The Worm proved to be a <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/dennis-rodman-might-actually-be-the-greatest-rebounder-in-nba-history\/\">tough rebounder and fearless defender,<\/a> but his interests stretched far beyond the basketball court. Over the years, Rodman seemed to find himself in all sorts of unusual situations, making headlines along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those, it seems, happened in 1998 at a Pearl Jam concert. <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/has-dennis-rodman-ever-been-to-jail\/\">Dennis Rodman<\/a> apparently wanted to get a bit closer to the action and joined the band on stage. His rock and roll cameo lasted about 45 minutes and could have gone even longer if the crew hadn't cut off his microphone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dennis-rodman-made-a-name-for-himself-as-a-talented-nba-star\">Dennis Rodman made a name for himself as a talented NBA star <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dennis Rodman&#039;s Lockdown Defensive Performances!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XBoVDIvOrfI?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/dennis-rodmans-drive-to-becoming-one-of-the-greatest-defenders-and-rebounders-in-nba-history\/\">Dennis Rodman,<\/a> your mind will probably jump to some of his more unconventional behavior. When push comes to shove, though, he was a pretty talented basketball player. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although<a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/dennis-rodman-got-his-rebounds-on-the-court-and-some-steals-off-it\/\"> Rodman wasn't much of an athlete<\/a> growing up, everything changed after an unexpected growth spurt. With his new-found height, he decided to give basketball another show. The forward then spent a semester in junior college before joining Southeastern Oklahoma State's squad. There, he emerged as a legitimate talent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1986, Rodman was ready to take the next step up the ladder and turn pro. He joined the Detroit Pistons as the 27th-overall pick of the draft and, thanks to his fearless interior play, fit right in with the Bad Boys. The forward ended up winning two NBA titles before leaving the Motor City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a stop in San Antonio, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/dennis-rodman-and-michael-jordan-never-spoke-to-each-other-beyond-the-basketball-court\/\">Rodman joined the Chicago Bulls.<\/a> While he continued to be a bit of a character, his willingness to defend and rebound gave <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/michael-jordan-and-scottie-pippen-are-still-commanding-top-dollar-even-in-retirement\/\">Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen<\/a> the freedom to strut their stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When all was said and done, Rodman spent 14 seasons in the NBA, averaging 7.3 points and 13.1 rebounds per game for his career. He also won five NBA championships and two Defensive Player of the Year titles, eventually earning a place in the Basketball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-history-of-colorful-behavior\">A history of colorful behavior<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"USA: NEW YORK: BASKETBALL STAR DENNIS RODMAN PROMOTES NEW BOOK\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/d2ojUUenTbQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While veteran basketball fans will remember Dennis Rodman's rebounding and defense, he's more widely known for his colorful behavior. For better or worse, the Worm had a knack for making headlines, even if he wasn't playing basketball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, Rodman had no problem showing his personality. He <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/dennis-rodman-showed-up-late-to-the-grand-opening-of-the-alamodome-because-he-was-busy-bleaching-his-hair\/\">dyed his hair<\/a> on numerous occasions, sporting everything from animal print to smiley face dye-jobs. The forward also donned a wedding dress, saying he was marrying himself, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/dennis-rodman-made-a-crazy-amount-of-money-during-his-run-in-professional-wrestling\/\">tried his hand at pro wrestling<\/a>, and did just about everything else imaginable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While those antics may seem goofy, not everything that Rodman did was all fun and games. In one instance, for example, he had to cough up $200,000 after kicking a cameraman. On another, Rodman had to pay a $50,000 NBA fine after making a <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/dennis-rodman-had-to-pay-a-record-setting-50000-fine-after-cursing-out-an-entire-religion\/\">comment about &#8220;f&#8212;ing Mormons<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dennis-rodman-once-crashed-a-pearl-jam-concert-and-spent-45-minutes-on-stage\">Dennis Rodman once crashed a Pearl Jam concert and spent 45 minutes on stage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dennis Rodman interview: A life lesson I learned from Pearl Jam\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C2BH1pQLtJs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/dennis-rodman-had-a-short-marriage-to-carmen-electra-after-the-tragic-death-of-her-mother\/\">Dennis Rodman has had his fair share of encounters<\/a> with celebrities.
