Dennis Rodman reveals reason for missing ceremony
Bulls Legend Dennis Rodman was unable to make it to the United Center on Friday night where the celebration for the first-ever Bulls’ Ring of Honor was being held. He sent a video message to his fans and supporters explaining the reason for his absence and also displaying his heartful urge to be present there.
The video of Rodman explaining his circumstances is receiving a lot of love from all the Bulls fans worldwide. Rodman stated that poor weather conditions were responsible for his absence and that if he were Superman, he would have been there in ten minutes.
Dennis thanked all the fans and his former teammates who have been there for him. He showed special gratitude to the Hall of Famer coach Phil Jackson and requested that fans keep him in their hearts. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were also not present at the event.
Dennis Rodman’s achievement with Bulls
Dennis Rodman, alongside the great Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, is a player who has attained legendary status with the Chicago Bulls. He was a key player for the Bulls in his prime and served as the main defensive anchor, able to completely shut down any player he wanted. Rodman has five NBA championship rings, three of which came in his run with the Bulls.
He was a defensive menace and was named to the NBA All-Defensive Team seven times. Rodman has many individual accomplishments that make him a true NBA legend. However he did not win many with the Bulls except for the Rings. This was partly due to him going off the rails in his personal life where he ended up dating the superstar Madonna. However, he got his life back together and carried on with his career after which he soon retired.
