Dennis Rodman was also a part of the Pistons bad boys team. When it comes to rebounds, no one was better than him. His technique included the use of elbows, fists and putting his body on the line to get every rebound. Rodman wasn’t afraid of getting physical and often tried to get into opponent's head.

Nicknamed 'the worm', Rodman was a great defender winning Defensive Player of the year twice and had a total of five NBA titles, two with the Pistons and a three-peat with the Chicago Bulls.

He led the league in rebounds seven times (1992-1998) and made close to 12,000 rebounds averaging 13.1 each game.

Apart from his basketball career, Rodman was a big fan of wrestling and even appeared in the World Championship Wrestling during his suspension in 97 and feuded with the likes of Randy Savage and fellow Basketball star Karl Malone. He appeared in the squared circle on different occasions.
