Dennis Rodman in the Hall of Fame? If he gets in...(and that's a big 'IF'), he better dress a heck of a lot better than what he is dressed right now.

I can't believe he's 45 years old. I miss those days when he was playing for the powerful Detroit Pistons...leading the men of Jerome Bettis' hometown to NBA championships in 1989 and 1990.

A big IF ?

:wtf:

A great rebounder, but don't expect him in the Hall soon. His off the court antics (admitted partying, drug use, showing up places in drag) will overshadow his on court accomplishments for quite some time. He looked in great shape for his age on a recent appearance on "Pros vs. Joes."

The best rebouder and hustle on the court of his era but also the biggest #sshole off the court--- HE WONT MAKE IT!!

monte81,

Dennis Keith Rodman is already trailing on your scorecards. How can I not forget him kicking a photographer and head-butting referee Ted Bernhardt?

Five World Championships
7 Rebounding Titles
7 Time First Team All Defensive Team
2 Time Defensive Player of the Year

It would be a joke and a shame if he doesnt get in.........

It is about what he did on the court..........

REALLY? Would it be OK if he wore his "wedding dress" to the induction there, Chronic?

I think rodman will get in because if coke head {irvin} from dallas can get in then so can rodman. besides he was a very good rebounder and he won some titles as well.

I agree he will eventually get in but it will take awhile. His off-court persona coupled with the (true) perception that Jordan was the reason for those rings will delay it a bit.

It REALLY would be a shame. Yep, you read it right. If we were to check the off the court, field, ice.........antics of some of these people the Halls of Fame would be about empty. It is about what he did ON THE COURT....

Lol,you just reminded me that I have a Barbie type/size doll of Dennis dressed in his wedding gown! I wonder if I could get anything for it if he gets in:jestera:
