Yeah NBA. They did the right thing. "The Worm" will turn into a Hall of Famer (I hope) in August of 2011.
Baseball Hall of Fame, farce. Until Pete Rose is in there the MLB Hall is illegitimate. I am not a "Charlie Hustle" fan. But the all time hits leader, c'mon. If they want to have an additional "Hall of Shame", then Pete could be in there also.
Football Hall of Fame, farce. Kickers should wear dresses, so they don't get in. Well linemen say quarterbacks should also wear dresses and plenty of QBs got in. Kickers are odd so they don't get in. Well until the Guy gets in the NFL Hall is a farce. Ray Guy should be in with his odd teammates (like "The Snake" Stabler should be also). Ray not only changed games with his punting, he also controlled and won games. No I'm not a Raiders fan, though I do respect them for being the first wild card team to win it all. At least Jan Stenerud, field goal kicker, got in. Ray was in more Pro Bowls than Jan was.
'Nough said on that.
So the NBA will induct Dennis Rodman into their Hall of Fame even though he wore a dress instead of a tux. Remember? It was a beautiful white wedding dress. Dennis, a tattoo artist's meal ticket. Dennis, gambling addict. Dennis Outrageous. Even Michael Jordan (who barely snuck into the Hall) and Phil Jackson could not control the court jester "Worm". This guy was unbelievable. Talk about a nose for the ball. He was 6 '7 ", big compared to you and me; not big under the hole though. There are not a whole lot of guys with 7.3 points per game in the NBA Hall. That's Dennis's career average in points scored. averaged over 15 rebounds per game. Seven times he averaged over 5 offensive rebounds per game, giving his team another chance to score.Twice he averaged over 18 'bounds a game. Career average over 13. Since 1998, when Rodman retired, one time a guy averaged over 15 rebounds per game in a season.Dennis almost did it seven years in a row! (He had a 14.9 that ruined it.) Tell you what, they say MJ doesn't win his six titles without Scotty Pippen. Well, that may well be. But "Air Jordan" might just say that he couldn't have done it without the out-of-control "Worm" for 3 years.
Well deserved Dennis. I didn't think the NBA would do what was right.
NBA you are legitimate …
… and also the best to bet on. If you got nerves of steel. "I'm ahead, I'm behind, I'm ahead, I'm behind." And a 20 point lead is nothing.
