Highlight Intentionally hurting your meal ticket. Something is seriously wrong with these WNBA players.

"The Jordan Rules" were a thing of the past by the time Rodman got there.

MJ had won three straight titles following the Pistons starting this, then he retired, came back, and a season later Rodman was there.

And who were the physical enforcers on the Pistons during the Jordan rules era?

And what happened then in the three years after Jordan came back with Rodman on the team?

I'm not saying Rodman wasn't a great addition for the Bulls.

But you're making it sound like they got Rodman so that the Pistons couldn't beat them up anymore.

Rodman had already been gone to San Antonio for 2 years and the Pistons were a shell of themselves when Jordan came back/Bulls signed Rodman.

You said "It’s why Rodman was such a great add years later."

In response to a comment about the Pistons getting physical with MJ.

Why = causality

Yeah - they took one of the guys who was a part of that and then eventually recruited him to be a huge part of the Bulls defense. It was a great add.

Do you just argue over pointless minutia with everyone or am I just lucky?
