These days when people mention Dennis Rodman words like freak, drag queen, drug addict are used to describe him. Although Rodman is far from normal he is one of the greatest basketball players of all-time. The irony of Rodman’s personal life is that it matches his basketball career, literally weird! Rodman wasn’t an unstoppable score or dunker or amazing passer but still his impact was felt everytime he was in the building. Rodman took one extremely important part of the game of basketball and made that his job! That job was rebounding. At only 6’7” and 230 he out rebounded players that were bigger and stronger than him on a regular basis simply because of one thing, determination! For his career Rodman averaged 13.1 RPG and his highest average was 18.7 RPG during 91-92’ season. He also has 5 NBA Championships and was an integral part to each one. Determination is something that cannot be over come if the passion behind it is strong enough and Dennis Rodman’s basketball career is a prime example.
