You Tube Gold: Dennis Rodman Highlights

Dennis Rodman was - is - a strange and often troubled man. He had a difficult childhood, was homeless for a time as a young man, before finally becoming a solid player at Southeastern Oklahoma and finding his path.

He was drafted by Detroit in 1986 and built a solid career there. He spent a brief period in San Antonio, where his eccentricities became more evident and so were his troubles: while getting divorced and after father figure Chuck Daly left the Pistons, he attempted suicide in 1993. We’re not sure which team he was with at the time.
