When Larry Bird Schooled Dennis Rodman đ„
this is when Larry Bird schooled Dennis Rodman on April 1st 1988 Larry Bird put on a clinic against Dennis Rodman one of the most relentless defenders the NBA has ever seen while the Detroit Pistons were known for their aggressive physical defense Bird approached the game with surgical precision targeting Rodman from the opening tip this wasn’t just bird scoring it was bird teaching over and over he baited Rodman into biting on pump fakes backed him down with calm confidence and hit fadeaways right in his face rodman usually the one getting under people’s skin found himself on the receiving end of a basketball masterass rodman tried everything pressuring full court bodying up switching angles but Bird’s footwork and timing made it all useless on several possessions Bird isolated Rodman dribbled just enough to keep him guessing and then rose up for clean highrelease jumpers you could see the frustration build in Rodman’s body language his hustle was there but Bird was two steps ahead even when Rodman managed to stay in front Bird used subtle shifts and faints to create just enough space to score
In 1988 Celtic’s Legend Larry Bird took Dennis Rodman to SCHOOL. Showing great defense will never beat better offense.
