document: Pistons retires Rodman 's No. 10 jersey WASHINGTON , April 2 -LRB- Xinhua -RRB- - NBA team Detroit Pistons retires rebounds legend Dennis Rodman 's No. 10 jersey during the half time break when Pistons hosted Chicago Bulls on Friday . A '' `` Dennis Rodman 10 '' '' banner was slowly raised to the rafters . And Rodman showed his appreciation to the Pistons and the city of Detroit by holding a T-shirt with '' `` Thank you Detroit '' '' on it . During a pregame press conference , tears streamed down both his cheeks . '' `` It 's a surprise to me that my number is being retired , '' '' Rodman said . Rodman , nicknamed '' `` Worm '' '' was selected by Detroit in the second round of the 1986 draft out of Southeastern Oklahoma . Despite averaging just 7.3 points a game , he is regarded as an all-time great because of his ability to guard point guards or centers and grab rebounds at both ends of the court . The two-time defensive player of the year and two-time All-Star set an NBA record by leading the league in rebounds over seven straight seasons . His controversial antics went well beyond his body piercings , tattoos and numerous wild hair-dye colorings , including run-ins with referees , opponents and even teammates as he became the prototype for a Pistons lineup that became known as the '' `` Bad Boys '' '' . '' `` It 's a well-deserved honor for Dennis , '' '' said Dumars , the Pistons ' president of basketball operations . '' `` He was one of the great Bad Boys . '' ''
