Dennis Rodman to Play Again

OK, so it’s only for one game (in Australia no less), and it’s a blatant publicity stunt. Still, the guy will make $80K for simply showing up. Nice work, if you can get it.

    AGAIN?

  • Jack Posted: Aug.31 at 12:38 pm
    He did a game here in the UK and pulled down 23 boards against my local team Newcastle, and Newcastle were playoff champions that year. We got a hell of a lot of publicity, though. More than basketball has ever got in this country as long as I’ve followed it.

    He’s gonna be doing this kind of sh*t until he’s 80. Assuming he lives that long. Which he probably won’t.

    This could be a good place for a player comparison. Never mind 23/24, what about Big Ben & The Worm? Who you got? Who you got?

    Rodman came out to Edmonton, Canada to make an appearance at a pro lacrosse game last year. He didn’t play any basketball, just was there. Hopefully by the time I have kids he’ll be taking bookings for birthday parties.

    Rodman, definitely. In fact, if you believe Wages of Wins, Rodman was the main reason, by far, for the brief reign of the pistons at the end of the 80′s.

    Forza, I got the Worm in a landslide, btw.

    forza, i think maybe zeke and joe d, among others, had a lil something to do with it too.

    For the 215th time, if Dennis Rodman doesn’t make the HOF I’m gonna burn it down.

    Didn’t he have to pay $80k to a guy in Vegas as a part of a settlement?

  • Anthony Verna Posted: Aug.31 at 2:46 pm
    Long time ago, wow, but my memory’s intact. http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2002/May-30-Thu-2002/news/18862324.html

    I’ll be holding a torch right next to ya, Myles. In fact, I vote we burn the f*cking place down anyway.

  • Blue Posted: Aug.31 at 3:44 pm
    Myles: If it took the Hall this long to put Dominique in there, I don’t think our kids will ever see Rodman inducted.

    here go the fights.

  • paul pierce Posted: Aug.31 at 8:57 pm
    I would be suprised if he lives to 60…

  • Rubens Posted: Sep.1 at 1:29 pm
    Myles, Russ: if the worm gets in the HOF, won’t the place end up burning itself down anyways?

  • Jericho Posted: Sep.1 at 1:34 pm
    He’ll probably live past 80… Karma won’t let him die that easy :)

    Rodman, at one stage, was probably the best rebounder in the history of rebounding, not called Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain. Word to Moses Malone.
