Dennis Keith Rodman (born May 13, 1961) is a former professional basketball player from the United States. His biography on the official NBA website states that he is “arguably the best rebounding forward in NBA history.”
He is known for his fierce defensive and rebounding abilities. He was a member of the National Basketball Association’s Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks (NBA). Rodman began his career as a small forward before transitioning to power forward.
Who is Dennis Rodman’s mother Shirley Rodman?
Dennis was born to Philander Rodman and Shirley Rodman.
Shirley and the rest of the family, which included Dennis and two young sisters, were abandoned by Philander. The single mother most likely felt that there wasn’t much left for them in New Jersey, so she relocated to Dallas.
Things didn’t get any better for the family there either, as she struggled to keep her children fed and clothed despite taking any odd job she could get her hands on.
He could see selling drugs, being in prison, or even being dead. Rodman mentioned in an interview that was on an episode of ESPN’s “30 For 30.
His mother told him he could either find a job or find a new place to live. Dennis left the house with a garbage bag full of clothes and sat on the steps of his apartment complex.
