Dennis Rodman Once Left Fans Baffled With His New Shooting Form, Shaquille O’Neal Shares Footage

There are some players who have a fearful reputation because of their style of play. The opposing teams get worried. They make a plan to overcome one specific person, how to beat him, how to get past him, and how to deal with him. Dennis Rodman was one such player and there are very few who fit the bill. He was credited with nicknames like Dennis the Menace, Psycho, Rodzilla, Demolition Man. The names only suggest what kind of player he was.

He was one of the most solid and dangerous players to play against. The NBA world feared him and his ‘Bad Boys Piston’ team. In the late 80s, they won two consecutive NBA championships. Rodman was one of the main protagonists. His physicality and strength were something special.

Rodman’s hustle to make impact, get defensive blocks, steals, keep the ball in play, and absolute bossing rebounds were something just to wow about. His passion and intensity were always on 100. He used that energy in absolutely every game. While he had many strengths, free throws probably weren’t his strongest suit. Rodman had a 58.4% free throw percentage just a touch more than Shaquille O’Neal who had a career free throw percentage of 52.7.
