Dennis Rodman NBA Career

After being drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 1986, Rodman took some time to come into his own. He spent seven seasons in Motor City and won back-to-back championships in 1989 and 1990. However, he was traded to the San Antonio Spurs in 1993 due to various factors.

That's where his star shone the brightest. Playing alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen elevated his status and he played a vital role in the Bulls winning three consecutive championships.

He was signed by the Dallas Mavericks for the 1999-00 season. However, his erratic behavior proved to be detrimental to the franchise and he managed to play only 12 games.

After playing for various teams outside the NBA, Rodman retired in 2006. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
