"She does have that swag" - Jalen Rose's daughter likens Trinity Rodman's style to father Dennis Rodman
Trinity Rodman, daughter of former five-time NBA HOFer Dennis, has been making waves in soccer and fashion like her father. American sports analyst and former professional basketball player Jalen Rose’s daughter, Mariah, commended her for her great taste in clothes and a terrific career in a male-dominated sport.
Rose posted a TikTok video on X on Monday to heap praise on Trinity Rodman's achievements. She also commended Trinity for pulling off looks, likening her fashion statements to her father's, a known outlandish wearer who captivated fans with his look during his NBA career.
“She has that swag that Dennis Rodman had,” Rose said in the TikTok video. “Trinity Rodman is by far one of the coolest athletes in the spots world … So yeah, on and off the field, you better recognize that Trinity Rodman is that girl.”
“On the field, her play style is electric. She is known for her speed and agility and basically being able to create opportunities to score out of nothing,” Rose said.
Rose showed outfits Trinity Rodman wore to showcase how she got her father’s fashion taste. She also cited Trinity’s current career path as she was on track to lead the Washington Spirit to the National Women's Soccer League (NSWL) title before losing to Orlando Pride, whose franchise picked up their first NWSL championship, in the finals.
The final match was the second title Rodman was battling for the NSWL title in the last four years. Rodman was key in the Spirit’s 2021 championship run after delivering the assist that allowed Washington to take the lead on the way to the NSWL trophy.
Rodman has since been revered as a top women’s soccer player. She again led the United States Women’s Soccer Team to their fifth Olympic medal in the Paris Olympics, scoring three goals in the tournament.
