Comedian Whitney Cummings Explains Why 5x NBA Champion Is Her Favorite Athlete

Dennis Rodman has a wild personality---that's a given, with his bold hair and electric personality. But his intense game made him a standout figure in basketball. That's what makes The Worm comedian Whitney Cumming's favorite NBA champion. 

His technicolor hairdos — sometimes shocking and always unique — even inspired celebrities like Whitney Cummings. The comedian, known for creating 2 Broke Girls, admired Rodman’s unapologetic individuality and, in 2020, went for her own bold look in his honor.

But her colorful experiment had a heartfelt purpose: during the pandemic, she wanted to help her hairstylist, who had lost significant income. She opted for the priciest styles, first going pink in August and then vibrant blue a few months later.

Rodman’s hair wasn’t just style; it symbolized his intense, defensive grit. Cummings loved that Rodman could make defense glamorous. On the court, Rodman did whatever it took — diving, defending fiercely, and often outsmarting opponents — to dominate the game.

His defensive prowess helped the Detroit Pistons win titles in 1989 and 1990 and was crucial to the Chicago Bulls’ three-peat in the late ‘90s.

His nonconformist style continues to influence, encouraging players and fans alike, including Cummings, to celebrate their unique identities.
