  • Jordan always said Scottie and Rodman helped him. He never claimed to be the solo act.
  • @KeepIt1HuniTT
    🤣😂🤣😂 Dennis Rodman was a master at mind games. Man it is so good to see Shawn Kemp giving an interview. For those that don't know, this is Shawn "The Reign Man" Kemp. This dude was a monster and executed a reign of terror in the NBA. I'm glad he's in front of the camera sharing with us. Definitely should be in the Hall Of Fame.
  • @coolmoe3289
    Gary Payton: "I Was Banging On Mike" I Can Hear The Jordan Laugh Right NOW.. 😂🤣😂🤣
  • Dennis doesn’t get enough respect for just how mentally draining he was towards players. You cannot plan for a player like him. Without him there would have been no three peat. Out of Chicago’s 6 championships the 2nd 3 peat was 5 times better than the 1st because of Rodman. Please look at the total picture of Rodman’s effect on all the games he played with Chicago during those 3 years. His hustle, mental strength, rebounding and defensive was unmatched for every team they faced. You knew what to expect from Jordan and the others but Rodman was a different beast.

    This was the funniest "All The Smoke" I have ever seen. I am so grateful YouTube gives this type of platform for the real stories to come out. Nothing water down. This story has been in the vault since 1996. This is something you hear when you are friends with super stars like yourselves. Shawn Kemp was an incredible player to watch growing up. Glad you had him on the show.
  • @RichGannon12
    That dunk Kemp did on Rodman in that 96 finals game 4 priceless 😂
  • @darylcarr8748
    Rodman was HUGE in the series and that 2nd 3peat period
  • @chrisgoat6435
    There is a reason Jordan once told Phil, we need Rodman and his 20 rebounds..........
  • @broncoramfan
    Rodman owns a major amount of property in former nba players head... the fact that Frank Brickowski didn't murder Rodman on national tv still amazes me
  • @locdorx
    I am glad this is brought up. Rodman is so underrated. People don't realize that Roadman is the only one who can guard Shaquille O'Neil. He was able to push back and frustrate him
  • @joeymoore1258
    I remember when I lived in Seattle as a kid kemp showed up to Garfield community center dressed up as Santa clause and when I sat on his lap he asked me who was my favorite player and I told him Allen iverson
  • MJ averaged 30.7 points per game and Rodman averaged 13.7 rebounds per game during the 1996 NBA Playoffs. Scottie had a decent postseason with 16.9 points per game.
  • That finals game 6 back in Chicago against the Sonics Rodman was a beast he had double digits in rebounds and about 7 or 8 of those were offensive...unreal!
  • @TDCatcher
    I remember saying that Rodman was the MVP of that series. Mike was Mike but Rodman was special in that series.
  • @bradwade5331
    Just last week I was telling my son(17) about Shawn Kemp and how good he was ,the best power dunker of all time and its great to hear from him.
  • @R__K
    Shawn Kemp is the Charlie Murphy of NBA stories. 😂
  • @danwesson1934
    Pippen in prime, guarding Kobe would have been interesting.
  • @BwAaS
    Shawn Kemp in his prime. The most electric player I ever saw! He did stuff you did not think was possible. I'm a lifelong Lakers fan, But there was a couple years there where Kemp, Shremp, and Payton were alot of fun to watch.
