Dennis Rodman: 1996 NBA Finals MVP

[Black Magic]

lol Rodman was a fn beast

[Duncan21formvp]

2001

24 ppg
7 rpg
5 apg
41% fg


2002

26 ppg
5 rpg
5 apg
51% fg



double standards !!

Did Kobe have the highest efficiency in the series? Did he average the most points?

Did any of those finals rank in the top 50? Nope not one of them. In fact his teammate had 3 in the top 15 alone.

[Alpha Wolf]

Whats MJ Finals stats 91-93?? before he was 34 years old pah/wolf? LOL Also in the finals in 96-98 MJ would put up Kobe like finals stats, but he still came through in the clutch. lol KB can't even come up in the clutch more then once every 2 finals. He was only clutch in 1 gm of 09 finalsand that was gm 1.

hmmm...intresting point......

so then why are 3 of Kobe's rings invalid because of his numbers but 3 of Jordan's aren't

[Mikaiel]

all we are saying he was really good in that finals and deserve recognition.

Kemp : 23.3 points, 55.1 FG%.

[eliteballer]

lol...Kemp destroyed Rodman in that series.

Because he didn't win as the best on the team and ended up with no finals mvps. He finished 12th, 9th and 5th in MVP voting those years he won the titles while Shaq finished 1st, 3rd and 3rd. You aren't going to get much credit when the other guy finishes ahead of you in MVP voting and when they have better playoff performances and especially finals performances. It isn't that hard to figure out dude. You are just being an a*** now.

now imagine some else guarding kemp... no one would have been able to stop him.. he would average 30+

if rodman wasn't there bulls would have lost

Is this what your talking about? http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playof...Performances-1

Two of Shaq's three finals MVPs were won while playing head to head against Rik Smits and Todd MacCulloch.


Therefore, there's no way in hell those rank among the top 15 finals performances ever


Granted, it's not Shaq's fault who the opponent was, but he might was well have been playing against a couple of high school sophomores given the quality of Smits' and MacCulloch's play


The 2001 final was against Dikembe Mutombo, who was on the downside of his career

And what the hell is this "finals since the merger crap"? Were there no championship series before 1977? Did the NBA and ESPN start at the same time?



Shaq wouldn't have 3 of the top 15 finals performances of all time if ESPN would actually consider finals history

Not really. Certain guys Rodman could not handle. Kemp was one, but also Dale Davis and Antonio Davis were other guys. Those guys tore Rodman up.

That even speaks worse of Kobe. The fact it counted from 1978 till now and he didn't even have a top 50 performance.

you don't get it. there is no such thing as stopping players like kemp.

rodman did his thing by limiting kemp touches on the ball and getting him out of the paint.

once kemp got the ball in the paint. there is no one the that bulls team that could have stopped him. no one on that bulls team could have defended that beast.

[Snoop_Cat]

Ben Wallace should've been MVP/ Co-MVP when they won in my opinion .
Defense wins you championships, not MVPs.

Why Rodman should be ni the HOF though:

I love Rodman. Easily my favourite player of all time. I just love how he celebrates after ever made basket. Throwing his arms up in the air, whilst running back down the court. I have never seen any other player so enthusiastic after scoring a simple a layup.
