Dennis Rodman Last Game vs. Barkley & Pippen

The Lakers added a veteran this week, but he's not just any veteran. Dennis Rodman debuted here Friday against the Clippers with 11 rebounds and six assists. The addition of Dennis Rodman has had a calming effect on this Lakers team, well, if not calming it, certainly. He has given her a boost of confidence. There is a lot of confusion at first. Is Dennis coming? Won't he come? What coach do we have? But everything seems to be fixed. This team is a very happy team. Now let's go, thank you very much. We are back. With the starting lineups and the start of the big western tournament in just a moment, the lakers are getting ready, so we,

rodman

, like bartley, will not start today, we will play a lot, he will come off the bench and back off, and here he comes . robin and also his high number of turnovers reduced his attempts to 13-12. harrington guarded by

rodman

puts it in and shaq approaches to block it team they have on the court when

barkley

enters you will see more of a half court

game

a three second violation against the lakers kobe and eddie jones cut like that and get to the basket pippin takes it to the hole and commits an offensive foul when rodman set up and took contact one of his signature doubles

barkley

will try to find the open man shaq is out shawn looks in and rodman fouls barclay there he was There is a lot of talk about why he uses the number 73 and the reason is that seven is for the seven rebounding titles, three is for the three NBA championships in Chicago, seven plus three is ten, his old number in Detroit and 73 the other way around, is his age, 37 . and the hairstyle is a tribute to the purple and gold of the Lakers, although at first glance you could mistake it for some type of marine camouflage motif.

He muscles it and turns it for him. Rodman gets his first rebound of this

game

from Barkley Can. They don't finish it, a well-executed play, but they don't get the reward. A lot of times Barkley loves to drop back and shoot a three. There he is, but he is short. An aerial ball caught by Rodman's defense. There is no double team. Rodman played it alone. Antoine Carr going straight to work against Rodman, gets the role and beats anyone, then Rodman with a nice pass to the towers at this point Elijah wants to go crazy offensively, that could have gone down but Rodman a little overzealous came in to the hoop and they rejected it. two fouls in the key maybe you can take him out of the game with shaq in and out to draw on downs three rockets with numbers bryce draw rodman goes in there grabs the rebound and harrington fouls him from behind now o' Neil is on top of him and Rodman blocked the pass, but Harrington recovered it.

Well, Kobe did a good job early, but then remember he came to the line against Dory Rothman trying to get the crowd excited. Mrs. Pippen, Rodman applauded, it's a foul by Houston. here's barkley three seconds to shoot fisher misses rodman chases him great hustle play there by rodman again the intangibles he brings some people just know where the ball is going to be great energy good hands give his team another possession rodman barkley and a whistle is rodman his second but then he misses yes, lack of rebound and it's against the rockets, give his team a little protection, how winning has he been?

Michael Jordan, the other two, Scottie Pippen and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, one of the two prices. lost it but miller picks it up and barkley cleans up the mess discouraging for rudy t and the team with steve smith out, they laid an egg and the hawks win and defeat him barkley rodman made him trade him and misses him a lot now he's losing weight Kobe's score has gone from 27-28 per game at around 16. Miss the boat driving Fox. Rodman stepped up to take the charge. It seemed like in the air Scotty jumped around him. There's the smart play you talked about.

Kobe and Fox. for three the rebound barkley against rodman misses over mobley on the move

last

touch by rodney

dennis

defending his case without success triples in the second half opened the game that is the script today also barclay whistle before the shot long season 50 games in 90 days in a dominated rocklin well he's reaching the foul line the game is a 12 point game four minutes left to see pippin come and prepare to give his body to try to take the charge if the way to the final In the west it goes through Utah and we are going to have to beat the people of Utah.

They have Travis Knight. They have four guys who could pitch against him. Rodman styles a bit as he takes the rebound. A little karate kick on the rebound from Rodman wants him to shoot. he forces them but misses he goes for the three point shot now normally in Los Angeles with a 13 point lead the crowd would have left right now they are waiting to see what rodman is going to do even michael jordan is left with a little smile absolutely frozen jack from rodman stay here so I'm here with tennis right now

dennis

there is so much hype, so much hype with you coming to this team about you being the answer you guys should go straight to the championship now do you feel anything? pressure with all that on your shoulder, I think the

last

time I felt fresh when I got married, uh, that's another story, but I don't feel any pressure, you know, everyone in this world knows what I can do and what I can contribute. a team, I bring a place and I bring a lot of enthusiasm and this team needs something right now, they need some leadership and I thought I would never say that, but you know, I'm on a different team with good young guys.

Yeah, but you know you lead in your own way, but you've played on some great basketball teams. When you look around at this team, does this team have the potential to win NBA championships? Well, just to keep these guys focused, stay focused every day. and go out and do whatever it takes to win, no matter who the designated school is, no matter who the hero is that day, just go out and work together, work as a team and you will be the leader in that area, well you know I'm going . out there and I'm going to do what I do, I'm going to play against the biggest guys, the toughest guys, you see people doing it every day, uh, you know, I hope it's over.

How's your conditioning? You haven't played much. All the time, how's your conditioning? This is really good right now. I have a couple of games under my belt. Just the fact that I have to let you know my legs to work with me to the extent that I can rebound things like that, that's the biggest mistake. About you, they think Dennis Rodman is just a part of it, he doesn't need it to take care of his body, but you're probably one of the best tuned athletes I've ever met. Yes, I'm always in the gym every day. a day about two hours a day and it doesn't matter if I go out and have a good time, I know you have to go out and work first and then, you know, organize your events today, okay, it's good to see you. man good luck to you i wanna say hello to my wife um patrick hope your grandma is feeling okay and we're with you baby okay okay dennis back to you bob and a confusing final note thrown in there by Dennis I.

I'll let you guys untangle it.
