Rodman said he would have easily locked LeBron James down. What you think?

[KingTaharqa]

Rodman's no JJ Barea

Damn shame cuz all the Puerto Ricans cant rally around him like a white man from they country beating that nigga LeBron for a decade. Aint that right @tallblacknyc. Puerto Rico has never been prouder than when they beat the nigga in 2011. Greatest moment for the island the last 20 years.

Puerto Ricans > Niggas

And Rodman is out of his tranny fucking mind thinking he'd lockdown Bron. Tell that broke faggot to get back in the bed of the truck and put the shotty to his mouth again. He talkin crazy. Aint no nigga that was gone kill his self over a trailer park whore tough enough to lock Bron. Shawn Kemp destroyed him and put nuts in his face but Bron would get locked.

Game Stats: Pistons vs. Magic, 98-97 in the 1993 NBA Regular Season

Box score from the NBA basketball game played between the Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic on January 02, 1993 with final result, scoring by period, game leaders and statistics by team and by player.

Box score. Look like dennis locked down shaq

Another one 36 and 16 sure is a lock up in a playoff game

Yea as time passes Bulls players legends just grow and grow. Next they'll say Rodman could average 20 today and shoot 80% from the free throw line.

These threads always morph into a "the best from todays era aint shit, all these niggas aint shit, I miss the Bulls and Jordan" thread. Niggas and cacs cant be realistic about their childhood heroes. In the NBA all the dudes that worship white women are depicted as the toughest.

Shannon love himself some LeBron.

Shannon love himself some LeBron.

Skip loves him some Jordan. Most cacs do. He's so non threatening, all his money bout to go back to their community, and he uses his brand to tear down niggas. If I was a 70 year old white man from Oklahoma I'd relate to him more than Bron.

If I were a white man from South Florida Id relate to a white man from Puerto Rico (JJ Barea) more then some big black nigga from Akron, OH as well.

I didn't read all the threads, but with the rules being different now, he would've fouled out early.

You would think Shannon and LeBron were in a relationship the way Shannon be seeming though. I don't even like watching Shannon cause he is always on LeBron nut saks.

 

[KingTaharqa]

He got in foul trouble early back then too. After his Piston days Dennis defense is OVERRATED (as shown earlier by the Shaq stats) he wasnt locking perimeter players down anymore and would give up on D to get early position for rebounds, which was all he cared about by that point.

The assumption is since young Dennis of the Pistons use to lock Jordan old Dennis of the Bulls would easily lock Bron. Since to the Jordan dickrider, "Jordan is tougher to defend".

 

[KingTaharqa]

You would think Skip is married to a bald head black man. He wears his clothes and shoes more than the ones his wife bought him.

Whats funny is Skip is the biggest Jordan dickrider, but even he says now Tom Brady is a better athlete, better career, more aspirational, and easily greater.

 

[xxironxx]

offensive beats defense. Would he make him with to score, yes. Would he still get buckets, yes

 

[power lord]

I love Dennis Rodman he was a great player was great a defender a great rebounder but lebron James is an all-time great no worst then top five or if you Skip Bayless top 10 you do not shut down top 10 players would the "worm" in his prime make it a little tougher yes.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Look at the poll results, BGOL is a bunch of "ex-90's Bulls" fans and "Jordan is 10 times better than Bron" stans. I promise you this is a thread that will get bumped 10 years from now and everyone is gonna laugh at the delusion.

 

[AllUniverse17]

Im cool with Rodman thinking he could shut down anyone. He's supposed to have that mentality. He's supposed to believe that.

He wouldnt have a chance though. He's a great defender so he would do better then most obviously but he wouldnt be able to keep up on the perimeter throughout the whole game.

 

[KingTaharqa]

So to be clear, what Dennis is saying is he would lock EVERYBODY who's playing today down. LeBron James has been the best offensive player in the NBA the last 16 years. If Dennis shuts him down he'd shut down anybody playing today. How self serving. Thats why its important to clout chase LeBron and not say James Harden or Steph Curry or Kawhi. To get the clout you want those guys aint gon do it for you.

 

[legacy_infinity]

If Hakeem Olajuwon played today they would be saying "Rodman would lock down kareem".


And yall act like 100% of basketball is played in the half court setting.

As if fast break points dont exist, scoring w/out the ball dont exist

You’re right, if Hakeem played today Rodman would lock down Kareem. Being that Kareem isn’t even on the court.

 

[Walter Panov]

He locked Shaq down, so yeah.

 

[KingTaharqa]

He locked Shaq down, so yeah.

It wasnt Shaq, it was Jordan. He locked Jordan down in 88, 89, and 90.

 

[AllUniverse17]

Here's the deal though...

If Magic couldn't be stopped in the 80s, why would anyone think Lebron could be stopped?

Magic used his higher bball IQ, size, handle and athleticism to get into the paint at will.

Lebron has more size, more handle, ALOT more athletic ability, and even if Magic has higher bball IQ, Lebron's is still up there.

 

[KunningLinguist]

Rodman was neutralizing centers. If I remember correctly they had Rodman on Jordan a few times during the bad boy era.

Shawn Kemp did not get it done in the 96 finals. As far Malone, he always offer himself in big games.

You mean the sonics didn't get it done don't you?

And I remember Kemp dunking all over Rodman

And breh NOBODY was containing Malone back then....

Yes rodman was a great defender. But the narrative that he shut cats down is false

Great individual offense always trumps great individual defense

You need a team defensive approach to stop great players

 

[KunningLinguist]

It wasnt Shaq, it was Jordan. He locked Jordan down in 88, 89, and 90.

No he didn't.
Did yall even watch those series.
Not YouTube highlights
The actual series.

Apparently Rodman has become the God of all defenders

But LeBron is a nigga. So we have to ignore all that. He represents all the niggas playing today. Everybody from the 80s and 90s is tougher and more superior to these no good niggas out there today.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Yes I watched all 3. Jordan was outscored by a teammate in the elimination game in 88. Rodman locked his ass. How you think he built his name to win back to back DPOYs back then? Everyone is mentioning Shaq cuz they dont wanna mention Rodman locking Jordans ass. Its why they went after him as a Bull, they knew his defensive capability.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Old Rodman getting posterized by Kemp....

 

[LordSinister]

People sure do like to take these narratives and run with them.

Rodman would go full mailbox pimp on him and force Bron into a fight.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Rodman would go full mailbox pimp on him and force Bron into a fight.

You notice Bron has never been in an NBA fight. Cats aint dumb, they know who to try and not to try. Funny how bums would try and actual fought some of your suburban NBA heroes with "killer instinct".

 

[REDLINE]

Rodman would go full mailbox pimp on him and force Bron into a fight.

This narrative that many like to push that Lebron is “Soft”needs to be stopped.

Y’all really think this type of bs will get in Lebron’s head?

 

[KingTaharqa]

LeBron is soft he grew up in the projects in Ohio surrounded by drug activity. You gotta grow up in the suburbs surrounded by cacs or in a foreign country to have "killer instinct".

All young black men today are soft punks, Bron is just the most successful one.

 

[LordSinister]

You think Draymond is equal to Rodman? Believe me if this was in the 80's the worm is catching blows.

 

[KingTaharqa]

You think Draymond is equal to Rodman? Believe me if this was in the 80's the worm is catching blows.

Rodman would grab your ass and try to be a pest but he aint wanna throw hands. Artest is tougher than Rodman, how'd he fare against Bron?

Yall so desperate yall overrating Tranny lovers now. If Rodman was born in the 80s, wouldnt matter how good a rebounder he was, yall would call him a faggot like Dwight Howard. He gets a pass for being born directly after Civil Rights. Most worthless era of niggas ever born.

 

[REDLINE]

No I don’t think Draymond’s equal to Rodman. What I showed you was two incidents of Lebron not putting up with the bs antics.

Rodman pushed Pippen in the back in the 80’s. Other than that Rodman wasn’t a tuff guy, he just did bs antics to irritate players. I don’t believe Lebron wouldn’t have fell for the antics just like most players didn’t.

 

[roots69]

Yes, Rodman would shut down James bigtime!!

 

[playahaitian]

I never understood how Kareem is always left out as one of the greatest players ever. That's some disrespectful shit. Keep in mind also Rodman was a master at head games. All it takes is for him to say he fucked Lebron's wife and nutted in her ass to force two straight airballs. It's not what's being said when it comes to trash talk, but rather who and how they say it. Anyone who believes raw athleticism will power Lebron past Rodman didn't pay attention to his game in the 80's, 90's and are fooling themselves.

On the kareem thing

Its because so called fans are just as guilty as so called sports experts

Because they just don't "like" him?

They dismiss him

I completely disagree with the implication lebron is mentally weak

He proven that isnt the case on and OFF the court.

Lebron went at the president and supported Trayvon

Back in the day when mike was saying when black kids were dying over his sneakers...

Republicans buy sneakers too.

Dudes quit the league just being COMPARED to jordan

Dudes quit over jordan practices

Modern players got burner accounts, refuse to shoot jumpers during games, cry over tweets, articles and blogs and need therapy and off days to decompress

So there a WHOLE LOT OF PLAYERS BEFORE you name lebron as mentally weak past and present

I think Lebron mentally would be fine.

But Rodman would make his life miserable like he did everyone.

Lebron still get his numbers though.
