Snapped While Getting Cozy to Mike Tyson’s Ex-Wife, Dennis Rodman Flaunts Ripped Body in 28YO Resurfaced Photo

The former Chicago Bulls forward, Dennis Rodman believed in living a legendary and flamboyant life. And he is still following through. He was a two-time Defensive Player of the Year and won the rebounding title for a record seven consecutive years. However, his on-court talent was often overshadowed by his off-court controversies. Of course, that didn’t stop The Worm from doing what he wants. Recently an old photoshoot of Rodman captured people’s attention for that reason. The photos were from a CBS legal drama series that premiered on September 13, 1995. The 5-time NBA champion made a guest appearance on the show.

While it’s one of Rodman’s bigger television appearances, he almost made a jump to the big screen in the ’90s.  Though he refused the role, photos from his CBS cameo recently stirred the internet as he was photographed with famed boxing champion Mike Tyson’s ex-wife.

Recently, a 28-year-old photo circulating on the internet caught the fans’ attention. The photo showcases the Rebound King getting cozy with Robin Givens, the ex-wife of Mike Tyson. The post had another picture of Dennis Rodman flaunting his ripped muscular body. The photos grabbed attention immediately after they resurfaced online.

While this hasn’t seemed to throw a spade between Rodman’s relationship with Tyson, it was an interesting crossover event at the time. For fans today, it was a reminder of Rodman’s fierce game on the court. After all, he was part of the deadly trio with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

Robin Givens on the other hand is an American actor and model. The model married the famed boxing star, Mike Tyson in 1988. However, they got divorced early in the year of 1989.

The snaps also revealed Rodman’s tattoos. The same tattoos and piercings that caused him trouble during his NBA days. Recently, he added to his collection with a bold tribute to his girlfriend. The face tattoo is just another example of Rodman doing exactly what he wants.

As you can imagine, this is inspirational to many. But what you might not know is that it also led to one of Tom Cruise’s biggest movies.

Dennis Rodman once paved the way for Tom Cruise

Did you know the famed NBA player once inspired a character in Tom Cruise’s movie?

The character, Rob Tidwell from ‘Jerry Maguire’ was inspired by Dennis Rodman. The director of the movie, Cameron Crowe was moved when he saw the athlete teary-eyed on national television. This was an interview with Roy Firestone, where the NBA legend broke down.

The athlete was even offered to play the role of Rod Tidwell in the movie. However, it was during the peak time of the Bulls era and he refused the role. This is what led to Tom Cruise starring in the 1996 romance. The movie was produced on a $50 million budget but earned a staggering $270 million at the box office.

Often, stories of Dennis Rodman read like jokes about Chuck Norris. It seems there is nothing one can imagine that Rodman hasn’t done. What do you think about the legendary forward? Have you seen the old pictures of Rodman? Tell us in the comments.
