Dennis Rodman | Janitor

Nicknamed “the Worm”, Dennis Keith Rodman was born on May 13, 1961 in Trenton, New Jersey and is a former basketball player. Indeed, you will be surprised to know that a man who’s as big as Dennis Rodman used to be a janitor. Life had been tough for the NBA superstar back then. He grew up without a father, while his mother worked multiple jobs to make ends meet and support him and his two sisters.

At the tender age of 13, he started working as a janitor. At the time, Rodman resigned himself to working-class life.However, when he grew tall (he’s 6′ 7″ by the way), he decided to try his luck on basketball and joined Cooke County College. He impressed everyone with his 17.6 points and 13.3 rebounds before he failed his first semester. From here, the rest is history, as he started to receive credits for his talent.
