Trinity Rodman et son père Dennis, légende NBA

Dennis Rodman, like many former athletes, had rather athletic children.

His daughter is now an American international soccer player, and she has spoken clearly about their relationship.

It took them a long time to form a bond, however small it may be…

What if, in a few years, the world of professional sports was dominated by the “children of”? Many athletes of the current generation already come from sporting families, but the children of former pros are not yet a majority.

This is why Marcus Thuram is also scrutinized in the French soccer team, since he is the worthy heir to a legend of the selection.

Except that among adolescents, especially across the Atlantic, many sons and daughters of stars dominate. For example, this summer, in the U17 basketball selection, Bryce James, Kiyan Anthony and Alijah Arenas will wear the Team USA jersey, like the All-Stars who serve as their fathers.

If they continue their progression, they will soon be walking on the NBA and will be at the head of a new movement reserved for hereditary talents.

When I first saw my dad on the sidelines, I don’t even know if I thought anything.

I wondered if this was the beginning of something, if he was going to come to more games. It was incredible to hear him yelling on the sidelines, to know that my second parent was so proud of me.

I’m me on the court, but I’m still shocked at how much we look alike when we play.

Trinity Rodman carries a heavy legacy with that last name.

While she was never very close to the former Bulls center, she happily admits that she took after him in terms of competitive spirit. She identifies with Dennis’s excesses on the court and sometimes off it.

In any case, in the family, there will be trophies that you don’t know what to do with.

Dennis Rodman, because he was too busy partying and living his life as an NBA superstar, took a long time to enter his daughter Trinity’s life.

Today she makes her name shine in the world, but seeks to make her own image…
