The guys that Rodman played against have said he used to say and do things to try and throw people off of their game.

Like i said, do you have proof or just trash people say. Payton just said Lebron wouldn't be unstoppable in the 90's. So I really don't take anything someone says from that era seriously.

LeBron is probably the greatest athlete of the NBA..it was always gonna be easier for him to do things than anyone else.

Show you proof of the question that I just asked that you are ducking? :russ: You proposed that KG was a better head games artist than Rodman. How then is the burden on me to demonstrate Rodman's superiority when you made the assertion about KG? :dwillhuh: Where is the proof for KG?

He is better at getting into players mentally. I seen it numerous times and he's can also dominate in the process. I seen Rodman do it a lot as well but KG is much better as a player therefore much more effective because of it.

I guess you missed the Knick game the other night where Steph had plenty of open attempts. Even after they started doubling him GS found ways to get him open.. but yeah he didn't have space :laugh:

Steph had some open shots and of course knocked them down. He also was getting shots on the dribble through double teams not to mention one of the defenders on him would easily be the best defender MJ has ever seen v. him in the 80's aside from Dumars in Iman Shumpert.

A bunch of fukkin nostalgic retards in this thread..Never mind the fact players these days have better training equipments, which means..they are stronger, faster, etc.

Zone defense trumps that little hand checking rule yall dikkride here.

Reddikk would average 25 back then..stop it.

Little hand checking rule :comeon:

Zone D in the NBA is mostly garbage it isnt even used that often and when used its rarely done effectively. It would get shredded by dudes who could actually shoot unlike a large portion of these "superior athletes" today who couldnt make a jumper to save they lives. Even more than that you do realize that most players back then played 3-4 years of college and have plenty of experience playing against a variety of zone defence, right ?



Reddikk parents prolly be too shook and wouldnt have even let him hoop in the 80/90s hed be selling insurance or something.

Oh so now you've seen them both do it? :pachaha: Just couple posts ago it was

:childplease: Show me proof, this is like some unproven crap fools say to defend something that is flat out not true.

But now you have seen them both. :comeon:

You never saw the likes of the Mailman, or Zo, or Shaq literally laughing Rodman's face like Bron did to KG last year. :stopitslime:
