1
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:20,379
I could have been a bomb,
2
00:00:20,437 --> 00:00:22,397
I could have been in jail,
I could have been dead.
3
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,524
But I worked my ass off to get here.
4
00:00:33,033 --> 00:00:35,368
You hear a lot of negative things
about Dennis Rodman.
5
00:00:35,827 --> 00:00:37,746
Well, people don't actually know
Dennis Rodman.
6
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:40,707
They just see what they see on the court
and read in the papers,
7
00:00:40,790 --> 00:00:42,792
and they say, "God, he's a bad person."
8
00:00:44,419 --> 00:00:46,880
Does it hurt you
that the public perceives you
9
00:00:46,963 --> 00:00:49,215
as this bombastic, crazy guy?
10
00:00:50,258 --> 00:00:53,094
No, I just think that
I created this monster.
11
00:00:56,097 --> 00:01:00,018
But, uh, nobody could say anything bad
about me as a teammate.
12
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:03,104
You got the great Michael Jordan,
13
00:01:03,188 --> 00:01:05,315
the great Scottie Pippen,
the great Phil Jackson,
14
00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:10,278
but if you take me away from this team,
do they still win a championship?
15
00:01:11,946 --> 00:01:13,114
I don't think so.
16
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,745
I love Michael Jordan to death.
I love Scottie Pippen, all these guys,
17
00:01:18,828 --> 00:01:21,372
but they really don't do the things
that I do.
18
00:01:25,543 --> 00:01:27,629
I'm the only guy
who does all the dirty work,
19
00:01:27,712 --> 00:01:29,339
taking abuse from other players.
20
00:01:31,174 --> 00:01:33,843
I wanna go out there
and get my nose broke, I wanna get cut.
21
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:37,722
Something that's gonna really
just bring out the...
22
00:01:38,598 --> 00:01:40,642
the hurt, the pain.
23
00:01:41,518 --> 00:01:42,644
I wanna feel that.
24
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:47,774
A spectacular move!
25
00:01:47,857 --> 00:01:49,442
The game's over!
26
00:01:49,526 --> 00:01:51,861
Chicago Stadium is going wild!
27
00:01:53,822 --> 00:01:56,324
First of all,
there's no backstabbing going on here.
28
00:01:56,407 --> 00:01:57,283
It's time for me to move on.
29
00:01:57,367 --> 00:01:59,767
This will be Phil's last year
as coach of the Bulls.
30
00:02:02,372 --> 00:02:04,934
- Are the expectations too high?
- Where do we go from here?
31
00:02:04,958 --> 00:02:07,460
The only question: how long can it last?
32
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:27,272
They still might be considered
world champs, but so far this season,
33
00:02:27,355 --> 00:02:30,608
the Chicago Bulls have looked more like
that old circus act from the '80s
34
00:02:30,692 --> 00:02:33,111
called "Michael and his Jordanaires."
35
00:02:33,194 --> 00:02:36,406
They need help.
They're reeling, looking average.
36
00:02:36,906 --> 00:02:38,908
As for MJ's supporting cast,
37
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:41,286
Rodman is having trouble
getting out of the gate.
38
00:02:43,621 --> 00:02:47,167
Michael, are you tired
of talking about Pippen and all that yet?
39
00:02:47,250 --> 00:02:48,334
Pretty much.
40
00:02:49,335 --> 00:02:51,713
Until something happens,
until he says what he's gonna do,
41
00:02:51,796 --> 00:02:53,840
we have to continue on.
We gotta do our jobs.
42
00:02:57,218 --> 00:02:58,469
Let's go, fellas.
43
00:03:00,805 --> 00:03:03,805
First meeting with Michael
the player against Larry the coach.
44
00:03:03,850 --> 00:03:05,643
Bulls and Pacers.
45
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:08,897
Dennis Rodman, blocked by Dale Davis.
46
00:03:08,980 --> 00:03:10,106
Reggie Miller.
47
00:03:10,732 --> 00:03:13,401
Look at the crossover,
right past Jordan for the hoop.
48
00:03:13,484 --> 00:03:16,029
Phil Jackson, we've seen that look
before this year.
49
00:03:16,112 --> 00:03:18,823
Pacers go on to the win,
dropping the Bulls to 8-7.
50
00:03:18,907 --> 00:03:22,035
Last season, Chicago didn't lose
their seventh until game 56.
51
00:03:22,493 --> 00:03:23,953
We missed a lot of easy shots.
52
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:25,717
We haven't shot the ball
particularly well.
53
00:03:26,247 --> 00:03:28,917
But, uh, tonight what killed us
was our rebounding.
54
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,501
Our rebounding was horrendous.
55
00:03:31,085 --> 00:03:33,366
We couldn't get the rebound,
we couldn't clear the boards.
56
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,928
Dennis is kind of lagging
back there behind everybody else
57
00:03:40,011 --> 00:03:43,097
in, you know,
his enthusiasm for the game right now.
58
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:46,434
Dennis Rodman's the best on-ball defender
59
00:03:46,517 --> 00:03:49,479
I've ever seen in 30 years.
60
00:03:50,980 --> 00:03:55,944
The problem was that
he wasn't always motivated to play.
61
00:03:56,027 --> 00:03:58,446
It's another one of those periods
that I'm bored as hell.
62
00:03:58,529 --> 00:04:02,242
I gotta find some way
to put a log on the fire.
63
00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:07,247
...that's a low blow down here, right?
Intentional foul.
64
00:04:07,330 --> 00:04:08,581
I didn't see it that way.
65
00:04:09,415 --> 00:04:11,251
There's a lot of things I don't see.
66
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:17,757
Most of the time, though,
I see the shit you do.
67
00:04:21,970 --> 00:04:23,850
Dennis hadn't accepted
the role that...
68
00:04:24,722 --> 00:04:28,101
Scottie wasn't gonna be around
and we needed you to be more accountable.
69
00:04:28,184 --> 00:04:29,727
I need to count on you.
70
00:04:30,311 --> 00:04:35,358
So, around that time, we had a game,
and he gets kicked out for some shit.
71
00:04:36,484 --> 00:04:39,654
And I'm livid,
because he got kicked out of the game
72
00:04:39,737 --> 00:04:42,657
and leaves me out there by myself
'cause Scottie's not playing.
73
00:04:43,241 --> 00:04:45,994
And Dennis knew he fucked up.
He knew he screwed up.
74
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:50,456
I hear someone knocking on my door
at the hotel.
75
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,334
Now, Dennis never comes in my room,
76
00:04:53,418 --> 00:04:56,045
and he comes and says,
"Man, you got an extra cigar?"
77
00:04:56,838 --> 00:04:59,340
I went to Michael Jordan's room,
asked for a cigar, but...
78
00:04:59,757 --> 00:05:02,844
But I think that he knew the fact that...
79
00:05:03,386 --> 00:05:04,887
That's probably his way...
80
00:05:04,971 --> 00:05:08,683
Of me showing him that, you know,
"Man, my thing, my bad."
81
00:05:09,684 --> 00:05:11,853
He didn't say an apology,
he didn't say anything,
82
00:05:12,437 --> 00:05:13,813
but by him coming to my room,
83
00:05:13,896 --> 00:05:16,024
it was his way of saying,
"Look, I fucked up."
84
00:05:17,233 --> 00:05:20,236
And from that point on,
Dennis was straight as an arrow.
85
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,238
And we started to win.
86
00:05:22,322 --> 00:05:24,032
I'd like to ask y'all one question.
87
00:05:24,115 --> 00:05:26,451
- What time is it?
- Game time!
88
00:05:36,878 --> 00:05:40,298
When Scottie left, I think
Mike had a lot of confidence in me
89
00:05:40,381 --> 00:05:42,467
to know that I'm gonna be there for him.
90
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:45,178
I'm not going to let him down,
I'm not going to let the team down,
91
00:05:45,261 --> 00:05:46,846
let the city down. No.
92
00:05:48,973 --> 00:05:51,768
Rodman clears
the defensive board for the Bulls.
93
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:58,107
Nets gave it a whirl,
but just did not have enough.
94
00:05:58,191 --> 00:06:03,905
The defending champion Chicago Bulls
knocked off the New Jersey Nets 100 to 92.
95
00:06:03,988 --> 00:06:06,699
Dennis is what held us together
when Scottie was out.
96
00:06:07,325 --> 00:06:10,995
He had to really focus to make us
as competitive as we were.
97
00:06:11,954 --> 00:06:15,666
We adapt and we adapt quickly,
and we're off and running.
98
00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:18,920
Rodman,
battling for the rebound, saving it in!
99
00:06:19,003 --> 00:06:21,047
And Kerr snatches it out of the air,
100
00:06:21,589 --> 00:06:22,589
and drills it!
101
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:25,176
Now that's...
that's winning basketball.
102
00:06:25,259 --> 00:06:30,056
Those are the plays that Dennis Rodman
does to make his team great.
103
00:06:30,681 --> 00:06:31,682
Awesome.
104
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:47,073
As a black kid
living in the projects,
105
00:06:47,156 --> 00:06:49,992
life was really fucking nuts,
right, it was like... Whoa!
106
00:06:52,703 --> 00:06:54,747
My mother drove buses for the school.
107
00:06:55,248 --> 00:06:58,835
She got sick and tired of my ass
not providing, not doing anything.
108
00:06:58,918 --> 00:07:02,046
And, I think... What was I, 18?
109
00:07:02,588 --> 00:07:04,382
She just got tired of me
and kicked me out
110
00:07:04,465 --> 00:07:06,384
so I lived in the street for two years.
111
00:07:08,177 --> 00:07:10,972
I was just trying to bounce around,
see where I could stay at.
112
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:14,851
People's backyards, my friends' backyards,
stuff like that.
113
00:07:14,934 --> 00:07:16,978
I could've been a drug dealer,
I could've been dead,
114
00:07:17,061 --> 00:07:19,188
I could've been...
Shit, anything at that time.
115
00:07:20,106 --> 00:07:23,317
I don't know why I never did
that drug stuff, but I never did.
116
00:07:23,860 --> 00:07:27,280
I'd just sit there and watch 'em do it,
watch 'em sell it, stuff like that,
117
00:07:27,363 --> 00:07:29,782
and I walk out the door every day,
go to the gym.
118
00:07:29,866 --> 00:07:32,160
Come back, do the same thing every day.
119
00:07:32,243 --> 00:07:35,663
I was just fortunate to start picking up
a basketball and start playing.
120
00:07:37,748 --> 00:07:39,542
And I just got lucky that
121
00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:42,336
some guy from some college said,
"Dennis, you wanna play for us?"
122
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:43,796
I was like, "All right, great."
123
00:07:45,798 --> 00:07:49,677
I went balls-out every time. I don't know.
I just know how to go full speed.
124
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,391
So, when I was in college, I averaged,
like, 27 points, 14, 15, rebounds a game.
125
00:08:00,438 --> 00:08:05,568
I'm trying to get through school,
try to get a degree and things,
126
00:08:06,110 --> 00:08:11,240
and whatever's... When I finish school,
I just hope for the best.
127
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:14,452
We had two other picks in the second round
that I'll give you quickly.
128
00:08:14,535 --> 00:08:16,913
Greg Dreiling went to Indiana,
the big center,
129
00:08:16,996 --> 00:08:20,500
and Dennis Rodman, the youngster
from Southeast Oklahoma State,
130
00:08:20,583 --> 00:08:24,045
went to Detroit
as the 27th pick in the 1986 draft.
131
00:08:25,129 --> 00:08:30,426
When he first came to Detroit,
he was just an innocent, beautiful person,
132
00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:33,888
but a little naive about, like, the world.
133
00:08:34,722 --> 00:08:37,016
He was simple at that time.
134
00:08:37,517 --> 00:08:39,727
He would say, "Man, you don't know life
135
00:08:39,810 --> 00:08:42,688
till you can just go out,
get away from everybody,
136
00:08:43,397 --> 00:08:47,443
make a fire, cook food outside,
and just look at the stars."
137
00:08:49,529 --> 00:08:51,729
I think the second
or third year in the league,
138
00:08:51,781 --> 00:08:55,868
I actually figured out what I can do best:
rebound and play defense.
139
00:08:55,952 --> 00:08:57,995
Barkley, with the drive...
140
00:08:58,079 --> 00:09:00,748
I just started
learning how to perfect that.
141
00:09:00,831 --> 00:09:02,959
Holy cow! How about that?
142
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:05,044
I used to have my friends late at night,
143
00:09:05,127 --> 00:09:08,881
shit, 3:00, 4:00 in the morning,
go to the gym. I said, "Shoot the ball."
144
00:09:08,965 --> 00:09:11,509
I said, "Shoot over here,
shoot over there..."
145
00:09:11,592 --> 00:09:13,886
I'd just sit there, react, react.
146
00:09:14,887 --> 00:09:18,391
I practiced a lot about the angle
of the ball and trajectory of it.
147
00:09:18,474 --> 00:09:22,395
You got a Larry Bird, it's gonna spin.
You got a Magic, it maybe spin.
148
00:09:22,478 --> 00:09:25,314
When Michael shoot over here,
I position myself right there.
149
00:09:25,398 --> 00:09:27,984
Now if it hit the rim, it's... Boom.
150
00:09:28,067 --> 00:09:30,444
Click and go back this way.
It going here and here.
151
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:31,696
Click, it going that way.
152
00:09:31,779 --> 00:09:32,822
Boom! That way.
153
00:09:32,905 --> 00:09:34,657
Click here and go this way.
154
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:38,119
So, basically, I started learning how to
put myself in a position to get the ball.
155
00:09:38,202 --> 00:09:40,663
Rebound,
kept alive by Rodman, and...
156
00:09:41,622 --> 00:09:44,750
I was pretty much like that rash
on players,
157
00:09:44,834 --> 00:09:47,003
that rash you can't
never get rid of, right?
158
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,177
Dennis Rodman was the fuck-up person.
He just fucks everything up.
159
00:09:55,970 --> 00:10:00,057
He's a pest.
Shutting down whoever he wanted to.
160
00:10:00,683 --> 00:10:02,059
It was always a challenge.
161
00:10:02,768 --> 00:10:07,023
He was one of them players that had
changed the game just by his presence.
162
00:10:08,065 --> 00:10:11,694
You talk about coach's dreams,
there aren't many players like him.
163
00:10:11,777 --> 00:10:15,573
Couldn't be a player I'm more proud of
and proud to be associated with.
164
00:10:15,656 --> 00:10:18,159
He had a great relationship
with Chuck Daly.
165
00:10:18,242 --> 00:10:21,078
Chuck was the only person
that understood him.
166
00:10:21,162 --> 00:10:22,455
Let's say your guy stops side,
167
00:10:22,538 --> 00:10:25,082
you're in here,
you're defense, lock him here.
168
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:27,918
I remember one time,
I was working with Dennis,
169
00:10:28,002 --> 00:10:31,714
and then Chuck called me over,
and he said, "Just leave him alone.
170
00:10:32,715 --> 00:10:34,800
You don't put a saddle on a mustang."
171
00:10:38,929 --> 00:10:41,932
Were you considered
a troublemaker on the court in college?
172
00:10:42,016 --> 00:10:44,977
- Did you have that reputation?
- No. I built that in Detroit.
173
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:46,646
There's no disputing that Detroit
174
00:10:46,729 --> 00:10:49,398
is one of the most physical teams
in the NBA,
175
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:51,359
and it's all part of their strategy
176
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,778
to take their opponents
out of their rhythm.
177
00:10:54,737 --> 00:10:57,740
The Detroit Pistons
were the epitome
178
00:10:57,823 --> 00:11:04,205
of the physical, tough,
hard-nosed brand of half-court basketball.
179
00:11:04,288 --> 00:11:11,253
They had big strong guys in Laimbeer,
Mahorn, Rodman, Salley.
180
00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:15,841
They had a great defensive player
in Joe Dumars, they had Isiah Thomas.
181
00:11:16,425 --> 00:11:19,637
Were they threatening
the safety of the league's top players?
182
00:11:20,930 --> 00:11:22,848
I don't think they cared.
183
00:11:24,850 --> 00:11:28,437
Wilkins gets knocked
to the deck, and wants Mahorn.
184
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:31,232
Rivers...
185
00:11:31,315 --> 00:11:34,276
Pushed hard. I mean,
he was driven to the floor.
186
00:11:35,027 --> 00:11:38,364
At that time, in the NBA,
you could do anything you want.
187
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:42,451
Compared to today,
30 years ago, shit.
188
00:11:42,535 --> 00:11:46,330
Back then, you could just sit there
and just literally beat people up
189
00:11:46,914 --> 00:11:49,667
and get away with it
without a technical or anything.
190
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:54,296
Dennis Rodman and Lohaus,
under the basket, going at it.
191
00:11:55,923 --> 00:11:58,634
We're like a hockey team,
everybody wanna see us fight.
192
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:01,303
Rick Mahorn taught me
how to elbow and said,
193
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:03,305
"If you hit somebody, do it on purpose.
194
00:12:03,806 --> 00:12:07,351
Don't get a cheap foul. That's stupid.
If you're gonna hit him, hit him."
195
00:12:07,435 --> 00:12:10,438
They acquired the moniker "The Bad Boys."
196
00:12:11,105 --> 00:12:16,277
They played a tough, intimidating style,
and a lot of people didn't like it
197
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,196
'cause it was getting away
from the beauty of basketball.
198
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,824
Bird and Laimbeer go at it.
199
00:12:21,907 --> 00:12:25,244
We weren't "the league's favorite."
We weren't the...
200
00:12:25,327 --> 00:12:29,915
We weren't the pretty team that had got
invited to the Lakers' and Celtics' party.
201
00:12:29,999 --> 00:12:34,170
When we showed up, it was almost like
we were crashing their party.
202
00:12:34,253 --> 00:12:37,214
This is the way the game of basketball
was played at the time.
203
00:12:37,298 --> 00:12:40,301
These guys on the other side
may not be as talented,
204
00:12:40,384 --> 00:12:42,136
but when you do come into Detroit,
205
00:12:42,928 --> 00:12:44,513
you gonna get your ass whooped.
206
00:12:44,597 --> 00:12:47,975
We got a fight.
Laimbeer and Daugherty going after it.
207
00:12:48,851 --> 00:12:51,228
We just basically...
"Okay, we're the bad boys."
208
00:12:51,312 --> 00:12:54,315
We started feeding into it.
Next thing you know, we starting to win.
209
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,614
The Pistons
had overtaken the Celtics
210
00:13:01,697 --> 00:13:03,908
as kings of the Eastern Conference,
211
00:13:03,991 --> 00:13:08,370
and they're rolling along just as
the Bulls are really starting to emerge.
212
00:13:10,247 --> 00:13:13,709
In '86-'87, when Jerry Krause
made a head coaching hire,
213
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:17,463
I think we all felt that
we needed something different.
214
00:13:18,172 --> 00:13:20,007
This speaks to Jerry's strengths.
215
00:13:20,508 --> 00:13:23,093
He identified a young Doug Collins,
216
00:13:23,177 --> 00:13:28,390
who he felt would bring an energy
and enthusiasm that a young team needed.
217
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:31,018
This is a game
that we need to have high energy.
218
00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:34,355
We have a high energy level.
We win tonight, we got tomorrow off,
219
00:13:34,438 --> 00:13:37,209
so you can spend all night in LA
doing whatever you want. I don't care.
220
00:13:37,233 --> 00:13:40,194
Otherwise, we got practice tomorrow...
221
00:13:40,277 --> 00:13:42,822
Dougie was a breath of fresh air.
222
00:13:42,905 --> 00:13:45,658
He believed in everything that
I believed in. He wanted to win.
223
00:13:45,741 --> 00:13:48,077
He was an easy guy, great guy to play for.
224
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,123
Welcome, sports fans,
this is the Chicago sports... casino.
225
00:13:53,207 --> 00:13:55,292
- He cheats.
- Man! Take that!
226
00:13:55,376 --> 00:13:58,212
- Wins again.
- Bet, bet, bet.
227
00:13:58,295 --> 00:14:01,674
- We know why he win, he got kings.
- Kings, that's right.
228
00:14:01,757 --> 00:14:05,761
Doug's energy on the sideline
was unparalleled.
229
00:14:06,345 --> 00:14:10,266
He'd walk off the floor of a game,
and he would be drenched in sweat.
230
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:12,852
I mean, he just...
He looked like he played.
231
00:14:12,935 --> 00:14:16,188
Let's make sure, above all,
we get some rest.
232
00:14:16,272 --> 00:14:19,149
Detroit, we're one and four
against those.
233
00:14:19,233 --> 00:14:23,988
And it's on national TV, and I want to
beat those guys on Sunday. Let's go.
234
00:14:24,071 --> 00:14:25,656
Yeah!
235
00:14:26,657 --> 00:14:28,242
The year before I came,
236
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:31,996
the Bulls had been eliminated
by Boston in the playoffs.
237
00:14:32,538 --> 00:14:33,956
The ball game's over.
238
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:36,250
The series goes to Boston
in three straight.
239
00:14:36,333 --> 00:14:39,336
The final score, 122-104, Celtics.
240
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:41,630
The roster
was a little thin at that time.
241
00:14:41,714 --> 00:14:45,217
I'd seen Michael play, but I really never
had spent any time around him.
242
00:14:45,301 --> 00:14:47,428
Number 34, Charles Oakley.
243
00:14:47,511 --> 00:14:50,031
Our second-best player
at the time was Charles Oakley.
244
00:14:50,055 --> 00:14:52,725
He was a vicious rebounder,
brought a lot of toughness.
245
00:14:52,808 --> 00:14:55,603
John Paxson was on that team,
Dave Corzine.
246
00:14:56,312 --> 00:14:58,814
And their head coach,
Doug Collins.
247
00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:02,735
The first game I coached,
we went to Madison Square Garden.
248
00:15:02,818 --> 00:15:06,196
And the Knicks had Patrick Ewing,
Bill Cartwright, they were loaded.
249
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,615
Hubie Brown, Hall of Fame coach.
250
00:15:08,282 --> 00:15:10,951
Two minutes to go in the game.
The game was tied.
251
00:15:11,035 --> 00:15:12,411
I'm soaking wet with sweat.
252
00:15:12,494 --> 00:15:15,289
I've chewed my gum to a powder,
it's around my mouth.
253
00:15:15,372 --> 00:15:18,918
And I saw this hand come out
with a cup of water,
254
00:15:19,001 --> 00:15:21,629
and it was Michael Jordan.
He looked at me and said,
255
00:15:21,712 --> 00:15:24,840
"Coach, take a drink of that water,
clean that stuff off your mouth.
256
00:15:24,924 --> 00:15:26,675
I'm not gonna let you lose
your first game."
257
00:15:27,301 --> 00:15:28,741
Here's Jordan again.
258
00:15:30,220 --> 00:15:31,221
All alone...
259
00:15:32,139 --> 00:15:33,766
Turns, off the glass.
260
00:15:33,849 --> 00:15:36,018
Forty-two points for Michael Jordan.
261
00:15:36,727 --> 00:15:40,105
Ten seconds on the shot clock,
Rory Sparrow working on it.
262
00:15:40,189 --> 00:15:42,358
Jordan, to the basket, scores.
263
00:15:42,441 --> 00:15:45,986
He went out and scored the last ten points
of the game, ended up with 50.
264
00:15:46,070 --> 00:15:50,532
Michael Jordan setting
a new Madison Square Garden record
265
00:15:50,616 --> 00:15:53,285
for an opposing player tonight,
scoring 50 points.
266
00:15:53,369 --> 00:15:56,789
The Chicago Bulls make
Doug Collins a winner his first time out,
267
00:15:56,872 --> 00:15:59,291
and it is a happy Doug Collins
on the far side.
268
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:01,835
I remember being on the plane,
going back to Chicago, I said,
269
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:05,631
"Wow. This guy is something
like I've never seen before."
270
00:16:05,714 --> 00:16:08,008
Doug and I, we're like this, you know.
271
00:16:08,592 --> 00:16:10,052
He designed the offense
272
00:16:10,886 --> 00:16:14,181
to support the way I play the game
and the way he wanted to coach.
273
00:16:14,264 --> 00:16:17,101
It's all right, Michael. It's all right.
274
00:16:17,184 --> 00:16:19,019
I think he loved my competitiveness.
275
00:16:19,103 --> 00:16:23,232
He understands that the greatest respect
you can give a great player
276
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:25,275
is to coach him and coach him hard.
277
00:16:29,613 --> 00:16:31,156
Michael's big thing was,
278
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,367
"Stack the practice against me
and I'll still win."
279
00:16:33,450 --> 00:16:38,038
Doug always tried to maintain
a competitive advantage in practice.
280
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,712
I'd be with the starting five.
281
00:16:45,963 --> 00:16:47,256
Then next thing you know,
282
00:16:47,339 --> 00:16:49,925
while I was winning,
he'd put me with the second team.
283
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:52,929
One day at practice, he got upset.
He thought I was cheating on the score.
284
00:16:53,595 --> 00:16:59,601
And, uh, he got upset and left practice,
and, uh, we came back the next day,
285
00:16:59,685 --> 00:17:02,604
they were asking, "You talked
to Michael since practice yesterday?"
286
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:06,025
I said, "I haven't had a chance. We will."
Then Michael came out.
287
00:17:06,108 --> 00:17:08,193
I reached over, grabbed him,
kissed him on the cheek.
288
00:17:08,277 --> 00:17:09,862
I said, "I love him. He loves me."
289
00:17:09,945 --> 00:17:12,698
- Would you come here so we can kiss on TV?
- Here we go.
290
00:17:13,198 --> 00:17:16,535
- Would you tell them everything is fine?
- Aww.
291
00:17:16,618 --> 00:17:18,680
We've kissed and made up now.
292
00:17:18,704 --> 00:17:24,543
I coached him for three years,
from the '86-'87 season through '88-'89.
293
00:17:25,794 --> 00:17:29,089
When I was coaching him,
he was the MVP of the league.
294
00:17:29,173 --> 00:17:31,133
...in deep, scoops it in!
295
00:17:31,842 --> 00:17:34,011
He was the MVP
of the All-Star Game.
296
00:17:37,681 --> 00:17:39,600
He won the slam dunk competition...
297
00:17:41,185 --> 00:17:42,978
and he was
the Defensive Player of the Year.
298
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:44,622
...pass stolen by Jordan.
299
00:17:44,688 --> 00:17:47,941
Michael Jordan takes it
coast-to-coast. Whoo!
300
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:50,110
That's greatness.
301
00:17:50,194 --> 00:17:52,821
You know, I mean,
he was now the best player.

316

Under Doug Collins,
the Bulls were rapidly improving,
317
00:19:41,013 --> 00:19:45,434
and suddenly becoming a real contender
in the Eastern Conference.
318
00:19:45,517 --> 00:19:50,772
Detroit was certainly, at the time,
the team to beat in the east,
319
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:52,691
but who was going to be their challenger?
320
00:19:52,774 --> 00:19:55,736
Who was going to really rise up
and challenge Detroit?
321
00:19:55,819 --> 00:19:57,696
It was gonna be one of two teams.
322
00:19:57,779 --> 00:20:00,115
The Bulls were in ascension,
obviously, at that time,
323
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:03,660
with their young core of Jordan
and Pippen and Horace Grant.
324
00:20:03,744 --> 00:20:07,789
But Cleveland was,
at the time, a great team.
325
00:20:07,873 --> 00:20:10,751
So these are the two rising teams
in the east.
326
00:20:12,836 --> 00:20:16,048
The Bulls play
Cleveland in '89 in a best-three-of-five.
327
00:20:16,757 --> 00:20:18,967
Most basketball observers believed
328
00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:20,594
Cleveland was better.
329
00:20:20,677 --> 00:20:22,304
Nobody has picked the Bulls.
330
00:20:22,387 --> 00:20:25,682
The media picked Cavs.
Everybody's picked, nationally, the Cavs.
331
00:20:25,766 --> 00:20:30,020
Back then, we played teams
six times in our division.
332
00:20:30,979 --> 00:20:33,982
They beat us six times, 6-0.
333
00:20:34,691 --> 00:20:36,860
So now in our mind,
we got nothing to lose.
334
00:20:38,528 --> 00:20:41,823
Bulls win the first game,
Cleveland wins the second in Cleveland.
335
00:20:41,907 --> 00:20:43,787
Tied 1-1
with Cleveland's victory.
336
00:20:43,825 --> 00:20:45,994
Back to Chicago,
Bulls win game three.
337
00:20:46,078 --> 00:20:48,372
Chicago wins it, 101-94.
338
00:20:48,956 --> 00:20:53,001
Game four, Jordan's got a free throw
at the end of regulation, misses.
339
00:20:54,294 --> 00:20:57,923
Missed it. The Cavaliers
have kept their hopes alive.
340
00:20:58,006 --> 00:20:59,883
We go back to Cleveland for game five.
341
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:03,804
And welcome
to the Richfield Coliseum for game five
342
00:21:03,887 --> 00:21:06,640
between the Chicago Bulls
and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
343
00:21:07,557 --> 00:21:09,810
Up to that time, the franchise,
344
00:21:09,893 --> 00:21:12,104
the history of the Bulls
was blowing leads.
345
00:21:12,187 --> 00:21:14,856
And you're like, "Oh, my God,
this is gonna happen again.
346
00:21:14,940 --> 00:21:18,235
They're gonna blow this. They're gonna
lose the series to Cleveland."
347
00:21:18,318 --> 00:21:21,822
So, game's about to start,
and there was two other beat writers.
348
00:21:22,531 --> 00:21:25,033
Beat writer from the Sun-Times, Lacy Banks
349
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:27,452
and Kent McDill from the Herald and me.
350
00:21:28,370 --> 00:21:30,872
And Lacy's picked
the Cavs to sweep in three.
351
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:34,710
Kent's picked the Cavs to win in four,
and I've picked the Cavs to win in five.
352
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:37,504
So, Michael... Game's just about to start,
353
00:21:37,587 --> 00:21:41,258
Michael walks over to Lacy, and points
to him and says, "We took care of you."
354
00:21:41,341 --> 00:21:43,844
He looks at Kent and says,
"We took care of you."
355
00:21:43,927 --> 00:21:46,513
And he looks at me,
"And we take care of you today."
356
00:21:48,515 --> 00:21:50,892
Mark Price and Ron Harper
in the backcourt
357
00:21:50,976 --> 00:21:53,020
and we're underway. Cleveland has it.
358
00:21:54,229 --> 00:21:56,481
We went back and forth
the whole time.
359
00:21:56,565 --> 00:21:59,359
Jordan against Harper,
great turnaround.
360
00:21:59,443 --> 00:22:00,986
It was a very tough game.
361
00:22:01,069 --> 00:22:02,654
This is the playoffs,
362
00:22:02,738 --> 00:22:06,199
and here we have two great teams
right here, guys that lay it out.
363
00:22:06,283 --> 00:22:07,326
It was a constant battle.
364
00:22:20,964 --> 00:22:23,604
We have had drama
in the final minutes of the game.
365
00:22:23,675 --> 00:22:26,136
- Eleven seconds to go.
- In the middle...
366
00:22:26,219 --> 00:22:27,471
Jordan has it,
367
00:22:27,554 --> 00:22:31,266
and Jordan puts up a jumper and hits,
with six seconds to go.
368
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:35,354
Jordan hits the basket and now
has 42 points in the game,
369
00:22:35,437 --> 00:22:38,065
and the Cavaliers have called a timeout.
370
00:22:38,648 --> 00:22:41,902
Ehlo will inbound. He gets it in to Nance,
gets the ball back,
371
00:22:41,985 --> 00:22:45,072
drives to the hoop, lays it in
with three seconds to go.
372
00:22:50,911 --> 00:22:53,246
Here's our story,
here at Richfield Coliseum.
373
00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:57,626
One of these teams will advance.
It has been a thrilling game.
374
00:22:57,709 --> 00:23:02,547
The Bulls have three seconds to try a shot
and try to win the game.
375
00:23:03,256 --> 00:23:05,384
Everybody knew
where the ball was gonna go.
376
00:23:06,885 --> 00:23:10,430
They had Craig Ehlo on me
at the time which,
377
00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:12,766
honestly, was a mistake,
378
00:23:13,433 --> 00:23:16,436
because the guy that played me better
was Ron Harper.
379
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,772
We up by one.
380
00:23:18,855 --> 00:23:21,400
I said, "Coach, I got MJ.
381
00:23:22,651 --> 00:23:23,944
I got MJ."
382
00:23:24,569 --> 00:23:28,698
So the coach tells me,
"I'm gonna put Ehlo on MJ."
383
00:23:29,324 --> 00:23:30,409
And I'm, like...
384
00:23:31,952 --> 00:23:34,621
"Yeah, okay, whatever,
fuck this bullshit."
385
00:23:35,747 --> 00:23:39,709
Defense! Defense!
386
00:23:40,335 --> 00:23:43,922
We drew a play
where I was coming to the ball.
387
00:23:45,173 --> 00:23:48,135
But I only had time to get
one dribble and get a jump shot off.
388
00:23:49,094 --> 00:23:51,346
We were gonna live and die
with that scenario.
389
00:23:52,180 --> 00:23:54,558
So I was doing everything
I can to get the ball.
390
00:23:55,308 --> 00:23:57,436
The inbounds pass
comes in to Jordan.
391
00:23:57,519 --> 00:23:59,896
Here's Michael at the foul line,
a shot on Ehlo...
392
00:23:59,980 --> 00:24:03,066
Good! The Bulls win, they win it!
393
00:24:07,863 --> 00:24:13,160
And Chicago
has knocked off the Cavs, 101-100.
394
00:24:13,243 --> 00:24:15,620
Michael!
Michael, you stuck it, baby!
395
00:24:16,496 --> 00:24:17,873
Michael, you stuck it, baby.
396
00:24:17,956 --> 00:24:19,374
- You stuck it!
- Yeah!
397
00:24:21,126 --> 00:24:23,837
I feel very vindicated from
when we started the playoff
398
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,131
with the dim look
that everybody was giving us...
399
00:24:26,214 --> 00:24:28,758
Even I asked you in the locker room,
I asked everybody,
400
00:24:28,842 --> 00:24:32,345
"What was the feeling back in Chicago?
Did they write us off yet?"
401
00:24:32,429 --> 00:24:34,181
You said, "Some of 'em
have written us off."
402
00:24:34,264 --> 00:24:35,849
I said, "Tell those guys to stay home."
403
00:24:36,433 --> 00:24:39,153
Somebody had written or said,
"The Bulls were gonna go home,
404
00:24:39,644 --> 00:24:40,896
send them home."
405
00:24:40,979 --> 00:24:44,065
So when he hits the shot,
"Go home, motherfuckers, go home."
406
00:24:44,149 --> 00:24:48,195
Get the fuck out of here, go fucking
anywhere, but you out of here.
407
00:24:48,278 --> 00:24:50,906
Whoever is not with us,
all you fuckers, go to hell.
408
00:24:50,989 --> 00:24:54,284
Jordan beat them
at the buzzer with a jump shot.
409
00:24:54,367 --> 00:24:56,828
It was so dramatic and it was typical
410
00:24:56,912 --> 00:25:00,248
of what we'd see Michael do
the rest of his career in big moments.
411
00:25:00,332 --> 00:25:05,003
That shot enabled the Bulls
to start growing
412
00:25:05,086 --> 00:25:07,714
and believing
that something special was on the horizon.
413
00:25:07,797 --> 00:25:10,926
We finally got over
the hump of losers' mentality.
414
00:25:11,009 --> 00:25:13,470
We were starting to become
a winning franchise,
415
00:25:14,054 --> 00:25:16,473
and, you know, the sky was the limit.
416
00:25:17,974 --> 00:25:22,437
How high can this man fly?
Michael Jordan is soaring
417
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:24,814
and the Chicago Bulls
are going right with him.
418
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,235
But now Superman faces his toughest test.
419
00:25:28,818 --> 00:25:33,198
And we bring you the first game
of the Eastern Conference Championship
420
00:25:33,281 --> 00:25:38,495
between the underdog Chicago Bulls
and the favored Detroit Pistons.
421
00:25:39,162 --> 00:25:43,124
The NBA was invested
in making Michael Jordan its star.
422
00:25:43,875 --> 00:25:45,126
The Pistons were...
423
00:25:46,127 --> 00:25:47,837
slowing that down.
424
00:25:47,921 --> 00:25:53,718
We knew how important to the NBA it was
to get Michael to go to the next level.
425
00:25:53,802 --> 00:25:59,015
The blueprint was Larry,
Magic, now Michael.
426
00:26:00,350 --> 00:26:03,228
And all of a sudden,
there was this little team in Detroit
427
00:26:03,311 --> 00:26:05,480
who just messed up the whole story.
428
00:26:06,064 --> 00:26:07,065
We loved that.
429
00:26:07,148 --> 00:26:09,067
How legitimate
was the hatred
430
00:26:09,150 --> 00:26:11,278
between those Bulls teams
and those Pistons?
431
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:12,362
Oh, I hated 'em.
432
00:26:13,446 --> 00:26:15,490
Yeah, the hate carries even to this day.
433
00:26:16,700 --> 00:26:20,704
They made it personal.
They physically beat the shit out of us.
434
00:26:20,787 --> 00:26:22,998
When we played the Pistons
in that series,
435
00:26:23,081 --> 00:26:26,751
it was...
it was arm-to-arm physical combat.
436
00:26:28,545 --> 00:26:30,964
But we never backed down. We fought them.
437
00:26:31,590 --> 00:26:34,509
The Bulls have won
the first game.
438
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:36,219
So we got game one.
439
00:26:36,303 --> 00:26:37,554
They won game two.
440
00:26:38,263 --> 00:26:39,973
We came back to Chicago,
441
00:26:40,056 --> 00:26:42,475
Michael had
one of the most incredible games.
442
00:26:43,143 --> 00:26:46,521
Jordan. Steal,
he kept it in bounds, here it is again.
443
00:26:47,897 --> 00:26:49,816
Oh! Yes!
444
00:26:51,234 --> 00:26:55,530
You'll see him elevate,
do a 360 and just toss it up.
445
00:26:55,614 --> 00:26:57,574
Pippen, finds Jordan.
446
00:26:57,657 --> 00:26:59,367
Rodman is on him, one-on-one.
447
00:27:00,118 --> 00:27:01,578
Five seconds to go.
448
00:27:01,661 --> 00:27:03,788
Jordan, off the glass. Yes!
449
00:27:05,540 --> 00:27:07,626
It's over. Chicago wins.
450
00:27:10,879 --> 00:27:12,759
What was your call
on that last play?
451
00:27:13,757 --> 00:27:17,510
That was, "Get the ball to Michael,
everybody get the fuck out of the way..."
452
00:27:17,594 --> 00:27:19,754
"...and go to the basket."
453
00:27:22,641 --> 00:27:24,267
Jordan pretty much took over the game,
454
00:27:24,351 --> 00:27:26,770
made all the big field goals
down the stretch,
455
00:27:26,853 --> 00:27:29,564
showed like the...
Showed the superstar he really is.
456
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,400
Chuck, how do you bounce back?
457
00:27:34,235 --> 00:27:36,905
We knew Michael Jordan's
the greatest player,
458
00:27:37,739 --> 00:27:41,534
and we tried to use it as a rallying cry
to come together.
459
00:27:42,619 --> 00:27:47,082
We had to do everything from
a physicality standpoint to stop him.
460
00:27:47,582 --> 00:27:51,336
Detroit had "Jordan Rules"
just for Michael.
461
00:27:52,003 --> 00:27:53,755
I don't know how he came out of it alive.
462
00:27:54,422 --> 00:27:56,424
The infamous "Jordan Rules,"
463
00:27:56,508 --> 00:27:59,761
the Pistons' defensive tactics
designed to contain their namesake,
464
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:02,389
are enforced whenever
Michael is on the floor.
465
00:28:02,472 --> 00:28:04,683
When he was in the air, we had no shot.
466
00:28:04,766 --> 00:28:09,062
Uh, but when everything was on the floor,
you can hold your own.
467
00:28:09,145 --> 00:28:11,272
You have to stop him
before he takes flight
468
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:13,233
'cause, you know, he's not human.
469
00:28:13,942 --> 00:28:15,422
Michael Jordan. Fouled.
470
00:28:16,319 --> 00:28:19,239
Jordan. Jordan again, pushed.
471
00:28:19,322 --> 00:28:22,409
Here again,
the implementation of the "Jordan Rules."
472
00:28:24,452 --> 00:28:27,080
The Pistons will even it up
at two apiece,
473
00:28:27,163 --> 00:28:30,208
and the story of this game,
the Detroit defense.
474
00:28:30,959 --> 00:28:33,044
This is what
the "Jordan Rules" were:
475
00:28:33,545 --> 00:28:37,215
on the wings, we're going to push him
to the elbow,
476
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:40,260
and we're not gonna let him
drive to the baseline.
477
00:28:41,636 --> 00:28:45,974
Number two: when he's on top,
we're going to influence him to his left.
478
00:28:47,225 --> 00:28:51,062
When he got the ball in the low post,
we were going to trap him from the top.
479
00:28:51,146 --> 00:28:53,648
That's the "Jordan Rules,"
and it was that simple.
480
00:28:54,399 --> 00:28:56,680
What happens
when he does make the baseline?
481
00:28:57,527 --> 00:29:00,905
That's when Laimbeer and Mahorn would
go up and knock him down to the ground.
482
00:29:03,074 --> 00:29:05,243
As soon as he steps in the paint...
483
00:29:06,286 --> 00:29:07,286
hit him.
484
00:29:07,996 --> 00:29:10,457
Chuck Daly said,
"This is a 'Jordan Rule:'
485
00:29:10,540 --> 00:29:12,959
every time he go to the basket,
put him on the ground."
486
00:29:13,668 --> 00:29:15,420
He comes to the basket,
he ain't gonna dunk.
487
00:29:15,503 --> 00:29:17,338
We gonna hit you.
You gonna be on the ground.
488
00:29:17,422 --> 00:29:18,822
Jordan is still down.
489
00:29:18,882 --> 00:29:20,776
We are trying
to physically hurt Michael.
490
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,095
Jordan had no place to go.
Clobbered.
491
00:29:25,263 --> 00:29:26,890
How bad do you want it?
492
00:29:27,557 --> 00:29:30,810
Are you willing to be injured
to score a basket?
493
00:29:30,894 --> 00:29:34,230
The Pistons want to make
Jordan pay whenever he gets in the paint.
494
00:29:34,314 --> 00:29:37,984
The referees back then didn't
look to see if Michael was hurt or not.
495
00:29:38,067 --> 00:29:41,946
It wasn't, "Make sure
that the savior is okay," it wasn't...
496
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:43,406
That wasn't the way it is.
497
00:29:44,824 --> 00:29:49,788
It is over at the Palace.
The Pistons have beaten the Bulls.
498
00:29:51,164 --> 00:29:54,709
I could compare Michael Jordan to nobody
because for him to survive that
499
00:29:54,793 --> 00:29:59,297
and still maintain that greatness,
I mean, it's very unparalleled.
500
00:29:59,380 --> 00:30:02,217
We were not ready for the Detroit Pistons
501
00:30:02,300 --> 00:30:03,593
at that point in time.
502
00:30:03,676 --> 00:30:07,806
They were more physical than us.
Uh, they were the aggressors.
503
00:30:07,889 --> 00:30:09,432
Detroit had our number.
504
00:30:09,516 --> 00:30:13,394
The Detroit Pistons,
by virtue of a 103-94 victory,
505
00:30:13,478 --> 00:30:16,523
have eliminated the Bulls
and indeed are headed for the finals.
506
00:30:16,606 --> 00:30:19,484
Unfortunately for the Bulls,
the story was the same.
507
00:30:19,567 --> 00:30:21,528
"Control Michael and the win is yours."
508
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:27,075
We did not have, as a unit,
509
00:30:27,158 --> 00:30:30,411
the confidence that we felt
like we needed to beat Detroit.
510
00:30:31,287 --> 00:30:32,447
The game's over
511
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:34,377
and the Pistons have won
the world championship.
512
00:30:36,751 --> 00:30:38,711
They're going down
in the record books
513
00:30:38,753 --> 00:30:42,257
as one of the greatest defensive teams
ever in the history of this league.
514
00:30:43,007 --> 00:30:46,094
It seems that, in sports,
there's always that one team...
515
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:48,346
that you have to overcome,
516
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:52,559
and you almost build your team
to beat them,
517
00:30:52,642 --> 00:30:57,480
and unequivocally, for the Bulls,
it was the Pistons.
518
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:09,784
A friend of Dennis Rodman
was worried enough
519
00:31:09,868 --> 00:31:14,289
about the Piston's whereabouts overnight
that he called 911 to initiate a search.
520
00:31:14,372 --> 00:31:18,209
Police found Rodman at the Palace
early this morning in Auburn Hills.
521
00:31:18,293 --> 00:31:21,421
Rodman had taken
his legally registered rifle with him.
522
00:31:21,504 --> 00:31:23,965
His mood characterized as despondent.
523
00:31:24,966 --> 00:31:27,719
What happened?
Why are people concerned?
524
00:31:27,802 --> 00:31:29,137
You get the right answer.
525
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,680
I'm here.
526
00:31:32,307 --> 00:31:34,187
That's Dennis
at 8:00 this morning,
527
00:31:34,267 --> 00:31:36,477
trying to assure reporters that he's fine,
528
00:31:36,561 --> 00:31:38,980
that he's not on the verge
of an emotional breakdown,
529
00:31:39,063 --> 00:31:42,233
and that he did nothing
out of the ordinary, at least for him.
530
00:31:42,317 --> 00:31:47,238
The report that we have is
he took a gun, had a gun in his truck.
531
00:31:47,322 --> 00:31:49,991
Uh, have you heard that,
can you confirm that?
532
00:31:50,074 --> 00:31:52,785
I've heard that, yeah. That's all I know.
533
00:31:52,869 --> 00:31:56,289
I had a gun in my hand,
like, in the front seat.
534
00:31:57,081 --> 00:32:01,169
Luckily, I fell asleep,
and the cops came and got me.
535
00:32:03,171 --> 00:32:06,758
I was at a lost place at the time.
Just a lost place.
536
00:32:09,969 --> 00:32:14,933
That time in my life, I think that was
both a wake-up call and a rescue call.
537
00:32:15,016 --> 00:32:19,562
Last night may have been the last time
we see Dennis Rodman in a Pistons uniform.
538
00:32:19,646 --> 00:32:22,982
- Rodman used to be a Piston.
- He's out of there.
539
00:32:23,566 --> 00:32:27,028
The Worm is now a Spur,
traded for Sean Elliott and David Wood.
540
00:32:27,904 --> 00:32:29,781
Dennis goes to San Antonio,
541
00:32:29,864 --> 00:32:33,076
and then Demolition Man comes out,
and he changes his hair color.
542
00:32:33,159 --> 00:32:34,786
That's me, that's Dennis Rodman.
543
00:32:36,245 --> 00:32:37,580
I'm not trying to please anybody.
544
00:32:38,164 --> 00:32:39,707
And Madonna goes, "He's cute."
545
00:32:40,208 --> 00:32:41,960
And they started seeing each other.
546
00:32:42,627 --> 00:32:44,712
Madonna explained to him,
547
00:32:44,796 --> 00:32:48,341
"You have to establish
who you want to be in this life.
548
00:32:48,424 --> 00:32:51,094
Don't be who they tell you you should be."
549
00:32:52,220 --> 00:32:57,058
He started realizing
he can push to any boundary,
550
00:32:57,141 --> 00:32:59,185
and that's a freedom.
551
00:32:59,268 --> 00:33:03,106
People that write the things in the paper
don't really know Dennis Rodman.
552
00:33:03,189 --> 00:33:06,776
They don't even talk to me so they have
to write something that's crazy and stupid
553
00:33:06,859 --> 00:33:08,528
to make me look like an asshole.
554
00:33:08,611 --> 00:33:12,031
I just wanna do something
that makes me feel like I'm free,
555
00:33:12,115 --> 00:33:14,075
that I can go do anything I want to do.
556
00:33:14,575 --> 00:33:16,744
What does it mean?
The outfits, the tattoos,
557
00:33:16,828 --> 00:33:21,749
the sunglasses, the velvet hat,
the rings, the... stuff.
558
00:33:22,417 --> 00:33:23,417
Why?
559
00:33:23,459 --> 00:33:25,712
I like doing what I'm doing.
560
00:33:25,795 --> 00:33:29,007
It makes me happy. It makes me feel
like I'm a ten-year-old kid.
561
00:33:29,507 --> 00:33:32,468
Can I ask you to do one thing for me
before we leave this interview?
562
00:33:32,969 --> 00:33:35,388
- Take off the hat.
- Why does everybody say that to me?
563
00:33:35,471 --> 00:33:38,057
- Let me see what color it is.
- It's no color.
564
00:33:38,141 --> 00:33:40,977
I've been pretty much lazy
and just, "Hell with it."
565
00:33:41,060 --> 00:33:42,770
I'm thinking about shaving it off.
566
00:33:45,481 --> 00:33:47,650
I wanted no part of Dennis.
567
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:49,193
Didn't want anything to do with him.
568
00:33:49,277 --> 00:33:52,572
And, uh, Jimmy Stack,
who was my assistant at that point,
569
00:33:52,655 --> 00:33:54,490
came to me, said,
"Let's talk about Rodman."
570
00:33:54,574 --> 00:33:56,409
I said "No, I don't wanna
talk about Rodman."
571
00:33:56,909 --> 00:33:59,328
And he said,
"Jerry, I've done some homework."
572
00:33:59,412 --> 00:34:03,499
I really felt like I had
a different perspective on Dennis.
573
00:34:03,583 --> 00:34:06,794
Why, Dennis Rodman,
who already has a T...
574
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:09,964
...gets another one, and out he goes.
575
00:34:10,548 --> 00:34:13,885
Dennis was acting out in San Antonio.
576
00:34:15,845 --> 00:34:19,974
But I felt like the structure we had, with
Michael and Scottie and the leadership,
577
00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:23,811
Dennis would respect those guys
and play and thrive.
578
00:34:24,312 --> 00:34:26,689
If we had not had
Michael and Scottie
579
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:29,692
and the people in that locker room,
we would've never taken Dennis.
580
00:34:29,776 --> 00:34:32,695
If Phil hadn't been the coach,
I don't think we would've taken him.
581
00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:34,864
Because I knew that Phil could handle him.
582
00:34:35,865 --> 00:34:38,493
Do you remember
your first meeting with Rodman?
583
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:39,827
Oh, it was awful.
584
00:34:41,245 --> 00:34:43,247
I walk into Jerry Krause's house.
585
00:34:44,248 --> 00:34:48,127
He's sitting on the couch.
He's got a pool boy hat over his eyes,
586
00:34:48,211 --> 00:34:50,755
he's got the rings in his nose
and his mouth,
587
00:34:50,838 --> 00:34:54,300
and he doesn't stand up to meet me.
So I said, "Stand up, Dennis.
588
00:34:54,383 --> 00:34:57,512
Take your hat off, shake hands.
Let's go outside and talk."
589
00:34:57,595 --> 00:35:00,515
We had to break bread then, at the house.
590
00:35:00,598 --> 00:35:02,725
He said "Dennis,
you wanna play for the Bulls?"
591
00:35:02,809 --> 00:35:05,770
I said, "I don't care.
Whatever. What's up?"
592
00:35:05,853 --> 00:35:07,814
Last week, the Bulls
announced the acquisition
593
00:35:07,897 --> 00:35:09,524
of a player many people consider
594
00:35:09,607 --> 00:35:12,193
the most controversial basketball star
in the NBA.
595
00:35:12,902 --> 00:35:17,156
He is Dennis Rodman, one of the best
rebounders in NBA history.
596
00:35:17,240 --> 00:35:20,701
Is it one of the shrewdest moves the Bulls
have ever made or one of the dumbest?
597
00:35:20,785 --> 00:35:22,995
There was this visceral reaction
to Rodman.
598
00:35:23,079 --> 00:35:26,624
Rodman was at the center
of the most hated team
599
00:35:26,707 --> 00:35:28,042
in the history of Chicago.
600
00:35:28,126 --> 00:35:32,547
We all thought, "Well, there's no way
they would ever accept him.
601
00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:35,258
Even if they signed him,
they will never accept him."
602
00:35:35,341 --> 00:35:37,260
You know, and to their credit,
603
00:35:37,343 --> 00:35:40,263
Jordan and Pippen, especially, said,
"He can help us win.
604
00:35:40,346 --> 00:35:42,348
We know how tough he is."
605
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,332
How did Dennis fit in
with the team when he first arrived?
606
00:35:50,356 --> 00:35:51,983
Like a hand in a glove.
607
00:35:52,984 --> 00:35:55,903
Dennis was a dominant
defensive player,
608
00:35:56,487 --> 00:35:59,198
and what Dennis brought
was exactly what we needed,
609
00:35:59,282 --> 00:36:02,535
somebody who gave us that edge
on the front line.

He understood defensive strategy,

He had no limits in terms of what he does.
625
00:36:43,034 --> 00:36:45,745
He could guard multiple players.
626
00:36:46,329 --> 00:36:49,916
He studied each guy. He knew
players' strengths and weaknesses.

Rodman with the interception...
628
00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:55,379
Dennis knows how to play
his role well.

I know.
You gave me a good article the other day.
637
00:37:48,891 --> 00:37:50,611
- I appreciate that.
- Which one?
638
00:37:50,643 --> 00:37:52,770
You said, "Quit worrying
about what he's gonna do
639
00:37:52,853 --> 00:37:55,564
and live for the present.
Don't worry about next year.
640
00:37:55,648 --> 00:37:58,401
Leave him alone. Quit asking
questions about what's happening."
641
00:37:58,484 --> 00:37:59,724
I'm sick of it, too.
642
00:37:59,777 --> 00:38:02,780
I'm tired of it, totally tired of it.
I'mma stop talking to y'all.
643
00:38:02,863 --> 00:38:04,198
Just say, "Next question."
644
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:06,951
Y'all guys don't do it anymore,
but it's on the road.
645
00:38:07,034 --> 00:38:08,595
- That's what kills me.
- Yeah.
646
00:38:08,619 --> 00:38:11,789
It's gotta be
a little draining, every city, like,
647
00:38:11,872 --> 00:38:14,625
"Is it Michael's last game?"
Everything that's going on with that.
648
00:38:14,709 --> 00:38:17,837
Is it wearing on you a little?
Does it wear on you little bit?
649
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,047
Yeah, it gets old. Questions don't change
650
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:22,341
and the answer is the same.
651
00:38:22,425 --> 00:38:25,136
Wouldn't it be nice if Bulls fans
could enjoy this title run
652
00:38:25,219 --> 00:38:27,779
without worrying that it could be
the final running of the Bulls?
653
00:38:27,847 --> 00:38:30,099
More questions in that vein
for Michael Jordan today.
654
00:38:30,182 --> 00:38:32,184
You said
that this is your last year.
655
00:38:32,268 --> 00:38:34,037
Is this your last outing
in the Bay Area?
656
00:38:34,061 --> 00:38:35,330
Think it's your last season?
657
00:38:35,354 --> 00:38:37,274
Is it Michael's final run
as a Bull?
658
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:39,084
Think it's your last time
in Atlanta?
659
00:38:39,108 --> 00:38:41,610
- Should he retire?
- It's his decision.
660
00:38:41,694 --> 00:38:44,447
We're required to ask
every game if you're gonna retire.
661
00:38:44,530 --> 00:38:45,865
You're gonna get the same answer.
662
00:38:45,948 --> 00:38:49,785
Although I may have the same answers,
I practice them quite a bit.
663
00:38:49,869 --> 00:38:51,120
I don't know. I don't know.
664
00:38:51,203 --> 00:38:52,872
You never know. You never know.
665
00:38:52,955 --> 00:38:54,081
Beats me.
666
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:57,293
This may be the last time,
the last dance, whatever, but...
667
00:38:57,376 --> 00:38:59,712
I'm not focusing on that,
I'm focusing on the moment.
668
00:38:59,795 --> 00:39:02,548
Enjoy the moment, you know,
enjoy the game.
669
00:39:02,631 --> 00:39:05,468
And whenever... Whatever happens
for this organization,
670
00:39:05,551 --> 00:39:06,969
at the end of the season, happens.
671
00:39:07,053 --> 00:39:08,322
What happens after that happens.
672
00:39:08,346 --> 00:39:13,476
I think people, well, the media basically,
are trying to redirect, trying to change
673
00:39:13,559 --> 00:39:17,521
some kind of little emphasis within
the question and see if my answers change,
674
00:39:17,605 --> 00:39:18,939
and my response won't change.
675
00:39:19,023 --> 00:39:20,983
So what about next year, Michael?
676
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:26,864
You guys are... I love you guys.
You're great. Excuse me.
677
00:39:39,919 --> 00:39:42,213
Okay, everybody,
let's go meet the Sniff Brothers.
678
00:39:46,592 --> 00:39:48,844
These are the Sniff Brothers over here.
679
00:39:48,928 --> 00:39:52,306
First, there's Gus Sniff, CT Sniff,
680
00:39:52,390 --> 00:39:55,059
Calvin Sniff, Tom Sniff.
681
00:39:55,142 --> 00:39:57,102
- John Michael Sniff.
- That's John Michael Sniff.
682
00:39:57,144 --> 00:39:57,978
George Sniff.
683
00:39:58,062 --> 00:40:00,689
The Sniff Brothers.
They take care of Michael.
684
00:40:00,773 --> 00:40:04,568
Sniff Brothers
are Michael's security guys.
685
00:40:05,152 --> 00:40:07,363
A sniff brother
is actually a jock sniffer.
686
00:40:07,446 --> 00:40:10,616
So we used to say everybody
was sniffing Michael's jocks.
687
00:40:10,699 --> 00:40:12,284
All those guys would always be around.
688
00:40:12,368 --> 00:40:16,789
He's the general sniff right here.
Brigadier General Gus Sniff.
689
00:40:17,790 --> 00:40:19,917
Brigadier General.
690
00:40:22,169 --> 00:40:23,170
All right.
691
00:40:23,254 --> 00:40:25,589
Y'all get out of here.
We got a heated debate.
692
00:40:25,673 --> 00:40:28,509
Heated debate about the president.
Y'all gotta get out of here.
693
00:40:29,385 --> 00:40:31,429
He'll be running the country
next week.
694
00:40:31,512 --> 00:40:33,055
Gus is gonna be running the country.
695
00:40:33,139 --> 00:40:35,182
If the president
had Sniff Brothers,
696
00:40:35,266 --> 00:40:36,559
he wouldn't have this problem.
697
00:40:42,106 --> 00:40:43,482
That'll pay for your fine.
698
00:40:43,566 --> 00:40:46,235
Oh, yeah? It'll pay for my fine, see?
699
00:40:47,528 --> 00:40:48,571
See what I'm saying?
700
00:40:49,029 --> 00:40:52,575
All people that's in the business are
crooked, too. I'm letting you know.
701
00:40:52,658 --> 00:40:56,162
That was Craig Sager gave me
20 bucks to pay for my fine.
702
00:40:56,745 --> 00:40:59,345
- Sounds like a bribe. Report him.
- That's what I'm saying.
703
00:40:59,415 --> 00:41:02,543
He must want to interview me.
He wants something. That's his problem.
704
00:41:05,337 --> 00:41:06,714
He's just saying hi.
705
00:41:09,216 --> 00:41:10,593
Thank you so much.
706
00:41:12,178 --> 00:41:13,378
They love you so much.
707
00:41:13,429 --> 00:41:15,848
...the entertainment...
Anyway, entertainment...
708
00:41:15,931 --> 00:41:17,016
Here you go, dude.
709
00:41:17,099 --> 00:41:20,311
Oh, my God! Thank you!
710
00:41:20,394 --> 00:41:21,479
Just a signature!
711
00:41:21,562 --> 00:41:24,565
Please, Mr. Rodman. Thank you so much.
712
00:41:26,192 --> 00:41:27,485
Y'all like Chicago?
713
00:41:27,568 --> 00:41:29,737
- Yes, it's awesome.
- We love it.
714
00:41:29,820 --> 00:41:32,364
- You need to come to Nashville sometime.
- No, hell no.
715
00:41:32,448 --> 00:41:35,201
I've been to Nashville, brother, uh-uh.
No.
716
00:41:50,424 --> 00:41:54,303
Two months ago, Scottie Pippen said
he would never play for the Bulls again.
717
00:41:54,386 --> 00:41:58,474
But he softened his stance, saying he was
looking forward to returning to the team.
718
00:41:58,557 --> 00:42:00,893
So the question became
when would he come back?
719
00:42:01,977 --> 00:42:03,737
What made you
change your mind?
720
00:42:04,563 --> 00:42:07,441
- Change my mind about coming to play?
- Yeah.
721
00:42:08,025 --> 00:42:11,362
I just... I knew that it was
probably going to come down
722
00:42:11,445 --> 00:42:15,324
to me and the team
trying to play hardball,
723
00:42:15,407 --> 00:42:17,701
and I would lose in that situation
724
00:42:17,785 --> 00:42:21,580
because they would start to fine me,
probably, so, uh...
725
00:42:23,874 --> 00:42:26,877
I wasn't going to let them benefit
in that way.
726
00:42:27,753 --> 00:42:34,218
Bottom line is, uh, I was willing
to accept a trade if they did it.
727
00:42:34,301 --> 00:42:36,679
And I knew they wasn't going to do it.
728
00:42:37,471 --> 00:42:39,932
After watching 35 games
from the bench,
729
00:42:40,015 --> 00:42:43,811
the Bulls forward suited up at the
United Center tonight and took the court.
730
00:42:43,894 --> 00:42:47,022
As for Dennis Rodman,
check out the newest hairstyle.
731
00:42:47,106 --> 00:42:51,235
Word is that those are 33s in tribute
to Pippen's return.
732
00:42:51,819 --> 00:42:54,280
Pippen ended up playing
31 minutes,
733
00:42:54,363 --> 00:42:57,700
scoring 14 points, grabbing four rebounds,
dishing out five assists,
734
00:42:57,783 --> 00:43:01,328
and the Bulls have to feel uplifted
by having Pippen back.
735
00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:03,747
When Scottie wasn't there,
736
00:43:03,831 --> 00:43:06,959
Dennis loved the fact
that Michael needed him.
737
00:43:07,876 --> 00:43:09,003
Hey, Dennis...
738
00:43:10,462 --> 00:43:13,090
Let me know when Oakley's gonna
set a back screen on me.
739
00:43:13,757 --> 00:43:15,610
- He set that screen right there so he...
- Yeah.
740
00:43:15,634 --> 00:43:17,469
You want me to open up and just hold him?
741
00:43:18,387 --> 00:43:20,681
If you have to switch out, switch out.
742
00:43:20,764 --> 00:43:22,951
I can stop Houston right there,
Oak's gotta turn around,
743
00:43:22,975 --> 00:43:25,615
- I can stop him as you catch up.
- When the clock is running down,
744
00:43:25,686 --> 00:43:27,813
he's setting that screen,
and veering over the top...
745
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:30,357
switch in that situation.
746
00:43:30,899 --> 00:43:34,862
He was, "Hey, Michael, it's me and you.
We got this."
747
00:43:35,863 --> 00:43:38,324
And when Scottie came back,
that's when they lost him.
748
00:43:39,158 --> 00:43:42,411
When Scottie came back,
we've got the Three Amigos again,
749
00:43:42,494 --> 00:43:45,414
and I'm pretty much the third wheel
of the family.
750
00:43:46,290 --> 00:43:52,212
Rodman's descent became dramatic,
his drinking, his partying,
751
00:43:52,296 --> 00:43:54,757
his connection with reality.
752
00:43:55,883 --> 00:43:57,468
People don't understand,
753
00:43:57,551 --> 00:44:00,721
it's just not basketball
that we have to deal with on this team.
754
00:44:00,804 --> 00:44:07,478
It's the pressure of the bullshit,
you know. I'll play the game for free,
755
00:44:07,561 --> 00:44:11,023
but you get paid for the bullshit
after you leave the floor.
756
00:44:11,857 --> 00:44:14,610
The public pressure, the media pressure.
757
00:44:15,110 --> 00:44:18,030
Get out of my face, I'm done. I'm done.
758
00:44:19,615 --> 00:44:20,699
I'm not talking, man.
759
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,910
No comment. How about that one?
760
00:44:27,706 --> 00:44:29,917
Basketball is simple, it's a simple game,
761
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,045
but when you leave this confined zone...
762
00:44:34,546 --> 00:44:36,090
It's hard, it's hard.
763
00:44:37,216 --> 00:44:40,094
I never have to prove anything
to people in this country.
764
00:44:40,177 --> 00:44:44,056
This business can kiss my ass. I don't
give a damn what they think about me.
765
00:44:45,683 --> 00:44:48,644
Everybody understood
Dennis' impact on the group,
766
00:44:48,727 --> 00:44:52,564
and we understood that he had,
uh, different, uh...
767
00:44:53,315 --> 00:44:55,943
needs in his personal life than we did.
768
00:44:56,527 --> 00:44:58,527
I'll play you something
from Michael.
769
00:45:03,867 --> 00:45:07,287
While Scottie was out,
Dennis was a model citizen,
770
00:45:07,371 --> 00:45:11,542
to a point where it was
driving him fucking insane.
771
00:45:11,625 --> 00:45:14,878
So, when Scottie came back,
772
00:45:14,962 --> 00:45:17,131
Dennis wanted to take a vacation.
773
00:45:18,173 --> 00:45:22,386
I come to practice. Phil calls me, says,
"Dennis wants to tell you something."
774
00:45:23,429 --> 00:45:26,890
When Dennis wants to tell me something,
I knew it's not something I want to hear.
775
00:45:26,974 --> 00:45:28,892
It sounds...
776
00:45:28,976 --> 00:45:32,271
So, Dennis says, "I need a vacation."
777
00:45:32,354 --> 00:45:35,232
And I look at Phil,
"Phil, what do you mean, a vacation?"
778
00:45:35,315 --> 00:45:37,735
He says, "He needs a vacation,
time off to let loose."
779
00:45:37,818 --> 00:45:40,237
I said, "Look, Phil, let me
tell you something, man.
780
00:45:40,738 --> 00:45:43,198
If anybody need a fucking vacation,
I need a vacation."
781
00:45:43,282 --> 00:45:46,452
He says... We look at Dennis,
"Dennis, what are you gonna do?"
782
00:45:47,327 --> 00:45:49,121
He says, "Well, I need to go to Vegas."
783
00:45:52,332 --> 00:45:55,461
"Phil, you let this dude go to vacation,
we're not going to see him.
784
00:45:55,544 --> 00:45:58,130
You let him go to Vegas,
we definitely not going to see him."
785
00:45:58,922 --> 00:46:01,258
So, he looks at Dennis,
he says, "Dennis, well,
786
00:46:01,341 --> 00:46:03,802
can your vacation be, like, 48 hours?"
787
00:46:04,344 --> 00:46:05,554
And Dennis is like,
788
00:46:05,637 --> 00:46:09,141
"I got no other choice, I take whatever
you can give me, I'll take the 48 hours."
789
00:46:09,224 --> 00:46:12,186
"Forty-eight hours.
You got 48 hours, Dennis."
790
00:46:12,269 --> 00:46:15,814
I'm looking at Phil, "You ain't gonna
get that dude back in 48 hours.
791
00:46:15,898 --> 00:46:17,775
I don't care what you say. He's done.
792
00:46:17,858 --> 00:46:19,777
Okay. 48 hours."
793
00:46:20,861 --> 00:46:24,656
If he leaves that room,
go straight to the airport... Boom!
794
00:46:24,740 --> 00:46:26,950
They don't hear or see Dennis
for 48 hours.
795
00:46:28,035 --> 00:46:30,078
I remember that.
796
00:46:30,162 --> 00:46:33,207
I went to fucking Vegas.
797
00:46:40,798 --> 00:46:45,928
Dennis was bizarre,
but I think what made it work was
798
00:46:46,011 --> 00:46:48,972
Phil and Michael's understanding...
799
00:46:49,556 --> 00:46:52,392
that to get the most
out of him on the court,
800
00:46:52,476 --> 00:46:54,186
you had to give him some rope.
801
00:46:54,728 --> 00:46:56,855
And they gave him a lot of rope.
