Does Charles Barkley realize he was small?

"Honestly there isn't that much difference in their rebounding ability:" Gil Scott-Heroin comparing Rodmans and Thompsons rebounding ability

Thompson averaged 4.4 offensive rebounds in 36 minutes last postseason
Rodman averaged 5.4 offensive rebounds in 34 minutes in the 95/96 postseason
Rodman averaged 3.1 offensive rebounds in 28 minutes in the 96/97 postseason
Rodman averaged 4.7 offensive rebounds in 34 minutes in the 97/98 postseason

This is just target practice at this point. Not even breaking a sweat.

This is just target practice at this point. Not even breaking a sweat.

Their TRB% are not even close. Not even while playing on one knee in 96/97.

In other words, their rebounding ability are not even close. Try again.

i) If you read properly @ghostwriterx and I were speaking about Rodman's and TT's offensive rebounding abilites
ii) Rodman focused on inflating his rebound numbers in the latter half of his career
iii) Their offensive rebounding abilities are similar as proven by the above numbers
iv) The end

@KOBE - I forgot to add this to my post.

Not only did Tex Winter criticize Rodman for sacrificing defensive assignments for grabbing rebounds -

But Jackson doesn't deny that Rodman's obsession with rebounds sometimes is, as he puts it, "an obstruction to the team." When the Bulls are on defense, Jackson has seen Rodman leave his man on one side of the basket and move over to the other side of the rim because the rebound was more likely to go in that direction. "There might be a 65 percent chance the ball will go to Dennis's side, but that other 35 percent will mean a layup for his man," Jackson says.

And there are those who believe that part of the reason for Rodman's rebounding success is that he is allowed the luxury of concentrating almost solely on that area. "He's a great rebounder, but he's also a very one-dimensional player," says Unseld, now the Washington Bullets' executive vice president. "I believe there are other players, like [the Suns'] Charles Barkley, who could put up similar numbers if they played the same role Rodman does."

TRICKS OF THE TRADE WITH ELBOWS AND ERUDITION, DENNIS RODMAN OF CHICAGO RULES OVER NBA REBOUNDERS

1995 playoffs Rockets v Spurs -

Sean Elliot: Dennis was intent on getting every rebound, but he wouldn’t come out and guard anyone. That’s why Robert Horry killed us in that series. Dennis wouldn’t guard him!

Here's Rodman playing some Harden-esque defense leaving his man wide open for a gamewinner -

I'm sure the older Spurs fans would be able to tell you how many times Rodman ignored playing defense just to grab rebounds.

Rodman was good for around 20 ORB% for a long stretch of his career. Their offensive rebounding ability is not close.

More lies from you.

Like I said, next time use your own arguments instead of somebody else's.

exact.. straping big men

but draymond plays of the 3 line...

strapping him is the perfect thing to do for get the paint open...


EDIT MEGA PAUUUUSE

breh.....

the pistons used to have rodman guard jordan...think about that for a second

There's a few issues with this -

i) Rodman could only guard big men in the post during his Chicago days (and even then he only did it when he felt like it) - he didn't guard wings or perimeter players - as not only did he no longer have the lateral quickness but he didn't stray to far away from the hoop so he could grab rebounds
ii) Jordan didn't have much trouble scoring on Rodman - Dumars was always the best defender on him. Not only that but those Bad Boys Pistons teams used to double Jordan all the time. Rodman never really guarded Jordan by himself.
See -

Rodman NEVER gave Jordan fits - that's a blatant lie. Someone actually did a review of Rodman's defense on Jordan a few years ago (on another board), and Jordan had like 20+ made FGs with Rodman as the primary defender and only missed a handful of shots with Rodman guarding him during the 89 Playoffs. Dumars was always the best defender on Jordan on those Pistons squads.

man.. the 90's was about DOMINANCE...

the era of the super players..

execution became a BIG thing with the spurs really

not saying their was no execution.. but if you grew up in the 90's you know the biggest thing about the nba back then was hero ball

Even though MJ and Bulls got 6 rings executing probably the most known philosophy since the "4 Corners".....the triangle????

Yea but they won the last chips on defense.. Well the last with rodman

This is why I said rodman would get it.. The defense wouldn't be as effective... Heck.. I think Phil would send pippen to defend green

And those triangles were successful due to Jordan, pippen or shaq and Kobe no?

Very dominant players

 

[GoonbergScandal]

Rodman didn't think Horry was gonna make that shot. Horry was still an unknown player in back 1995 and his game wasn't yet fully on the scouting report back in the early to mid 90s.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

the fact that they almost lost to the bucks again is telling.

Like this fukker doesn't seem to realize he was killing teams while being a 6'6" forward, which happens to be the same height as Draymond Green(who is shytting on just about everybody as well) and Rodman himself was only 6'7". He was stout and bulky, but he was still "small" in terms of height. Draymond is no scorer, obviously, but the guy can do just about everything else on the court and does add a streaky three point shot to the mix.

And I don't even think these Warriors would take those Bulls, but he actually brought up "who would guard dennis rodman". Guy has the audacity to ask who is going to stop a guy that averaged 5.5 PPG during his stint with Chicago and I refuse to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was talking about keeping him off the glass as he's always a moron in situations like this.

The bit at the end is just icing on the cake as we all know what a hypocrite he loves to be.

theres something personal with the warriors and charles

i think it goes back to the nellie days

Waste time arguing with clowns, brehs.

 

[G-Zeus]

Prime Charles Barkley was a lot better than Draymond Green though.

Yes

People fail to see ibwasnt talking about individual skills but match ups
