Corey Charles Michael Rodman (born June 3, 1994) is an American professional basketball player and point guard for the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Considered to be one of the league's best three-point-shooters and heavily renowned for his footwork and shooting accuracy, Rodman is a three-time NBA champion, back-to-back NBA Cup winner, two-time NBA Finals MVP, four-time NBA Most Valuable Player, and is thus considered to be one of the best NBA players in history. The son of five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman and Catherine, Princess Royal, a supermodel, actress, and member of the British royal family, Rodman initially played on the collegiate level for the University of California, Los Angeles, with whom he won the 2013 and 2014 NCAA championships.

Selected as the nineteenth overall pick by the Chicago Bulls, his father's former team, Rodman achieved an impressive start to his career as he led the Chicago Bulls to their first championship since 1998, thereby winning the NBA Rookie of the Year award while also leading the season as its top scorer. In the following year, Rodman led the Chicago Bulls to a second consecutive title by defeating the Golden State Warriors in a rematch of the previous final bout. However, a subsequent decline in overall performance, during which the Chicago Bulls were twice defeated 4-0 by the Milwaukee Bucks in the playoffs, saw Rodman eventually depart the team for the Golden State Warriors at the end of the 2019-20 season. In his first season with the Golden State Warriors, during which he made the All-NBA First Team for the first time, Rodman led the team to the conference finals where they later lost 3-4 to the Los Angeles Clippers. In the following season, where he once again led as the season's top scorer, the Golden State Warriors won their sixth championship title by defeating the Boston Celtics 4-2. Meanwhile, he also helped lead the Golden State Warriors to victory in the inaugural season of the NBA Cup, defeating the Indiana Pacers in the finals, followed by a second consecutive cup title afterward, for which they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks. On the international level, as a member of Team USA, Rodman achieved back-to-back victories at both the 2019 and 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cups, thereby making the United States the first country to achieve a four-peat, as well as the 2020 and 2024 Summer Olympic Games.

A member of a prestigious sporting family, in addition to being the son of the former professional basketball player and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman, Rodman is also the half-brother of American professional soccer player Trinity Rodman, a cousin of four-time FIFA World Cup winner and former American-English professional footballer Sir William Carter, and the nephew of former world No. 1 tennis players Prince Nelson and Steffi Graf.

Personal Life

A member of a prestigious sporting family, in addition to being the son of the former professional basketball player and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman, Rodman is also the half-brother of American professional soccer player Trinity Rodman, a cousin of four-time FIFA World Cup winner and former American-English professional footballer Sir William Carter, and the nephew of former world No. 1 tennis players Prince Nelson and Steffi Graf. In the meantime, despite being the only son of Catherine, Princess Royal, a member of the British royal family, Rodman is neither eligible for a princely title nor is he included in the line of succession given that he was born out of wedlock. Nonetheless, through his mother, he is the half-brother of English model Georgia May Jagger, and through his father, the half-brother of fellow basketball player DJ Rodman and soccer player Trinity Rodman, with the latter currently playing for the National Women's Soccer League side Washington Spirit and the United States women's national team.

Despite frequent comparisons by media outlets to his father, a highly celebrated NBA star of the 1990s well known for his extravagant lifestyle and antics, particularly off the court, Rodman, who began his NBA career in earnest in 2014, has otherwise come to be known for his more comparatively "reserved" and "less flashy" persona compared to the former. During a 2022 interview with ESPN, regarding the frequent comparisons to his superstar father, Rodman said, "In the end, whether I like it or not, as long as my surname is Rodman, the media is always going to run with these comparisons between us 24/7 even if we are fundamentally two different people anyway. At the same time, being Dennis's son doesn't mean I have to be like Dennis Rodman but rather myself with my own identity, interests, and whatnot". In this, despite their blood ties and similar basketball careers, Rodman once revealed in a separate interview that growing up, he rarely saw his father and was instead mostly raised by his mother, through whom he subsequently came to meet the legendary tennis superstar couple Prince Nelson and Steffi Graf, both of whom he had since credited for instilling in him a deep sense of professionalism early on, stating, "When you look at what they have achieved in tennis, it's clear that they had achieved so much and were very successful as among the world's top athletes, something that I wanted to be myself too when I was just a young kid".
