JAKARTA - Dennis Rodman will always be known as the most controversial player in basketball history. There are many anecdotes about this player who accompanied Michael Jordan at the Chicago Bulls. What are they? The following is a summary VOI from MARCA.
Nicknamed 'The Worm'
Dennis Rodman was nicknamed 'the worm' (The Worm) because of his athletic ability and intensity of brutality. One night, he was found with a gun in his hand and he believed that that night was the night that the old Rodman went and the new Rodman was born.
"I found him on the second floor of 'The Landin Strip', a Detroit strip club. He was holding a gun and he was going to shoot it. I told him how stupid he was," said journalist Craig Saiger.
A complicated love affair with Madonna
The man who often changed hair color was sold by the Pistons to the Spurs and became a defensive specialist with incredible rebound points. However, those times were overshadowed by the complicated relationship with pop artist Madonna.
"Madonna told me if I got her pregnant she would give me 20 million dollars. I was playing in Las Vegas when she said she was ovulating (releasing an egg from the ovary, usually between day 3 and day 17 after menstruation) so I said, 'I'll be there in five hours', "remembers Rodman.
Never spoke to Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen
As it turned out, Dennis Rodman never spoke to Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen outside the basketball court. Despite winning three titles together, the trio's relationship off the pitch is not the same. Pippen said, "I've never spoken to Dennis in my life, so I don't think it's anything new."
Rodman himself felt that he prioritized team victories rather than socializing with other teammates.
"Michael is a points scorer, Scottie is the Robin and I did the 'dirty job'. We complemented each other very well on the pitch. It was fun but for three years I didn't say a word to Jordan or Pippen off the pitch."

Broken penis three times
At the end of his career Dennis Rodman began acting in several films that can be said, is not clear. It was during this period that Rodman had an accident that broke his penis.
First, when he was at a party with a woman on a boat. When he went to the cabin and tried to ride the ship, his partner asked Rodman to jump. He jumped at will and broke his penis until he was bleeding profusely.
The second incident occurred after the Houston Rocket game. A woman flies miles to have dinner with Rodman. But when they met, the woman took out several books on tantric sex (the art of making erotic love from ancient meditation) and told Rodman to get ready to make love. "I can't say no. He broke it (penis) like a nut," said Rodman.
The third was a wild night at a hotel with his girlfriend. It was not clear how the incident happened. However, when Rodman went to the hospital to ask for help, all the doctors were excited and instead called almost all the nurses to take pictures and ask for autographs.
"They didn't understand how my penis broke ... I just wanted to take medicine," said Rodman.
Good friends with Kim Jong-Un
Rodman has a special relationship with the president of North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, who is very fond of basketball. A visit was made by Rodman when the North Korean leader had a birthday. In recent years, he has even offered to mediate between North Korea and the United States after Donald Trump became president.
"I can help improve relations between countries (North Korea and America)," said Rodman.
