Lived Bulls in the 1990s.  Even my daughter who was 3 remembers watching the games.  When they signed Rodman after the first three-peat, it was clear they would be the best team ever.  With his elite rebounding and defense, I doubt there was any player in any sport that was a more perfect fit to an already great team.  When the game was over and there was time on the clock, Dennis would start going for a 3 pointer.  The whole stadium would pull for him.   I don't know if he ever made one but it sure added some fun drama at the end of a blowout.

Weirdly enough (and what wasn't about Rodman...) 91-92 season in Det he made 32 of 101 three's -  but never was close to that before or after.

He was a more rounded player with Detroit.  Him and Salley.  With Chicago it was rebounds.  Get the rebound and kick the ball out.  When he scored, it was usually an afterthought when he realized he was undefended under the basket.  That and Tenacious D for which Jack Black should thank him.  After the Bulls heyday, basketball never held the same interest for me.  It was just guys trying to force a ball through a hole thereafter.
