?Dennis Rodman Came in My Dream Last Night?: Ex-Warriors Star Credited the Bulls Legend for Improved Performance in 2018

One of the players behind the Warriors’ 2018 championship win once stated that NBA legend Dennis Rodman helped him to improve his performance during a crucial playoffs series. However, the conversation actually didn’t take place between them. According to the then-Warriors star, it all happened in his dream. Fans might be surprised after knowing how Rodman’s advice improved his performance overnight.

The ex-Warriors star is none other than former NBA player Nick Young. The 37-year-old was one of the better role players on the Warriors’ championship squad. However, he was not so promising when it came to helping his team defensively. But things changed quickly after he received advice from the two-time Defensive Player of the Year in his dream.

Nick Young on how Dennis Rodman advised him in his dream

In Game 4 of the 2018 Western Conference Finals, the Houston Rockets outscored the Warriors by 14 points when Young was present on the court. Due to his poor performance on the defensive end, he got to play only one minute in the next game of the Playoffs. However, Swaggy P made a comeback in Game 6 and performed well defensively. This time, the Warriors outscored the Rockets by nine points in the 6’7 veteran’s presence.

In the post-game press conference of Game 6, Young credited Dennis the Menace for helping him to improve his defense. Not only that, he narrated the whole story of how the five-time champion advised him everything in his dream. He said, “Dennis Rodman came in my dream last night, and I was wondering why he came in my dream. He had the purple hair, all kinds of stuff.”

Moreover, Young added, “He told me, ‘Tomorrow you’re going to play a little defense,’ and I was like, ‘Nah that’s not my game, Dennis Rodman, why you in my dream?’? The 6’7 veteran finished off by saying, he played well defensively only because of Dennis the Menace’s advice and inspiration.
