Dennis Rodman is most famous for his outrageous, attention-getting antics, but what a lot of people miss about him is that he had a deeply traumatic childhood. He claims to have 47 siblings on his father’s side - he has only seen his father a few times - and had issues with his mother as well.
His life was never easy and when the Pistons picked in in the 1986 NBA Draft, he began to find a place of his own for the first time.
He was terrific with Detroit, helping them to two NBA championships and forming an important bond with coach Chuck Daly.
