Dennis Rodman, 60, is probably one of the best rebounders to play in the NBA. The Chicago Bulls legend has five league titles in his bag and has created a legacy on his own. However, his off-court activities and behaviors drew in just as much attention from fans and media as his on-court triumphs with the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons.

Another part of his life that is often highlighted is his association with former US President Donald Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. That being said, he is often quizzed about Trump during interviews, asked to speak about their relationship, and more.

Rodman on being coached by Phil Jackson
During the podcast, Rodman also spoke about his equation with Jackson — the most successful coach in NBA history. “Phil called me the best player he has ever coached,” he said, adding about his Vegas vacation that made it into Michael Jordan’s documentary The Last Dance. “He (Phil Jackson) didn’t say sh** [about Vegas]. He said, ‘Dennis, make sure you be at practice, see you tomorrow.’ That’s all he said to me all the time.”
The two-time Defensive Player of the Year started his career in 1987 with the Pistons, a Round 2 No. 27 pick. He helped the team win two titles, before moving to the San Antonio Spurs. However, he found a place with the Bulls, winning their second three-peat (1996-98) before leaving the league in 2000 with the Dallas Mavericks. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.
