Rumors swirled at the time that Rodman learned of a teammate sleeping with his wife, which ultimately led to the meltdown. It’s a sad story, and one that’s entirely complete. In his autobiography, The Worm said, “I killed the Dennis Rodman that had tried to conform to what everybody wanted him to be.” In February of 1993, Dennis Rodman showed up to the Detroit Pistons practice facility at the Palace of Auburn Hills with a shotgun. Here’s a look at just some of the wild things he’s been a part of, both on and off the court… He brought a shotgun to a Pistons practice. Does he contradict himself? All the time, but Whitman would have loved Dennis Rodman, and the NBA world would be a lot more dreary and monotonous if he never blossomed before our eyes on Detroit’s Auburn Hills court, then added his traveling carnival act to the second three-peat of Michael Jordan’s reign.

A true renaissance man of zany who actually contains multitudes. No, Dennis is that unique flavor who defies description or category. His craziness wasn’t just relegated to the dyed hair, the piercings, the cross-dressing, the Madonna dating, the Carmen Electra marrying or the copious amounts of partying he purportedly participated in both during and after a Hall-of-Fame NBA career.

Dennis the Menace was a distinctive individual on and off the court. A fitting caption for arguably the craziest, most talented rebounder the NBA has ever seen. Bad As I Wanna Be was the title of Dennis Rodman’s 1996 autobiography.
