Dennis Rodman to have his jersey retired by the Detroit PistonsDennis Rodman was and still is one of the biggest enigmas in sports.

He was 6'7" and barely weighed 200 pounds (210 to be exact), but was able to dominate the backboards on both ends of the court against the biggest centers and power forwards in the game. Rodman's desire to rebound is unmatched, even today, but how was it possible for such a thin player to do the things he did? He led the league in rebounding seven seasons in a row (1991-1998) and was named Defensive Player of the Year twice (1989-1991).
