It is a happy day for me as a sports fan and basketball junky because Dennis Rodman was named to the Basketball Hall Of Fame. I did not think it would happen but it did and I am happy for Rodman. The “Bad Boy” of the NBA.

Along with Rodman, also named was to the Hall Of Fame was Tex Winter, Artis Gilmore, Harlem Globetrotter great Reece “Goose” Tatum, Tom “Satch” Sanders, Russian great and former Portland center Arvydas Sabonis, Chris Mullin, ladies head coach Tara VanDerveer and finally Herb Magee.

But I am most happy for Rodman. Because he was not a high flying slam dunking scoring champ. He was a GREAT rebounder. One of the greatest rebounders of all times. Yes he was different. Very different. But he got paid to grab rebounds. And Dennis Rodman did just that for the Pistons and other teams during his colorful career.

It will be interesting to see his speech at the ceremony when he formally gets in the Hall. I want to see what he wears and what he is going to say. Dennis Rodman in the Hall Of Fame. That’s great!!   Gordon Curvey

U-Conn beats Butler 53-41 in a very very boring game. It was one of worst title games of all times. And announcer Jim Nantz needs to be replaced by Gus Johnson! Nantz brings nothing to the table as a announcer. More about game via espn.com by clicking here.
