"Rodman is known for his controversial behaviour, such as being a vegetarian " made me laugh. what's so outrageous about that?

- Vegetarianism is communist and anti-American, did you not get the memo?

Is this original work? RickK 03:36, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Why is written as if he died or something?

[edit] 47-35 to 72-10 swing

It said in there the Bulls with Rodman and Jordan returning from retirement improved the Bulls from 47-35 to 72-10. This statement is not accurate in what it implies. Michael Jordan came back the year before and was part of the 47-35 team. Rodman was the one who came in at the beginning of 1996.

[edit] Celebrity Mole

I've never watched the show so I don't know the rules on it. But is the line shocking many since he did not take a single note while participating on the show actually supposed to say "a single vote"? MK2 15:53, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

In the show they have to figure out who the mole is, the person who is paid to make the team lose money, they take Notes on the person they suspect, and he didn'take a single note.

[edit] Rodman in poorhouse?

I'm just wondering, is Denis Rodman in the poorhouse? I heard he's pretty much blown most of his money away, and is no longer the millionairre he once was. I am sure he is probably not bankrupt, but has he gone the way of Vanilla Ice and put himself from millionairre to nobody? I think this would be a valid inclusion in the article as to what has happened to Rodman in the last few years.

Well, considering that he's now hiring himself out to crass reality TV shows (Celebrity Mole, Celebrity Big Brother (UK))... quite possibly.

[edit] Clarification

Article says "However, his increasingly erratic off-court life, including a brief but heavily-publicized relationship with Madonna, and on-court antics, such as dying his hair," - which makes it sound like he dyed his hair whilst on court. I assume that isn't the case, but I don't really know anything about him.Can someone clarify the sentence? --bodnotbod 21:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Can someone add text regarding his friendship with Jack Haley, especially on the Spurs? San Antonio acquired Haley solely to keep Rodman in check.

[edit] "I don't give a shit"

Perhaps it should be added to the wikiquote page.. he loves saying it! :-D The magical Spum-dandy 14:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Movie.

As Bad As I Wanns Be was also a movie. And it was horrible.

[edit] How many children?

Is there someting wrong with my ears? I just heard on NBC he "fathered 126 children"? Anyone?

Never hit a stranger's kid - it might be your own. Aragorn2 19:09, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Mixed parentage"?

I'd heard that Rodman's father is black and his mother Filipina. Is this true or was the Filipina his step-mother? Has anyone heard something like this before?Jlujan69 00:04, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Are slated to play" games

Somebody who knows for sure if both the "upcoming" exhibition games that would have happened in the past month needs to update this.

StaticElectric 06:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Outrageous Behavior"

This is a fudge to get out of saying transvestite or cross-dresser. Any other man who wears women's clothing in public would be called either of those things, what's up with Rodman? He too NBA for that?

I can't believe there's no mention of his bisexuality in this article either! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.139.185.103 (talk) 11:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] he is a veggie

why isn't it said he is a vegetarian and a big promoter of green lifestyle?

[edit] A question

Shouldn't his alleged bisexuality be discussed. Manic Hispanic 03:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree. I was surprised that it wasn't even mentioned briefly in the article, considering that it's one of those "controversial" things that he's famous for. I've always thought that it was one of the more fascinating things about him, his alleged bisexuality that he has only alluded to a few times. I recall him making statements about sexual experiences he's had with men, but don't recall where. Perhaps it was on his MTV show? Gypsywitch13 00:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Maybe someone should rename Misc. to "Trivia"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.122.244.15 (talk) 13:05, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Height

I lived near Chicago during the "repeat Threepeat" while Rodman was there, and I seem to remember that they "corrected" what was initially an exaggerated height from the early part of his career, and listed him at 6'6". I can't find a source for what he was listed at as a Bull, but did find that ESPN and IMDB both have him at 6'6". [1] [[2]

Should the article be updated to reflect this?

[edit] Detroit Pistons

"In 1988, Rodman seemed to show even more star potential, crashing the boards more and defending better than before."

I'm not terribly familiar with basketball, and thus don't really know what the bit in bold means. Perhaps we could rephrase that in such a way that is clearer to the unknowledgable reader?Dxco (talk) 03:16, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
