Before every player in the NBA had tattoos, Dennis Rodman did. Before fantasy basketball put a premium on rebounding, Dennis Rodman did. Before Kanye West rocked leather pants, Dennis Rodman did. Dennis Rodman did not fit the mold, look the part, or play the role of a superstar, but back in the 90s he may’ve been the league’s biggest attraction not named Jordan. He filled the stands he jumped into, challenged social norms, and paired a blue collar game with multi-color hair dye. The Converse AS 91 released near the peak of his career and controversy; a season that saw his fourth ring, sixth straight rebounding crown, and a cameraman kick. We remember these kicks most. Bring ‘em back!
