Dennis Rodman will never be another. That's good. And bad.
He worked his way from the Dallas projects to a NAIA school in Oklahoma to the Pistons on draft night to become one of the greatest personalities in the sport.
He gathered some. That upset others. Opened roads and bridges burned. But love him or despise him, Rodman made his mark.
His impact on basketball peaked on Friday when it was included in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. It was a great night. Large enough to carry two suits - the first includes a scarf of feathers lined cowboy hat and silver and later for the Chicago Bulls jacket colored lace cuffs out of a cupboard lounge singer in Las Vegas (fourth Elton John, a quarter of Austin Powers, fourth, Steven Tyler, and a quarter of George Washington). At least the jacket, said Pistons back.
Rodman was not the only dress to impress. A fan named Ernest Rinville wearing a wedding dress and veil outside Symphony Hall. Rodman caught the eye perhaps a memory of when she wore a dress to promote his autobiography. The worm gave autographs and fan two tickets to the ceremony.
"I just touched the greatest rebounder in the history of the NBA!" Rinville yelled, according to WSHM 3 TV in Springfield, Mass. That is something you will probably never hear again from a man wearing a wedding dress.
