While many think of crazy antics and wild outfits when they hear the name Dennis Rodman, the reality is he also had a long and successful career in the NBA. His accomplishments while playing for the Detroit Pistons are being honored tonight during halftime of their game against the Chicago Bulls, when his jersey No. 10 will be retired.
During his time with the Pistons, he helped the team to win two championships and was named Defensive Player of the Year, reports the Chicago Tribune. He then went on to play with the Chicago Bulls during two of their series that made up a three-peat of championships.
