Of the five teams that former Chicago Bulls star forward Dennis Rodman played for, who are significant teammates that most fans would now forget about?

In honor of his feature on night two of the documentary series featuring the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls team called “The Last Dance”, we’re taking a deeper look back into the entire NBA career of forward Dennis Rodman. The Last Dance premiered with parts one and two on April 19, largely focusing on former Bulls forward and Hall-of-Famer Scottie Pippen.

In parts three and four of The Last Dance, the 1980’s and early 1990’s Detroit Pistons teams (coined the “Bad Boys”) will be the a large part of the overall focus. Rodman is particularly pertinent in that discussion since he started his career with the Pistons and those Bad Boys teams that won two titles just prior to the Bulls taking hold of the Eastern Conference, and really the entire NBA.

Rodman played for the Pistons starting in the 1986-87 season, and ending following the 1992-93 campaign. He would land with the San Antonio Spurs for the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons, but it wasn’t the best fit. This is part of the reason why he would land alongside Pippen, shooting guard Michael Jordan, and the Bulls prior to the start of the 1995-96 regular season.

He had a three season long tenure in the Windy City, in which the Bulls won three titles in each run with Rodman in the mix. The last two teams that Rodman would play for prior to hanging ’em up officially following the 1999-00 season were the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks.

What were the teammates that Rodman had with each of the five teams he played for that most fans don’t think of when he comes to mind now in this day and age?

Here’s a look into three teammates that many may have forgot about during the accomplished and underrated career of Hall-of-Fame former Chicago Bulls 6-foot-7 forward Dennis Rodman.
