I got to thinking. Like him or hate him, Dennis Rodman was quite a unique individual. I have limited access to the NBA these days (no pay TV and a fairly mild internet connection) and I was wondering if anyone currently in the NBA has taken the mantle as the next Dennis Rodman? I'm talking about things like the crazy hair and myriad of tattoos - things like that.
Errrr just about every player in the league these days.

RonRon would have to take the cake as the fruitiest "Active" (but not so sure how much longer that will apply) NBA Player... On court (fights, trying out for the US Shot Put team by hurling Tv monitors on court...), off court (domestics, whatnot), the whole spectrum... I mean the guy forced the Pacers to give him "personal time" to help promote an album he produced - and he repaided them with the Malice at the palace...
Honorable Mentions To: Gilbert Arenas (harmless - but still wacky), Stephen Jax, Just off the top of my head... Sam Mitchell needs to get a mention as well - any coach that drives their franchise player out of town by trying to strangle him on a massage table (even if it is a pile of excreta like V.C.) has to make the list...

Who was that white guy who played last season who was covered in tattoo's and had crazy hair? Had awesome hops as well. I thought he played in the sophmore/rookie game or entered the dunk comp either last year or the year before. Haven't seen him at all though this year. I think he played for Denver or Memphis????

I reckon he wore number 15 for Denver. I think I have some video of him in a dunk contest.

He was the guy who said "It is time for this Birdmand to fly" in the dunk contest and then proceeded to brick 11 dunks in a row

#15 for Denver is Carmelo.
I reckon he wore an obscure number (like 82, or something crazy), but I don't know for sure.

I'm pretty sure he wore number 12 when he played for the Hornets and as far as I can remember he wore the same number for the Nuggets.

It was more of a personal joke between me and Lloyd but for those who want to know, he wore number 12.
also the dunk comp when he stuffed JR Smith up and then when it was his turn JR returned the favour, that was classic.

Scott Pollard...and a blast from the past...Cherokee Parks. Artest is awesome, love that 'im about to crack' look he has.

That dunk contest was funny as hell. Charles Barkley and co thought so too. You could also see Iverson, Lebron, Marion (and some other all stars) absolutley wetting themselves.
