Dennis Rodman Feels Players Should “Bow Down” and Other Crazy Rodman Moments

R. Elizabeth C. Kitchen

The NBA lockout is taking its toll on everyone and it seems Dennis Rodman, former NBA player and Hall of Famer, is also on edge about it. He feels the players should "bow down" and just end it already. He feels the owners are responsible for the lockout, but thinks the players need to be the ones to concede and settle it already.


"I just think that...the players should bow down....In 1999 we (were locked out) and missed half the season," said Rodman. He wasn't done though. He went on to say, "Most players don't give a [expletive] about the game. They want the money and all of a sudden they want unity. I'm not taking the owners' side. I think the players should look at themselves."


Dennis Rodman has never been known to be conservative. When he played for the Chicago Bulls, he was splashed across every tabloid printed. However, he is honest and does not dilute his feelings at all.


On the subject of Dennis Rodman, it is always fun to look back at his antics throughout the years. He kept fans entertained both on and off the court.


The Infamous "Fashionably Incredibly Late" Birthday Bash

July 2011 highlighted many things, but most important to Dennis Rodman was his choice to finally celebrate his 50 th birthday. We should mention that his birthday is actually in May. In true Rodman style, he showed up fashionably, incredibly late and had product placement galore going on. His bash also involved enough calories to feed a small country. During his bash, he told the crowd, "we're in Las Vegas! The only city in the world where you can do whatever you want." And, he certainly did.


27 Dresses

No, not the movie, but likely Rodman's closet. If you paid any attention to Rodman in the 1990s, you saw him in a dress at some point. He either stepped out in a suit that resembled a Halloween costume, or a dress that one of the many women who were always on his arm would never even wear. Regardless of his wardrobe choice, he always wore it with confidence.


Somewhere Over the Rainbow

This probably best describes Rodman's hair over the years. Every time he stepped out onto the court, he had a variety of different colors and patterns in his hair. Some speculated he did it to distract the other team, but as the world got to know him, it seems that this was just him. He was very much a "love me, or leave me" kind of guy. He never thought twice about being himself.


Tattoos and Piercings

Rodman was no stranger to body art. In an interview with Anderson Cooper he was asked about why he chose all that he did. Rodman responded, "When you lose your family, when your lose your wife or girlfriend and your family and kids, stuff like that, you would try to find any avenue to alleviate the pain." It seems there is far more to Rodman than most knew. He was more than just a guy craving media attention.


Dying Young

"If I die young, everybody's going to say they saw it coming," said Dennis Rodman. With this quote he was talking about his high-partying, fast-living lifestyle. Back in his NBA days, however, how many of you would have been surprised?
