Dennis Rodman has played a lot of roles in his lifetime. He has twice been an N.B.A. All-Star and defensive player of the year. He has also been a bridegroom and a bride, a father and a surrogate son. He has been an author, an actor, a corporate spokesman and a full-time enigma.
Rodman, 45, who won five championships during a tumultuous 14-year N.B.A. career filled with as much controversy as glory, would like to add another title to his lengthy résumé: Hall of Famer.
“Getting into the Hall of Fame would be something very special,” Rodman said recently over lunch in Times Square. “I don’t think it would mean as much to me as it would to all the people who brought me up, like my mother, my college coaches and Chuck Daly and Phil Jackson, who were both like a father to me. It would also mean the world to my wife and children.”
One of the greatest rebounders in N.B.A. history, Rodman retired after playing 12 games for the Dallas Mavericks in the 1999-2000 season. In his prime, he won two championships with Daly’s Detroit Pistons (1989 and ’90) and three more with Jackson’s Chicago Bulls (1996-98).
But what Rodman accomplished on the court, including his seven rebounding titles and his seven-time selection as an N.B.A. all-defensive first-team player, was often overshadowed by his antics. The 6-foot-7, 228-pound Rodman had a nose ring for the ball, a pierced navel and a bleached head that was not always in the game.
The list of Rodman’s disciplinary problems is almost as long as the wingspan that helped him soar for 11,954 regular-season rebounds. As a result, Rodman and his marketing agent, Darren Prince, say that the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is keeping its distance.
“Dennis has been out of the N.B.A. for at least five years, and yet the Hall of Fame has not contacted him about being nominated,” said Prince, who is based in West Orange, N.J. “Dennis should be eligible this year.”
In lobbying for Rodman, Prince contacted John Doleva, the president and chief executive of the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. In a letter to Prince, Doleva said that Rodman was not eligible to be nominated because he had played professionally since retiring from the N.B.A. In the past six years, Rodman, still muscular, still covered in piercings and tattoos, played in the new American Basketball Association, the International Basketball League, Finland, Britain and Mexico.
Doleva wrote to Prince, “The clock really has not ‘started ticking’ towards his five-year retirement eligibility requirement and cannot until he is fully finished with professional paid basketball.”
Doleva added that “the clock had to be reset when both Earvin Johnson and Michael Jordan returned to the court professionally” after they retired.
No such clock exists for coaches.
Prince asked why the Hall was holding the A.B.A. and leagues abroad against Rodman.
Doleva replied, “Professional basketball is not defined specifically as the N.B.A.”
Though Rodman will eventually be nominated to the Hall of Fame, he is not sure if he will be elected. His lifestyle aside, there is another obstacle for him to clear on the path to Springfield. A power forward whose strength was defense, he averaged only 7.3 points a game.
“Was Bill Russell too one-dimensional?” Rodman said. “Russell wasn’t a scorer, but he won 11 championships with Boston and led those teams by averaging over 20 rebounds a game, which is unheard of.” (For the record, Russell averaged 15.1 points in his 13-year N.B.A. career.)
Rodman, who lives in Newport Beach, Calif., measured his qualifications against contemporaries like Charles Barkley (inducted into the Hall last year), Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone and John Stockton.
“They were all great players, but they never won a championship,” Rodman said. “So what’s the criteria here? Barkley was judged on the impact he had on the game, and so will the others. So if you’re going to judge me for the Hall, judge me the same way, for what I brought to the table in terms of basketball, and forget all the other stuff.”
Scottie Pippen, a teammate of Rodman’s during three championship seasons with the Bulls, said that casting a Hall of Fame vote for Rodman would be a no-brainer.
“The Hall of Fame is not built on offense, it’s built on greatness, and Dennis was one of the greatest I’ve ever played with,” Pippen said. “Maybe you could have made the argument before he joined the Bulls that he didn’t have the credentials. But with our team, night in and night out, he proved his greatness, and now his credentials speak for itself. In my mind, he’s a first-ballot Hall of Famer.”
Knicks Coach Isiah Thomas, who played with Rodman on two Detroit championship teams, agreed. “There is no question in my mind that Dennis belongs in the Hall of Fame,” Thomas said. “He was a member of five N.B.A. championship teams and an important element of the two most dominant teams of that era. He gave credibility to being a rebounder. He made it a job, that before him, no one really wanted.”
Rodman, a little-known player out of Southeastern Oklahoma State, began appearing on N.B.A. radar screens after strong predraft workouts in 1986, the year the Pistons selected him in the second round of the draft, 27th over all. He soon became a defensive dynamo and household name, making headlines with a rugged, no-holds-barred rebounding style that made him the baddest of the bad-boy Pistons on a team that also starred Thomas, Joe Dumars and Bill Laimbeer.
But Rodman’s temper, his penchant for partying and his unwillingness to adhere to team rules eventually cast him more in the role of Dennis the Menace.
During his N.B.A. career, he dated Madonna and married Carmen Electra. He separated his shoulder in a motorcycle accident, kicked a cameraman during a nationally televised game and dressed in a bridal gown to promote his first book. He was arrested twice in 1999, once in a squabble with Electra — they soon divorced — in Miami Beach, where he was filming the movie “Cut Away,” and again for disturbing the peace in Newport Beach.
He head-butted a referee, berated officials, threw objects on the court, received numerous suspensions and fines and once said that Larry Bird would be just another player if he weren’t white.
The Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said that Rodman’s bizarre behavior and eligibility should be viewed as separate issues.
“What he did on the basketball court qualifies him to be in the Hall of Fame,” said Abdul-Jabbar, who had 38,387 career points, more than any other N.B.A. player. “All the flamboyant off-the-court stuff is another story. Look at the facts: He was an integral player on a number of championship teams. When he left Detroit for Chicago, the Pistons stopped winning.
“When you add it all up,” Abdul-Jabbar said, “Rodman absolutely deserves to be in the Hall.”
Rodman has two children with his third wife, Michelle; they live separately in Newport Beach. He makes a living these days as a spokesman for Golden Palace.com, an Internet casino, and the Von Dutch watch company in Los Angeles. He also has licensing deals with Adidas, Upper Deck and Topps; owns a nightclub called Rodman’s Rehab in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; and is paid to make appearances and to play party host.
On Friday, Rodman’s television show, “Geek to Freak,” will be on HDNet, the TV network whose co-founder is Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
The next day, Rodman will suit up with former N.B.A. players for an exhibition against the Harlem Globetrotters in Las Vegas, where the N.B.A. All-Star Game will be played next Sunday.
“I consider myself a lucky guy,” Rodman said. “One of the things I’m most looking forward to is how I will dress on the day I make my Hall of Fame acceptance speech. But if it never happens, I’ll still be Dennis Rodman, and I’ll be more than satisfied with all of my championship rings and all the great memories that went with it.”

憑藉著優異的天賦與對籃球的執著，使得這位已年屆三十六， 身高僅
六呎八吋的NBA大前鋒，仍能以平均每場16.1個籃板（1997年）的傑出
成績，穩居NBA籃板王的寶座。同時，他也重 新定義了籃板球的價值

流；讓搶籃板球成為一種藝術。 他就是──丹尼斯羅德曼。
羅德曼出身於達拉斯的橡木崖國宅，幼年時家境貧困，雙親離異，
由母親雪莉獨力把羅德曼及兩個妹妹撫養長大。有趣的是，羅 德曼的
兩個妹妹黛博拉與金姆都是全美的大學明星籃球員，而且在高 中時就
已經成為明星球員；相對於當時的羅德曼則只是一個身高5呎11吋(比兩
個妹妹矮)，到處打混的青年。他當過洗車工、機場警衛， 甚至還因為
偷了機場禮品店的50只手錶而被送警察局(註：幸好羅德曼是 把手錶分
送朋友，可以全數找回而銷了案，否則就得坐牢了)。那時 候的羅德曼
在人們眼中只不過是一個因為打彈珠台時會扭來扭去而 被人們戲稱為
「小蟲」的傢伙，可能連羅德曼自己都想不到將來能進入 NBA，甚至
成為明星球員。
在羅德曼二十歲那一年，幸運之神終於降臨：羅德曼在短短一年
竟長高了九吋！這項突然來臨的驚喜也把羅德曼帶進籃球的殿堂。21歲
時進入庫克郡短期大學校隊，有平均每場13個籃板、得 分超過17分的
優異表現，只可惜小蟲在那兒打了一學期就被當掉了。後來羅德曼被網

──連續三年榮獲NAIA全美明 星球員，每場平均得分超過25分、抓下
15個籃板，兩次得到籃板 王榮銜，並在大三那年領導校隊奪得NAIA
總冠軍。
羅德曼在1986年選秀以第二輪27順位被活塞隊選中，從此展開他的
NBA生涯，只不過那時他已經25歲了。羅德曼在活塞隊時成為該隊有名
的「壞男孩」一員，並且遇到了他最尊敬的教練─查克‧達利 （註：

NBA總冠軍。1987年羅德曼在沙加 緬度邂逅了一名叫安妮‧貝克的
模特兒，兩人在次年生下了女 兒愛麗西絲(Alexis)，而後羅德曼與安妮
在1992年9月 結婚，但這樁婚姻僅維持了82天即宣告破裂。1993年，羅
德曼轉 到聖安東尼馬刺隊，並且在揭幕賽當天展示了他的第一個染髮
造型，但是由於與球團及球隊的不合，羅德曼在馬刺隊度過了他NBA生
涯中最不愉快的兩年。1994年，羅德曼結識了瑪丹娜，隨即陷入 情網
，成為當時轟動媒體的一樁大事，兩人在交往六個月後分手。 1995年
，馬刺隊把在該隊被視為問題人物的羅德曼送到公牛隊以交換中鋒普

年的兩座NBA總冠軍獎盃。
除了在籃球場上，羅德曼在演藝事業方面也有不錯的表現。他不但是
脫口秀節目的常客；同時也擔綱主持MTV頻道一個名為
「Dennis Rodman's World Tour」 的電視節目，他與尚克勞范達美主演的
電影「雙重火力」，已於1997年9月20日上映；而他的暢 銷自傳「盡情

才華洋溢的羅德曼並不以此滿足，更跨足職業摔角界，試圖將他在
籃球場上的狂野行徑帶上 摔角場。事實上羅德曼已於去年(1997年)三月
和WCW簽訂契約，以一百萬美金一年三次比賽為契約內容；雖然羅德曼
和他的搭檔在處女賽中落敗，但羅德曼靈巧及充滿娛樂性的動作的確贏得
不少肯定與掌聲，我們雖然無法預期羅德曼在摔角場上會有何表現，但是
無庸置疑的是：羅德曼是NBA中最適合摔角的一位選手了！
