Who did Rodman play for?
With all the Rodman talk lately, I got to thinking...When you think of Dennis Rodman, what team comes to mind? I've been going through my cards, and most of the recent cards he has been in depicts him with the Bulls.
He played seven seasons with the Pistons, winning two titles, making two All-Star teams, winning two rebounding titles and two Defensive Player of the Year awards. Four times 1st team All-Defense, once third team All-NBA.
Seems like a no-brainer, but...
He played three seasons with the Bulls, winning three titles, another first team All-Defense, three more rebounding titles. He was generally most famous during his tenure in Chicago.
So I'm not quite sure what to think. He also played two seasons with the Spurs, winning two more rebounding titles, a first and second team All-Defense honor and made third team All-NBA. But the Spurs didnt win then, which eliminates that team from contention (also his forgettable stints with the Lakers and Mavs).
I admittedly am not an unbiased observer. I was eight when the Pistons won their second title, and really got interested in basketball the next year when my hometown Bulls began their run. I was thinking it might be a generational thing...fans under age 30 would mostly remember Rodman as a Bull. But what do you think? Which team comes to mind?

It's hard. But definitely Bulls or Pistons. That's where most of his successes came from.

I always think of him as a Piston, because I was right around 7 or 8 when the bad-boys started their run.

The Bulls come to my mind when I think of Rodman. I didn't even think he was with the Pistons for that long off the top of my head.

Pistons. He only played for the Bulls for 3 years, while he played for the Pistons for 7.

I tend to think of him as a Bull because his years with the Pistons were slightly before my time (I started following basketball as a kid late in the 92-93 season).

I was young when he played for the Spurs (around 95?) and I just knew of him being the guy with the wild hair. So I remember him mainly with the Bulls, and then jumping around. Only reason I remember him being a Piston is watching flashbacks of the "bad boys" or whatever they were called.
