NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders ever to play professional basketball, having played for the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Dallas Mavericks throughout his impressive career. A dedicated analyst of the game and a tenacious defender, Rodman led the National Basketball Association in rebounding for four consecutive years and helped lead his teams to five NBA championships in 1989, 1990, 1996, 1997 and 1998. He is a two-time NBA All-Star, two-time All-NBA Third Team, two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, seven-time NBA All-Defensive First Team, NBA All-Defensive Second Team and seven-time NBA Rebounding Champion.

Hall of Fame wide receiver and three-time Super Bowl champion Jerry Rice is widely regarded as the best wide receiver to ever play in the National Football League (NFL), and arguably the greatest player of all time. During his 15-year career with the San Francisco 49ers, Rice won three Super Bowls (Super Bowl XXIII in 1988, Super Bowl XXIV in 1989 and SB XXIX in 1994) and one Super Bowl MVP. He enjoyed three seasons with the Oakland Raiders, including a Super Bowl appearance and one season with the Seattle Seahawks before retiring in 2005. Rice was elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in January 2010, his first year of eligibility.

Two-time MLB World Series Champion Shane Victorino played in the major leagues for more than a decade before retiring in 2018. Over his nearly eight seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, Victorino’s accomplishments included becoming the first two-time winner of the All-Star Game’s “Final Vote” (the first Hawaiian-born positional player to be named to an All-Star team), receiving three consecutive Gold Glove Awards, and leading the Phillies to their first World Series Championship in nearly 30 years. In his three seasons with the Boston Red Sox, he won a second World Series Championship and his fourth Gold Glove Award.
