"From 1991 on, he established himself as one of the best rebounders of all time, never failing to average at least 15.0 boards in six of the next seven years." - "Never failing" should not be used if an exception has to be included (in which case, he did fail in one of those years). Simply removing this part of the sentence such that it reads "From 1991 on, he established himself as one of the best rebounders of all time, averaging at least 15.0 boards in six of the next seven years." makes more sense.
It said in there the Bulls with Rodman and Jordan returning from retirement improved the Bulls from 47-35 to 72-10. This statement is not accurate in what it implies. Michael Jordan came back the year before and was part of the 47-35 team. Rodman was the one who came in at the beginning of 1996.
I lived near Chicago during the "repeat Threepeat" while Rodman was there, and I seem to remember that they "corrected" what was initially an exaggerated height from the early part of his career, and listed him at 6'6". I can't find a source for what he was listed at as a Bull, but did find that ESPN and IMDB both have him at 6'6". [1] [[2]
It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look and noticed lots of uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. There are also unreliable sources used as inline citations like IMDB and tv.com. Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 17:11, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In the third paragraph of the whole article is this sentence:
"He famously wore a wedding dress to promote his 1996 autobiography Bad as I Wanna Be."
The underlined part is hyperlinked to the wiki article of the 1998 film Bad As I Wanna Be: The Dennis Rodman Story, not the book. From a quick look, an article of the book does not exist on wikipedia. Wouldn't it be better to remove the hyperlink, instead of linking to a wrong article? 2001:999:580:7289:958F:955E:7803:6048 (talk) 10:44, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
