taken from wiki:
"Key to Rodman's success as a rebounder in basketball was his ability to tip the ball countless times if he was challenged."
sometimes i still don't understand how dennis rodman is considered a great defensive player, given how it's just that i've heard he held this person and that person to lows. it's not that i think he sucks on defense. i can understand the rebounding. but when i watch him play, it doesn't seem like his opponents are doing worse offensively(but then again, i was basing this upon what i saw from the "ultimate jordan" dvd, where i think i recently only saw one game of dennis, and that was the one where jordan played his last game)
but given how i'll probably be buying the 1988-89 detroit pistons dvd set soon, maybe i'll understand how good he was. joe dumars and dennis rodman were both named for the 1st time to the all-nba defensive first team that year. in fact, joe dumars was just awesome that year, because he also got the finals mvp award that year. out of all the "bad boy" pistons, i probably have the highest respect for joe dumars and dennis rodman; joe for his solid all-around game and class, and dennis for his tremendous tenacity on the boards.
batman beyond and justice league unlimited, both season 3, come out today, tuesday. 20 bucks each. that would complete my collection of both programs.
