Dennis Rodman and his colorful personality is an enigma to many. The 61-year-old has grown to be a? much calmer person. However, back in the 90s, the legendary Bulls defender was a sight to witness. The Bulls no. 91 was bold and apparently too much to deal with for anyone at the time. He had the courage to express himself, and the Rebound King?s stint in Chicago made him the basketball great that he is today.

Dennis Rodman and his striking pink motorcycle
In 1998, the defender was at the top of his game. He won three straight NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls. ?Dennis Rodman was always the center of attention, for good and bad reasons alike.?
In an interview in 1998, an interviewer was invited to the Worm’s large mansion. The interview witnessed Rodman’s persona, his way of living, and a hot pink motorcycle with words inscribed that describe the Bulls legend perfectly.

Two things presumably very dear to Rodman in the 90s. It is not particularly a surprise for a man who, in his own words has ?slept with more than 2,000 women?. Notably, the Bulls defender also had a lot of bookshelves at his place, but most were empty.?
Rodman was a fierce competitor, his antics off-court were not reflective of his performances on the court. The four-time NBA Champion was an integral part of each team he has played for.??
