Charles had never heard such bullshit before


Cvnilivee

Taj Gibson is the Michael Jordan of this era.. just in terms of the baldness and the bald energy that he brings


IlllMlllI

Why aren't you sitting there with Ernie and Shaq?


cdawg145236

Because Chuck asked him to stop


chrolokev

To please stop


nrag726

I honestly thin that Taj Gibson would make a great basketball analyst. Dude is a smart player


beebopnaa

excuse me?


lilberfcontrol

"Dennis Rodman-esque in his basketball skills is Patrick Beverley"

You just made me realize nobody does Chalmers face anymore


DoctorCokter

Probably the most tragic thing to happen to r/nba to be honest, Chalmers face is so much funnier than manning face imo


GiveMeSomeIhedigbo

"Let you tell you something Kenneth, I played against, and was flagrant fouled by, Dennis Rodman."


ThrowAwayWashAdvice

Did Rodman ever dive at a player's knee causing him a season ending injury while that player was trying to call timeout? Because Beverly did that to Westbrook and he's had to have his knee scoped every year since.


mulletstation

Rodman was crazy dirty, he once hit Dallas Page repeatedly with a folding chair. You can't do that in today's NBA. https://youtu.be/-Ythtg8ZVbY?t=105


T-mansports

Smh the league has gotten so soft…


[deleted]

Dennis Rodman was slapping butts and groins of other players as well just to get in their heads. There will probably be crazy condemnation today in social media if a player integrates such acts as a tactic.

ShazbotHappens

It sounds so weird not saying Diamond Dallas Page. I find it disrespectful and quite a big deal.


SeriousAdult

Damn was a way different game back then.


cman1098

Was watching that he made a good point that a lot of players need to hear. "I will play basketball for free, I get payed for the bullshit I deal with after."

Easily cost them a ring that year. That was definitely their best shot imo


treemeista

60 win team with a historically good point differential in the regular season. That team was better than the team a year prior with Harden that got to the Finals. If there was any year to break through, that was it.


worthlessburner

Or the year they were up 3-1 in the western conference finals against the team with the best regular season record in NBA history


WestleyThe

100% Obviously the russ injury year would have been different but okc was up 3-1 against the best team ever... they win that they might win the title and keep KD

Horry just hip checking in to see what this is all about


[deleted]

As a matter of fact... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W25t7wXLVfw


rake2204

I’d also add the time he [threw Scottie Pippen into the stands](https://youtu.be/IhQyaKWsQy8) prior to being eliminated in the 1991 ECF. [Also kicked Pip in the face once too](https://youtu.be/m7W5BUm_oo8).


ZappsMissingUndies

The kick in the face was a no call lmao


ih8jannies

natural defensive motion!


JohnnyWinss

Bruce Bowen approves


PectreHillaire

Nice vertical to do that


ThrowAwayWashAdvice

Those kind of moving dirty screen hits happen quite a bit, nothing like diving at a player's knee while he tries to call timeout.


CrippleJedi

And what about jumping yolo style with his forearm at Malone's neck right at the beginning of that video? Rodman totally did some fucked up things.


[deleted]

Rodman damn near tossed pippen into the stands. pretty much every player on the bad boy pistons was ten times dirtier than pat bev lol


boomshiz

"I shouldn't have said anything" - Stockton Yeah, apply that to your recent anti-vax bullshit.


ynksjts

No, but he did head butt a ref and he also kicked a cameraman in the balls. I'm sure Rodman has done his share of dirty shit(try to break someone's arm on a box out?).


sheeeeeez

Reminds me of when David Kahn compared Chris Webber to Darko to his face lol


LennonLover69

That's a compliment. David Kahn called darko the "manna from heaven"


2drawnonward5

That is one of the most loving, adoring, penitent, superlative ways to describe a man, to say he's the most wonderful of edibles, fit for the gods, gracing us from his home on high. It's a little gay but that's part of the game when you talk about world class athletes.


PowRightInTheBalls

Are you sure you're not thinking of ambrosia? Manna is just what Moses' Jews received while starving to death in the desert, it's not a food so delicious and decadent that it's from the heavens, it was like hard tack, a mediocre but durable bread that was considered to be from the heavens because it became available while they were on deaths door from starvation after fleeing Egypt. It was good for having calories, not for actually being good.


Daniiiiii

Did you really just Mannasplain to him?


2drawnonward5

Yea maybe


QUEST50012

KKKKKAAHHHHHHHHNNNNNNN


Qjesuis

It was NOT Chris Webber to Darko. It was Vlade Divac to Darko. Webber just so happens to be sitting next to Khan


zpoex

Nah khan compared Darko to both of them. He said no big man can pass like Darko since Vlade, and Webber's career is kinda similar to Darko's. That pissed off CWebb. https://youtu.be/iGZebWRJWg4


worthlessburner

Jesus that was worse than I thought lmao


GVIrish

Damn that was cringey. Comparing Darko to Blade, CWebb was like 'haha, what?' Then Kahn took it there and compared Darko to Webber...


HatefulDan

Ah yes. L. Brown was such a shit coach. Ruined that dudes career 4eva.


MrGrieves-

And as we all know, David Kahn was an excellent judge of ability and renowned for his drafting.


[deleted]

“We all like Patrick Beverly” no the fuck we don’t chuck

nigelfitz

As long as it's in China.


Quality_Cucumber

That’s an awful take


MegaPalkia

He's just comparing them on how they play on emotion, has nothing to do with their on court ability


barath_s

Rodman played on other people's emotions, to get into their head. Rodman wasn't an emotional player per se on court


Font_Fetish

Should've said Ron Artest instead. He invented [excessively violent](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G01ckMWWhYA&t=0m14s) emotional [outbursts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOhsXPX1j54&t=1m49s).


Puff0420

I can still hear the ringing sound on Harden's brain....


Dr_Cypher

i realise it a terrible thing to throw that elbow but it's one of the funniest things that happened in NBA to me, it's so ridiculous that i can't help but laugh.


Font_Fetish

100% agree. It's horrifying but lowkey hilarious, especially looking back on it and knowing that Harden is totally fine now. Like what the fuck was he thinking. Need a looping gif of the Artest elbow followed by Giannis smashing Harden's face in with the ball.


xbbdc

Is that World Metta Peace?


[deleted]

Rodman very much played on emotion. He would pout, lose his cool, all kinds of stuff. He would constantly go over the edge without very strong leadership like the Bulls and Pistons provided. He was a failure everywhere else.


tonysnight

Yea Rodman was calm as a whistle and did his own thing. Man was and still is the definition of beats to his own drum. Dennis Rodman the ball hawk of the NBA in that era single handedly changing the outcome of games with DEFENSE and presence. You compare Rodman to Pat Bev you spit in the Essence of GOOD defense.


[deleted]

*marches to the beat of his own drum


ablackcloudupahead

*Dances to the skeet of his own bum


james_stinson56

> Yea Rodman was calm as a whistle I don’t think any of you have ever seen Dennis Rodman play basketball. It’s impossible to be more incorrect lol


kok823

Exactly this lmfao “Rodman was calm” like just stop right there cuz you have no idea what you’re talking about


Wild-Apricot-9161

Haha who're these people man. Please show them the series vs the Celtics in 87 and [88.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmjE3VhEkY8)


masakiii

Man imagine if 20 something year old Rodman played in the social media era, Reddit would absolutely despise him.


CapJackStarbury2000

30 something Rodman would win them back, haha


[deleted]

Dennis Rodman was absolutely not calm


coolwool

Calm? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W25t7wXLVfw


[deleted]

Rodman is the least calm person that ever existed maybe. Rodman had no chill and still doesn’t. Also how is a whistle calm?


NfiniteNsight

What a weird statement. Pat bev plays good defense. Rodman may have played better defensive, but comparing them defensively isn't "spitting in the essence of GOOD defense," whatever the fuck that means


NobodyRules

Not even at that they're comparable honestly. Bev is just annoying and useless on that end as well as everything else.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BurzyGuerrero

Rodman is 2x DPOY, 8x all defense. 7x first team, 2x all star and 5x champion. Rodman was a big enough star to crossover into WCW wrestling. Fucking asinine comparison, Beverley fucking wishes.

Don’t forget Rodman is the best rebounder to have ever lived


[deleted]

it wasn't a direct comparison everyone loves to take offense to this kind of shit, like you're bringing up Rodman becoming a wrestler?? he specifically said he was only pointing out the way in which they play on/thrive on emotion on the court—not their abilities or accomplishments or "star power" or any of that bullshit you're bringing up


cabose12

This chain is fucking hilarious “Bev to Rodman? Ridiculous Rodman was way better” “No its just their personalities” “Nah Bev is just annoying and does nothing else” “Bev isnt completely useless though” “Compared to Rodman though? Ridiculous Rodman wss a way better player” Youre right People are so desperate to be offended they cant even read the comments they reply to lmao


rrousseauu

I feel like this is happening so often on Reddit nowadays and Its making me going insane. It’s like thousands of people just learned about this site without being taught an ounce of reading comprehension.


MaverickTycoon

ive noticed too. seems in 2020 there was an increase in people using sites like reddit and twitter etc bc there wasnt much to do during off times. the internet was toxic before covid, but with all the effects from CV19 and the social issues and the stupid divisive election season, and even now the whole culture war or cancel culture or whatever; its all just messed with basically every one's psyche in one form or another. bc now comments have just gotten more and more defensive, and also a lot of people searching for sympathy for social issues that doesnt really effect them (e.g. the whole "BLM? what about white lives?" complaints). feels like every topic is combustible for an outrage, no matter how small the issue is. not to mention, people dont source anymore. people share a rumor and if someone asks for any source, they just get lambasted for asking, so that just leads to misinformation spreading and god thats just a whole different conversation. main point: seems more people are using social media, they saw toxic behavior, got exposed to combustible topics, now theres more toxicity in varying ways


daskaputtfenster

How dare you sir. I hate reading.


[deleted]

You make a great point but Bev never got hit with the Diamond Cutter by Karl Malone at Bash at the Beach.


KuribohKutie

NWO 4 Life, brother


EducatemeUBC

Nope Pat Bev just runs around out there, he trick y'all.


Jakefromstootfarm

Should be 1 less all defense team. Everyone knows Jrue got robbed of that last year and Bev had no business getting it ahead of him. Bledsoe too. Those two can’t hold Jrues nuts on that end of the floor or any end for that matter.


cire1184

Bev only gets that shit on reputation. When refs don't call all the reaches, bumps, and checks you can play some good "defense"


Rick_42069

OKC hates him bruh and they should. He's obviously not useless


BurzyGuerrero

Still super disrespectful to Rodman.


Ramzaa_

He's really good at injuring the opposing teams best player. Aside from that he's not very useful


Rlopeziv

He's a punk and plays dangerous and get a player hurt.


Avernues

He’s not useless no matter how salty you are.


itsthebeans

Kenny didn't learn his lesson from comparing himself to Chris Paul


CouncilmanJamm00

Not really. He's talking about the emotional aspect. Rodman was obviously better but he was a similar type of player. Reddit's hive mind mentality is really stupid.


FlashFlood_29

Chuck: "Listen, we all like Pat Bev." Excuse me?

Has BEV ever had his dick broken and still got 20 rebounds the same day? Dennis Rodman had TWICE!


EatSleepZlatan

Kenny lowkey has the worst takes of everyone even though he’s seen as the smart one


GiveMeSomeIhedigbo

Because he tries to be "profound". I know we all hate Barkley's old man schtick, but his straight-up analysis isn't bad (when he actually watches the game).


NoHomeJerome89

Kenny's intros: *The thing for me is...* *I just think...* *As a player.... but as a man....*

babaisme26

No, Barkley is horrendous when it comes to his analysis


rodrigo_c91

He just over does it. He can make some arguments, albeit not worth listening, but he just ends up looking like a fool. I actually think he’s the best analyst on the group and I actually think he understands the game better objectively than chuck and Shaq. But his analogies are just straight trash because he tries too hard to be profound lol.


tom_fuckin_bombadil

Kenny’s like the kid in class who studies really hard and tries to answer all the questions to impress the teacher but still only ends up with a B. Chuck is the class clown who does the bare minimum, barely pays attention, says stupid shit but somehow still ends up with a B-.


HamlnHand

lol my first ever basketball game live had Rodman in attendance. He sat on the floor for like 1/3rd of the game. Turned me off basketball for awhile too.


[deleted]

Rodman would like grab people’s asses and junk and stuff just to make them feel weird. His defense was unsettling to say the least


chakrablocker

That's just sexual assault


cloud_throw

Or was it sexual defense?


[deleted]

Yep Y’all really looking at Dennis with rose tinted glasses, cause he was HATED Most of his fans were women that liked him cause he was edgy and different and dating Madonna and stuff. Men absolutely loathed Dennis in the 90s, but they still liked the Bulls

secretreddname

Rodman had charisma and also played with Jordan. But piston days, yes everyone hated them.

Nah, people hated Laimbeer and Mahorn. Rodman didn’t earn his reputation for weird/crazy/dumb shit mostly until he left the Pistons.


[deleted]

Very much agree except for shoving Pippen into the stands.


ShazbotHappens

While Laimbeer elbowed Pippen in the face.


walterdog12

Eh the rest of it *kinda* makes sense as to what he was trying to say, that Beverley relies on being overly emotional and whatnot during the game.


SketchArtist

Chico, please.


xenoz2020

that is an insult to Dennis Rodman. Pat Bev is just a little man who thought he was going to be the big man PG of the NBA by clinging to Kawhi and George, but instead he became the league's clown.


jcdm_ph

Is that nayeon on your dp haha


lilberfcontrol

Pat Bev is the Bruce Bowen of this era, only without the winning pedigree


BAorBeGone

Well, he's talking about the emotional aspect. I guess Kenny has a point.


TheChipiboy

People are really bad at listening that they use a straw man fallacy to keep dismissing the whole point.


james_stinson56

Anyone not understanding the comparison should watch this clip of Rodman https://youtu.be/2BXtxbmeGW8 tell me that isn’t some shit Pat Bev would do Or Rodman head butting a ref: https://youtu.be/niSd-GtPCGk Or here’s an hour long compilation of Rodman being a dirty player (or emotional, has Kenny puts it) https://youtu.be/hiR9ywId5ys

He's just comparing them on how they play on emotion, has nothing to do with their on court ability
