THE BEGINNING
Rodman experienced an unhappy childhood and was
shy and introverted in his early years. When he was young, his father left his family and grew up in
a Dallas section
considered one of the worst areas in those times.
Rodman was not considered an athletic standout. According to himself, he was "unable to hit a layup" and
was listed in the high school basketball teams, but was either benched or cut
from the squads. Measuring only 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m) as a
freshman in high school, he also failed to make the football teams
and was "totally devastated". After finishing school,
Rodman worked as an overnight janitor at Dallas Fort
Worth International Airport. He
experienced a sudden growth spurt, and decided to give basketball another shot.
IT’S NOT HOW YOU START YOUR STORY, BUT HOW YOU
FINISH IT
Playing small forward in his early
years before becoming a power forward, Rodman earned NBA
All-Defensive First Team honors seven times and was voted NBA Defensive
Player of the Year twice. He also led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record
seven consecutive years and won five NBA championships (1989, 1990, 1996, 1997,
1998). His biography at NBA.com states that he is "arguably the best
rebounding forward in NBA history".
In 1992 he
decided he was going to change to be a better person and he started the
process.
