Chris Mullin, Dennis Rodman among 12 finalists for Basketball Hall of Fame
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Kudos, NBA, News,
The Basketball Hall of Fame named 12 finalists for inclusion into the select group of outstanding basketball players/contributors to the game. Chris Mullin, Dennis Rodman, Jamaal Wilkes, and Tex Winters are among the dozen selected candidates. Maurice Cheeks, Ralph Sampson, Teresa Edwards (five-time Olympian), Tara VanDerveer (Stanford women's coach), Dick Motta (former NBA coach), Herb Magee (Philadelphia University coach), Hank Nichols (college basketball referee), and (Golden State Warriors VP/GM) Al Attles. Dennis Rodman should be a no-brainer to get in amongst the players, but hopefully Mullin also gets in there as he was a stellar college basketball player and one of the top shooters/scorers in the NBA during his time in the league. In fact, he was also a member of the first Olympics Dream Team.

Dennis Rodman to have his jersey retired by the Detroit Pistons
Posted by Dennis Velasco Categories: Athletes, Kudos, NBA, News,
Dennis Rodman was and still is one of the biggest enigmas in sports. However, there is no questioning the validity in retiring his number 10 with the Detroit Pistons. He was 6'7" and barely weighed 200 pounds (210 to be exact), but was able to dominate the backboards on both ends of the court against the biggest centers and power forwards in the game. Rodman's desire to rebound is unmatched, even today, but how was it possible for such a thin player to do the things he did? He led the league in rebounding seven seasons in a row (1991-1998) and was named Defensive Player of the Year twice (1989-1991). As a personality of conflict and comedy, it's only appropriate that the jersey retirement takes place on April 1st this season.
