Would you like to see Rodzilla return?

Postby Full Surface on Mon Aug 18, 2003 8:32 am

From a fan point of view, I'd like to watch him play basketball again. The only thing that concerns me is that if he'll be able to play a complete season without getting injured or suspended. He's around 40 years old now and he might not be a big threat physically but since people still consider him a whacko so he'll probably just scare his opponents, as he's always been doing. I don't think any team wants this guy though (except the Kings, they might find him as useful backup for Webber).

Oh, and I want to see an Artest-Rodman matchup soon.

No PLEASE! I hate Rodman! He was the only guy on the Unstoppa-Bulls of the 90s that I couldn't stand! Just unbelieveable! He's 42 Now! No Way he's coming back.

I comepletely agree, i wouldn't like him to come back

(N) on that, no way he is coming back. He will only get in a fight and get suspended 3 games into the season. :?

Dennis Rodman, :lol: . Yes, I would love to see him playing, even when he became a non-factor when played for Dallas, I guess he might still do his show. The only player I enjoyed watching from the last Bulls championships.

Also, if he's playing for the Queens, that's very advantageous. That would mean a few techs for his team in closed games, lol.

I don't think the NBA needs him, though Rodman needs the NBA for exposure. If he was to return, it would basically be as a sideshow, not a key contributor. I say the Worm should stay in retirement.

ya but if shaq landed a punch on rodman he would be out cold for quite a while. Plus no one would stop the fight cause everyone would be scared of shaq, lol.

I always liked rodman, i think with him it's kinda u hate him or u like him, the same with ai, but though im a fan i also believe he should stay retired, he had a nice career and he should leave it with that, there's no need to prove himself again or put up a show in the nba, he can do that elsewhere too(it doesnt take away that it would be cool to see him match up against shaq or sheed or artest but still), maybe he should try to get some attention in a positive way for a change(what am i sayin', can he do that :D ).

yes overall he had a great winning career..but i think his comeback reason is that the last part of his career sucked..so he is trying to return and try to close his NBA career as a winner...so that's y i think he was going with the Kings...

Like Isaiah Rider, he's worn out his welcome. Even if he was to make a comeback, he'd probably be released before the All-Star break.

I have nothing against Rodman, I acknowledge what he was able to accomplish during his career and despite all the craziness, I think he's worthy of our respect for the positive things he did on the court. But there's no need for him to return.

I think it's up to Dennis to make a comeback and it's his decision, just like it was Michael's. I personally would love to see Rodman comeback and play the Lakers in the playoffs so we could see the Mailman and the Worm go at it one more time.

Yeah, Dennis already said he wanted to return. He even begged in a sports show for a team to sign him (which was sad). It's really up to a team in the NBA to make an agreement with him.

I'd definitely want to enjoy a Malone-Rodman feud again. I still remember when they fought each other in WCW wrestling a few years back.

I would be sooo happy if he could be signed by the bulls, and then
Jordan would make another comeback and also sign with the Bulls,
and then Rodman-Jordan-Pippen try to bring back the 96-98 era

Now i admit I am a huge Rodman fan :D especially wen he was in chicago. He is one of the greatest rebounders of all-time and was a great defender too. Wen he was wit the Bulls he was my favorite player in the NBA. Mainly because alot of my friends considered me a Rodman on the court cuz all i do is get rebounds :wink: . Now his actions outside of basketball is his business and i could care less :roll: . It would be great to see him come bac and play for any team :) . I dont think anyone knows really wat they're getting if they did sign Dennis as far as anything off the court :oops: but as far as on the court i think he is a plus IMO. If he is willing to come to "PRACTICE" :? and teach the young guys basketball skills then he will be a plus. All in all i want to see Dennis bac on the court wit the colored hair and from 91' season thru 00' season he never averaged under 11.2 rebounds a game :o .

And like they said bad publicity is better than no publicity :)
and some teams need some publicity :wink:

i supprised jason duncan didn't say "rodman would be scared to fight kobe cause he would think kobe would rape him" cause that sounds like something jason duncan would say.... ok anyway

Rodman won't come back, because he is 42 and he will just cause problems for the league, fights and stuff like u guys are suggesting, and because i doubt any team wants, him, inculding the kings, i really doubt they were actually serious if they even said they might have him.

Gotta beat andrew to it. :(

anywayz a rodman vs kobe fight probably wouldnt happen. Dont forget the "worm" actually did play with the lakers. But who the heck would wanna sign rodman. Maybe the celtics just so he can draw the hecklers attention before they can get to antoine but nobody wants him.

I think if he cant get in the nba he'll go 2 the nbdl just to raise hell there. :twisted: just kidding.

I don't know why you guys think that Rodman will get into fights if he comes back. The last time I remember Rodman intentionally fighting another player was when he was with the Spurs. I believe he attacked John Stockton in a Jazz-Spurs series in the early 90's but that's about it. He did get into trouble for kicking a cameramen and other off the court stuff but I don't think he fought another player in his Chicago days.
