He went on to become one of the fiercest defenders and the most tenacious rebounder of all-time. It was evident from the very beginning that the impact he was going to have in Detroit was substantial.
By the end of his second season in the league, he was already averaging He was never the first, second, third, or even fourth option to score the ball.
When he arrived in Detroit, he often kept to himself and he was incredibly shy. He immediately bonded with his teammates and his coaches, but no relationship meant more to Rodman than the one he had with former Pistons head coach Chuck Daly.
Multiple former members of the organization have been on record in the past saying that Daly essentially acted as a father figure for Rodman, who had a troubled upbringing. He was the quintessential embodiment of what the Bad Boys encapsulated. The punishing defenses led by him, Bill Laimbeer and Rick Mahorn were devastating and eventually even caused Michael Jordan to reinvent himself physically. After seven years with the Pistons, Rodman was traded to the Spurs and by , he became a member of the Chicago Bulls.
He was now teammates with the guys that he spent so man years beating up on. Furthermore, he's the only player who you can't argue was ever the "Robin" on a championship team. Clearly, in through , Shaquille O'Neal was the driving force. For Kareem, it was because Magic Johnson was in charge. In fact, while Jordan has six finals MVPs, the other two have only two a piece.
For Russell, on his first two championship teams and his last one, it is evident that he wasn't even the second best player on the team.
That's not a swipe though. He was first a very young player on a team loaded with Hall of Famers and a veteran past his prime. There were no Finals MVPs awarded then, but it's likely he could have won six. However, there remains the earlier fact that he had by far the most Hall-of-Fame help of any of the players. In terms of help, Jordan received significantly less than any of the other three.
Statistically speaking, there can be no argument. Jordan is not only clearly ahead in terms of absolute value. He is also clearly ahead in relative value. However, there will be those who argue that numbers don't tell the whole story. Now, first, I will say that I agree with that. It has been my observation though that generally when people make that argument, they deny the part of the story that the numbers do tell. Numbers don't tell the whole story, but they do tell a pretty good chunk of it.
As to the part that the numbers don't tell, Jordan wins there as well. He's the only one of them who never lost in a finals.
He is the only one who won the finals MVP every time. He's the only one who never played a game seven. He has won two series on a game-winning assist and he's won one series with a game-winning shot. He had the flu game. He had the shrug. He had the cry. He had not one, but two point finals games.
He had eight point games. His "worst" game in the finals was "only" 22 points with four boards and four assists. When John Hollinger did his best finals performances, Jordan had four of the top 10 slots and five of the top The narrative part of the story is not lost on Michael Jordan. No, the story is not lost there.
Nor is it stuck in only the finals. His game itself is what separates him from mere mortals, or even the "demigods," such as Kobe Bryant and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The most amazing thing about Jordan is that his best help was not Scottie Pippen.
It's not to take anything away from Pippen, but it's what Pippen wasn't that makes Jordan extraordinary, and that's a big man. When you look at every other great team, there's always been a ball handler and distributor on the outside, and a scorer, a big man, on the inside. Jordan was unique in that he served as both. Jordan referred to him as one of the smartest players he has played with, as he could understand defensive strategy with all the rotations.
Rodman holds the league record for games with plus rebounds in NBA history. No other player has more than Had to rewind and pause. Yup, Rodman is studying notes on the Kings and watching Mitch Richmond on video.
