Defensive Style: He employed unique tactics, including aggressively fronting players in the post and using physical play to disrupt opponents.

Despite never averaging at least one steal and one block per game in his career, Rodman's impact on defense, particularly his elite rebounding and versatile coverage, was widely recognized and contributed significantly to his teams' success.
