes they gave to Kevon Looney and Jordan Bell and gave them to Dennis Rodman, would they be a better team? Unless you believe they would actually be much worse, Rodman has a place in the modern NBA, even if that place is as a more versatile Ed Davis rather than a non-scoring star.
Hot take: Rodman would be more useful to a championship contender than Carmelo Anthony.
Rodman also did what he did with 3-40 drinks in him from the night before lol

Sure, if we’re going to a 15-18 MPG role on a super team, he can do that probably. I’m pretty sure Keed believes he would still be a HOF’er.
Again, I think it’s far more likely that his massive advantages over his opponents would diminish today than that he develops something he showed no remote talent for.
haha Philander Rodman lol
The sickest part about Rodman btw was his age. He was like 35-36 during the Bulls years. That’s insane. Being in that shape at that age with his lifestyle is borderline superhuman.

I think all the hall of famers from the 1990s would be at the very least pretty good NBA players today. They’d all start somewhere. And if I’m wrong about that it’s the very big men that would not find a place, certainly not the 6’7" athletic freaks who can guard anyone on the court their size or larger and grab rebounds all over the place.
I had a close friend that was late to basketball but was a brick shithouse from working in drywall (w/ his abusive stepdad) from a preteen age. He was naturally skinny prior but he became an Adonis at like 14.
He would go to the gym and he wasn’t that coordinated but played exactly like Rodman without the full basketball IQ ldo, he patterned what he’d do after him. It was like a different game to him from what the rest of us were trying to do (this is a bit true for me as well bc I was always a vision, pass-first guy).
Anyway, dude killed himself at 19.

LaBradford Smith is the best part of the entire The Last Dance documentary lmaoo
I love the Rodman discussion going on itt folks.
Rodman was one of my favorite players in the 90s.
My take:
He would adjust, he would adapt. He would be Rodman 2.0.

Just checking in, is this the new TZ now?
That thread always moved too fast for me on 2p2, but in between all the no content gameday posts, I always appreciated the level of discussion
My take on Pippen and Rodman is that they were rare talents with a very unique skillset… their strengths were that they did certain things extremely well.
That singular brilliance should be cherished, in any era.

sup bro.
Thinking about it for a sec, I think the comp for Pippen is a better Iggy.
Let’s look at it:
And these are what his numbers looked like in a more Pippen-like role (pre-GS and all their scoring):
First time in my life I ever noticed stuff trending on twitter and wondered why. Apparently Christian Laettner is trending ahead of Last Dance episode 5 - as people are wondering why he was on the Dream Team.
Also Todd Bridges who is apparently trending because someone tweeted this NSFW clip from Little House on the Prairie:

Also far-away Michael Landon needs to become a meme.
