While he was a dominant rebounder and defender, Dennis Rodman?is more infamous for his off-court exploits. Whether it was coloring his hair a flashy pink or dressing up as a bride, Rodman was always flamboyant. But, his larger-than-life persona had some ugly sides as well. While he has expressed doubt over his own sexuality, Rodman had 3 wives. Unfortunately for him, each instance ended in divorce. As a result, his relationship with his children has been rocky, to say the least.

However, that hasn’t stopped his kids with his third wife, Michelle Moyer, from excelling in their respective fields.

The ability to read plays is one the Chicago Bulls legend mastered en route to his seven straight rebounding titles, which also included stints in San Antonio, among others. In an exhibition game prior to the World Cup, it seemed like the US was going to face an unexpected draw. But Trinity turned it up late. Within 11 minutes, the young starlet had 2 quick goals that ended the match with a 2-0 win for the Americans.

Trinity takes hustle tips from Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman wasn’t an involved father for his kids with Michelle Moyer. While his son bore his namesake, the 5x NBA champion wasn’t particularly present, financially or emotionally, for his children. However, that hasn’t stopped the two from getting to know their father. While not personally, the two made a conscious effort to know Rodman, the basketball player.

As Trinity told the LA Times, “It?s hunting in front of the goal. It?s hunting when you lose the ball. And I think that?s a huge part of my game ? regains, tracking back, and being the first person to get a foot, a head, a knee, a shin on something that pops up.” She further explained how that hustle became her driving mantra.
