Comments on: Phil Jackson: Dennis Rodman Is a Hall of Famer ‘Without a Doubt’ http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/phil-jackson-dennis-rodman-is-a-hall-of-famer/13092 Brown Bag it, Baby Tue, 14 Feb 2012 04:47:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: tucker http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/phil-jackson-dennis-rodman-is-a-hall-of-famer/13092/comment-page-1#comment-818660 tucker Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:01:13 +0000 http://larrybrownsports.com/?p=13092#comment-818660 Uh Kevin, Integral part of 5 championship teams, not focusing on his job? I'll bet a lot of coaches would take that lack of focus. Phil was smart enough to let Dennis do his thing (superstars get superstar rules) and understood how to coach him. Plus he had MJ to keep him in line on the court. That's why it never worked out in San Antonio. He looked up and down the bench and said what have you ever won and you're telling me how to play? Yes, his career after the MJ Bulls were disbanded wasn't much to be proud of. Still a no doubter. Uh Kevin,

Once his mind went haywire, however, he played far fewer games and became more of a carnival act than an everyday force in the NBA. He's a borderline case for me...I loved his rebounding and defense but the rest left me cold. Had he focused on his job and his team, his induction would already have happened. I never saw another player to compare him with, that's for sure. As a native Detroiter and a life-long fan of the Pistons, I can honestly say that Rodman was a beauty to watch.

Best rebounder of his generation. Incredible defensive player. Sneaky quick and knew how to get to your spot before you did. Only man he couldn't guard was Malone. Malone just looked at him like he crazy. He destroyed Chris Weber and Alonzo Mourning in the playoffs. Caused Pipen all sorts of problems. Ask Bird an McHale if he is a HOFer. No question HOFer.
