After Disney Earned Over $180 Million With Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Lionsgate Set to Use New MCU Actor in Upcoming Dennis Rodman Project

With the success ‘Space Jam’ and ‘Space Jam 2’ have had at the box office, Lionsgate has picked up a project surrounding Dennis Rodman. The movie. ?48 Hours In Vegas? will be about Dennis Rodman?s infamous trip to Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA Finals. While playing for the Chicago Bulls, Rodman took a trip in the middle of the Finals series against the Utah Jazz.?

The trip stirred up quite the controversy around the league and amongst the media.

‘The Worm’ was known for his defensive and rebounding skills on the court. But the Bulls legend was arguably more popular for his off-the-court antics as well. For the ones who have seen the docuseries ?The Last Dance?, it covers a glimpse of Rodman?s trip to Vegas.?

The five-time NBA champion had asked head coach Phil Jackson for 48 hours to blow off some steam. And even though Rodman was supposed to be back after two days, he ended up spending more than just two days in Vegas. In the end, Michael Jordan had to fly out to Vegas to get him back for team practice.?
