Rodman, Dennis (1961-...), ranks among the greatest rebounders and defensive players in professional basketball history. Rodman also became one of the most colorful and controversial athletes in American sports. He colored his hair for every game and covered much of his body with tattoos. His aggressive, sometimes reckless playing style during some games earned him frequent technical fouls and a number of suspensions by the National Basketball Association (NBA). Rodman also gained widespread attention for his flamboyant behavior off the court. He wore bizarre clothes and often took part in incidents in public places that received national publicity.
