Dennis Rodman, who once wore a wedding dress to one of his book signings, will enter the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame today.

Rodman was known more for his antics off the court but he did find time to win several National Basketball Association championships on Michael Jordan-led teams.

Rodman and two-time Olympic gold medallist Chris Mullin headline the class of 2011 which will be honoured at a lavish ceremony at Symphony Hall.

“My job was to go out there and win ball-games, have a good time and take care of my family. As long as the people had a good time, that was my main objective,” Rodman said.

Mullin becomes the 11th member of the famed 1992 US Olympic Team to be enshrined as an individual.

The list also includes big men Artis Gilmore and Arvydas Sabonis; eight-time NBA champion Tom Sanders of the Boston Celtics; coaching great Tex Winter and late Reece “Goose” Tatum of the Harlem Globetrotters. Women’s star Teresa Edwards is also going in.

But the spotlight at yesterday’s news conference was on Rodman, who enjoyed the added attention.

“I shine every damn day,” Rodman said.

“This is for other people here that don’t get to see these famous people that’s going to come in this building tomorrow.”
