For sure, but he was still the only one who could defend Malone. They lose that series without him.
reply
yes he did but Malone had a bad shooting series from the perimeter and it wasn't great defense, he missed open shots
reply
I recall a graphic from that series that showed Malone absolutely scorching everyone except for Rodman. There are a lot of intangibles to Rodman's defense. He gets under guys' skin and in their heads and throws them off their game.

Ya if I recall his nickname was the worm, but that’s why he looked the way he did. Was all in an effort to f with you. You are right there were levels to his defensive game. This was at a time when no one was looking like that on TV. Guy was even different in high school.

Karl was a great player but he was terrible in the clutch
Game 1, 1997 finals, missed 2 free throws at the end of the game
Bulls win in OT
reply
can you find that graphic?
reply
It's in here somewhere. I think it was from game 6 but it might have been something they showed earlier in the series.
reply
I thought Longley did a decent job on Karl in 1997 and 98
