AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — The Detroit Pistons plan to retire Dennis Rodman’s No. 10 during a halftime ceremony later this season.

Rodman, the eccentric rebounding specialist who helped the Pistons win NBA titles in 1989 and 1990, will be honored April 1 when the Pistons host the Chicago Bulls, a team Rodman won three championships with from 1996 to 1998.

Detroit rookie Greg Monroe currently wears No. 10 and will be allowed to keep doing so.

Rodman averaged 8.8 points and 11.5 rebounds in 549 games with the Pistons. He was the league’s defensive player of the year in 1990 and 1991.

I am surprised with this, because I would think Chicago would be the ones to retire him, after all he did win more titles with the Bulls than any other team. He was just known as a "BAD BOY" in Detroit. In Chicago he really was defined as a player & made a name for himself although he was already known.

a lot of teams in the league need a rodman on their team…brings toughness, no cares for anyone who gets in his face whether it be a pg all the way to center…and his rebounding numbers were just absolutely ridiculous considering he was 6’7-6’8

 I wouldn’t say he wasn’t a defined player in Detroit in his last 2 seasons he averaged 18.7 and 18.3 Rebounds. Which were his two highest rebounding seasons. 

But yes, I would of expected them retiring his jersey in Chicago first but than again there is more than a few jerseys to retire on that team haha
