Dennis Rodman, without question, is a flake and during his career, or at least the later part of his career, he liked to draw attention with outrageous behavior and that tends to be how he is remembered: bizarre hair dyes, wearing dresses, spending time with Madonna.
It’s too bad because he was a very special basketball player. He was one of the few people capable of defending young Shaquille O’ Neal, despite giving up five inches and over 100 pounds, and he could guard anyone else he wanted to as well.
Once you got past his desire to draw attention to himself, at heart Rodman was a superbly intelligent player who studied the game intensely.
