Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman is proof that flamboyance and discipline can live in the same body. The hair, the verbal and physical assaults on officials, the North Korea trips and his friendship with Kim Jong Un always threatened to drown out the craft, but two Defensive Player of the Year awards and a permanent spot on All-Defensive teams tell the real story. He became a legend by mastering the unglamorous arts of rebounding and defense, work most stars avoid. I read him as the ultimate role player elevated to icon, a man who understood that doing the dirty work brilliantly is its own kind of showmanship.
