Michael Jordan praises Dennis Rodman in 'The Last Dance': 'He had no limits'


Last week, Michael Jordan gave plenty of props to teammate Scottie Pippen in the first two episodes of "The Last Dance."

This week, it was Dennis Rodman's turn to receive praises from His Airness.

"The Worm" joined the Chicago Bulls in 1995 when the dynasty was at the beginning of their quest for another three-peat.

"Dennis is one of the smartest guys I played with," Jordan said. "He understood defensive strategy with all the rotations and he had no limits in terms of what he does."

Rodman is a seven-time NBA rebounding champion, two-time Defensive Player of the Year, and seven-time All-Defensive First Team.

He also had a reputation as a bad boy, but the Zen Master himself could not deny his impact on the court especially when the team was missing Pippen due to injury.

"Dennis is what held us together when Scottie was out," said Phil Jackson about the forward. "He had to really focus to make us as competitive as we were. We adapt, and we adapt quickly, and we’re off and running."

"The Last Dance" is a 10-part documentary series featuring the Chicago Bulls in their sixth and final championship in the Jordan years.

It was originally scheduled to be released in June, but ESPN moved up the release date following the suspension of the NBA games due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Episodes 5 and 6 will be released on Sunday, May 3 (US time). —MGP, GMA News
