Dennis Rodman On Beating Up Jordan And Getting Schooled By Larry Bird During His Pistons Days
Dennis Rodman played for the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks. Born in Trenton, New Jersey, he was nicknamed “The Worm” and was known for his fierce defensive and rebounding abilities.
Rodman played at the small forward position in his early years before becoming a power forward. He earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors seven times and won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award twice. He also led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record seven consecutive years and won five NBA championships.
The Worm is arguably the best rebounding forward in NBA history. On April 1, 2011, the Pistons retired Rodman’s No. 10 jersey, and he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame later that year.
In an exclusive interview with my buddy Sean David, Dennis Rodman now talked about getting schooled by Larry Bird and defending Michael Jordan, while he was still a member of the Bad Boy Pistons.
Great interview, great insights; a must watch!
