Why It’s Important: Rodman played 911 games in the NBA averaging 7.3 points per game and 13.1 rebounds per game. Rodman led the league in rebounding for seven straight seasons and is considered one of the greatest rebounders of all time.

Rodman was part of two NBA championship teams with the Detroit Pistons and three championship teams with the Chicago Bulls. Rodman was one of several Bulls players profiled in the docuseries “The Last Dance,” which aired on ESPN, a unit of Walt Disney Co DIS and on Netflix Inc NFLX.

Rodman has been active in the NFT community and owns pieces from projects including Cryptomories, Swampverse, My Pet Hooligan and Robotos. (Hear from Robotos artist Pablo Stanley on what Rodman owning a Robotos NFT meant to him.)

Rodman joins other athletes such as Shaquille O’Neal, who have been active in the NFT space and also launched their own collections.

Several current NBA players like Steph Curry, Josh Hart and Tyrese Haliburton are among the celebrity owners of Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs.
