Dennis Rodman’s on-court accomplishments, though often overshadowed by his off-the-court eccentricities, still need very little introduction. An underrated basketball savant who may be both one of the greatest on-ball defenders and overall rebounders in the history of the NBA, Rodman was selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team seven times and was the back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year in 1990 and 1991.

Rodman earned more than $27 million during his career on the court, much of which came in the form of incentive-laden deals offered by notorious Chicago Bulls General Manager Jerry Krause.
