Re: MyTeam Mobile Discussion
Agree with all you said, he understood the nuances of rebounding, defense and the positioning all of them required like few players ever have.
One other thing about Jordan, Pippen and Rodman...they knew how to get under their opponent's skin. They wore people down mentally and it's part of what made those Bulls teams so great. Not only were they physically talented, they understood the mental aspect of the game like no other team ever has.
He was an amazing rebounder because of his otherwordly defense. You have to get into some of the nuances of basketball that get a little too geeky for the normal fan 
but he knew how to use his body for leverage and positioning better than anybody that I have ever watched play.
The three years that he played with the Bulls had 3 of the absolute greatest ever at what they did. Jordan obviously gets love for being one of the GOAT's and is probably the most competitive player to ever walk the courts. Pippen doesn't get enough credit for being such a fluid, smooth offensive presence in the open court and one of the best team defensive players ever because of his tremendous length and athleticism. Then you add in Rodman's completely insane understanding of the mechanics of defense and rebounding plus his total unselfishness offensively and you had a perfect combination of HOF players to dominate a league. All three possessed gifts that could not be coached and only come through natural talent and then years of honing those skills through ridiculous amounts of hard work.
Just think, Ignazz, if he could have found a way to make it in San Antonio then he might have mentored Tim Duncan right along side David Robinson.
