I first heard his name in my junior year in Arkansas.
He gave me hope, and I realized that I didn't necessarily have to go to a prestigious school to be drafted by the NBA.
As long as someone possesses talent and dedication, dreams can still be achieved.
Dennis Rodman, his incredible journey started in a slum in Dallas, Texas, to Oklahoma State University and finally entered the Basketball Hall of Fame.
He had both talent and dedication.
I joined the league a year later than Dennis; we were rivals, then enemies, and finally teammates.
We hated the Bad Boys, and they hated us; then we mutually hated the Trail Blazers and Ah Gan.
At that time, the Pistons constantly defeated the Bulls in the playoffs; their tactics were disgraceful, but I greatly admired his defense and rebounding ability.
At the moment the ball left the hand, he knew where it was going and could snatch the rebound from players five inches taller and fifty pounds heavier (except for Ah Gan).
