Dennis Rodman is confident that the Chicago Bulls during the Michael Jordan era would beat the Golden State Warriors at their peak and says Draymond Green would not match up against him.

I still take bulls over that warriors, the bulls defense will lock down all of them ,and just like DR said , who will guard jordan?
Draymond thinks he is a good defender because nobody else is playing defense anymore
That Green guy. 💀 Dang Rodman flat out embarrassed him.
It’s not even a debate. Rodman guarded Shaq, Chuck & Malone in the paint all by himself
Bullz would drag GS. Mike n crew were to long at the guard position and played great D. Dre cant handle Rodman.
Man…he drrunk.. Draymond will eat his a$$ up… Draymond will eat him and dish out passes for good offense. While he gets ejected
Dude thinks 90s warriors can beat 2017 warriors
Dude is tripping hard
wouldn't eating out of ur hands mean he's taking ur food?
If Dennis was able to handle Shaq. Draymond would be easily handled by Dennis. Fact.
Yes, sakuragi like rodman, d king of rebound, hahaha
This still cracks me to this day..That bulls was loaded man..imagine having Kobe and lebron in 1 team..and they play with no egos. Then having Luka(kukoc) as a backup..with the accuracy of Steve in 3. I think Steve won a 3 point shootout… And who can forget this dude..I tell you, Michael is a beast . But he has a superteam man..that's all I can say. That team was stacked…
"keep getting your teeth straight honey, listen to your momma" i'm dead
Rodman got 6 foot 9 son lol and he can score he should be in the league
Its a honor to be mention by the defensive GOAT
Imagine being so off the wall , so untraditional but still being admired by every basketball fans.
That is how brutal and talented this rodman guy was.
Noone even is close to this guy.
draymond's not even close lol respect to draymond tho one of the best help defenders out there
also i agree with pippen hes more like a team defender
The Bulls would've WIPED THE FLOOR with them…
When people say stuff like what he said about the old warriors beating the kd warriors it makes his statements illegitimate
This is laughable, in what world is the bulls with only 1 great scorer who cant shoot 3s is outscoring a team with 3 all time shooters/scorers. "well with 90s rules, the bulls win". The 90s rules would give the warriors more of an advantage due to zones being considered illegal and the 3 pt line being moved up. Imagine trying to guard that team with no zones and a shortened 3 pt line. The bulls would get swept so bad jordan would retire after the first game.
Max is definitely more cultured than Stephan.
Peak warriors defeat the Bulls anyways , say whatever
Dennis u were good but ns u were the bbal savant DG23 was. No one knows what team would beat in diff eras.
Green Guy? 😂
Rodman guarding Draymond…*translation – mentally frustrate him
Rodman has every right to talk to Draymond like a parent lol. Dude in the 80s and 90s was like a machine. No matter who it was, he locked them down regardless of position or offensive prowess. Draymond is a great defender but Rodman is many times even greater than that. Scottie may not have been a mental defender like Rodman was, but raw post up skills, Scottie I think even is way better a defender than Draymond. Rodman even gives Scottie his props as a defender. Only Bronsexuals and modern day fans would disrespect guys like Rodman and Pippen with discrediting their defensive skills.
Warriors in 6
Jordan would find extra motivation and not lose this series. He found motivation from nothing. He would welcome the challenge and embrace it, and rise above it. At this point(1996), Jordan was smarter than he was a year before. Having the greatest natural rebounder ever in Rodman was an enormous perk. Bulls defended better and could score with anyone. Edge Bulls for sure. Even with rules now. With rules now, Jordan would exploit those and find an advantage. He’d average 60+ against the Warriors. The Sonics were 68-16 ffs in 1996. No slouch and they went down 3 games to nothing against the Bulls.
Rodman is the GROAT
Rodman knows period!
And who's guarding steph lol. What about KD? Klay?
Rodman was actually tough. Draymond is just fake tough
Run TMC could definitely compete and beat the recent Warriors teams. Mullin, Hardaway and Mitch Richmond are all underrated but great players
Dennis: “Draymond would be eating out my hand!” 🍇
Green: “I woulda slept him!” 🥊
Dennis: I got N. Korea on stand by. Try it.
Wow
Those Bulls would have been close with the 73 win Warriors. But no chance they are beating the Kevin Durant Warriors. Kd knew he was making an unbeatable team when he did what he did
Jordan doesn't lose a final, everything else is just details.
👍👍
Rodman would foul out of today's game. Draymond wouldn't unless he wants too.
when Rodman rolled off that little rant about the green guy the panel should've been laughing, that was hilarious but nowadays so many 'squares' have no to little sense of humor
Rodman Is one of the most inteligent player ever play the game. He knows what game really is. I love MJ he’s a GOAT above all but in 1996 NBA Finals MPV should be given to Rodman.
No one player has the Dennis attitude, he doesn't care of pain and slam himself on the ground. So he said in the last dance. He pushed himself against biggest mens in the league with no fear.
Exactly
