Speaking of the NBA's famous thorns, then the one who has to be mentioned is Rodman, as the most rebellious player in the NBA, Rodman has done a lot of things that make teammates, head coaches, and even the president of the NBA headache. For example, after being sent off by the referee on the court, he openly threw his shoes on the field, changed to the No. 70 shirt to protest silently after he once wanted to wear the No. 69 jersey and was banned by the league; during the Bulls, he went to the nightclub the day before the game, and then arrived at the stadium near the beginning of the game... These things undoubtedly made Rodman the "chaos demon" image in the league, he made the head coaches of countless teams in the league crazy, and even became a locker room poison at one point, almost no ball to play.
The reason why Rodman is so cynical is undoubtedly a big reason for his outlook on life, he looks down on those who talk to him, but even if Rodman has such a "big boss, his second oldest" personality, there are three people in the league who can make him obedient, do you know who they are? How did they get such an "asshole" to work hard for them?
The first person, no doubt, was Rick Mahon. Mention this name old fans are estimated to have the impression that he was the core member of the famous Pistons Bad Boy Army. At that time, Thomas, Lambir and the like, the reason why they were able to do all the evil things in the alliance, but the opponent did not dare to make a mistake, was because there was such a fierce general sitting in the middle of the military tent. Mahone is a well-known thug of the Pistons, full of flesh and gangster origins, almost no one dares to provoke. And the reason why Rodman served him was not because of his background, but because he was Rodman's NBA mentor!
As we all know, Rodman only entered the league at the age of 25, and the first team he joined was the Pistons. At that time, Rodman's technology was rough, and he could be eliminated by the NBA at any time. It is Mahon, who instilled a tough guy consciousness in him off the court, stood out for him on the court, and cultivated Rodman's unsparing personality, so that Rodman gradually gained a foothold in the league and even got the best defensive player. Rodman just entered the league and averaged only 4.3 rebounds per game, and by the fifth season, the average number of rebounds per game had reached 18.7, behind which Was Behind Mahone's cultivation of him. Rodman is a player with a very heavy temperament, and he is quite convincing to Mahone, the big brother.
The second five-body thrower that Rodman admired was Chuck Daly, head coach of the Pistons Bad Boys. In Rodman's own words, if he was a dog, Daly was the one who released him from the cage. Rodman experienced countless head coaches in his life, including the famous Zen master Phil Jackson, but the only one he admired most was Daley. Rodman ran away from home from his father, resulting in Rodman not feeling his father's love, and Daley was the first person to give him this feeling, as mentioned earlier, Rodman is not optimistic about his NBA future, it is Daley who told him how to become a professional player, Rodman is also grateful for this.
The third person rodman admired was the famous Jordan. If Mahone is like a mentor to Rodman, Daley and his relationship is like father and son, Jordan is the only one who can make Rodman admire as a brother. Rodman's admiration for Jordan still originated in the Pistons period, when the Bulls and pistons met repeatedly in the playoffs, and Rodman was impressed by Jordan's skills and admired his attitude of not accepting defeat and not dying on the court. Then, in the '94-95 season, Rodman left the Spurs, when no one in the league wanted the locker room cancer, and Jordan said to the Bulls management, "I want this person, I'm responsible for the locker room." After Rodman heard about this, he was also very grateful to Jordan, after all, he helped him find a job, so Rodman was also quite hard at the Bulls, becoming an important core of the last three crowns. （ikuet）
