Dennis Rodman says Madonna chose him because her career was going down

Rodman was asked why they got along so well. He said,” Well, her career was going down, that’s the truthful thing right there because no really gave anything about Madonna at that time. She needed something to boost her career back up, like a bad boy.”
“She loved bad boys, so basically I was the bad boy of the NBA, so basically came to San Antonio and chased me down,” Rodman said.
