Dennis Rodman was a defensive juggernaut back in the day. He was instrumental in the success of the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s owing to his ferocity on the floor and ability to rebound. Michael Jordan was unquestionably the franchise’s headliner, but The Worm was the ultimate personality.

While the 90s Chicago Bulls conquered the NBA hardwood, they were as active off the court as well. Whether it was the team parties, off-season trip to France, Jordan showcasing his swing on the golf course, or Rodman’s infamous excursion to Las Vegas during the regular season, the Bulls were consistently in the limelight.

Of course, they were well-liked by the women as well. However, according to Rodman, he was always one step ahead of everyone else in that department.

He also went ahead and shed some light on his dating history.

?Carmen Electra you know, then Madonna, I dated a lot of people…Sharon Stone. I mean all these people, what?s her name Cindy Crawford…dated her. Just a bunch of people man,? said Rodman.
