“He Thinks He’s a Tough Guy”: 5x NBA Champion Dennis Rodman Once Maligned Mike Tyson After Getting Inebriated at a Club

There is hardly anyone on the entire planet who would dare insult, Mike Tyson. He was arguably the greatest boxer ever and was considered one of the most dangerous men on the planet. And you would have to be pretty fearless to talk bad about Iron Mike. But once, five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman did exactly that after getting drunk at a club.

Rodman was known for his flamboyant lifestyle and his unique demeanor. He was one of the most controversial characters in NBA history and he still is to date. His off-court antics made him known as ‘The Bad Boy’ of the NBA. And Rodman proudly embraced that.

On the other hand, Tyson had also a path somewhat similar to that of Rodman. He was arguably the greatest boxer of all time, and he was also highly controversial. He may have even led a more flamboyant lifestyle, and he also faced his share of troubles.

Dennis Rodman was reportedly in a very inebriated state and would probably not repeat those comments on Tyson. The duo became friends during their playing eras and have continued to remain to this day.
