NBA legend Dennis Rodman is one of the most popular basketball players ever owing to his flamboyance on and off the court. Over the years, Rodman has been involved in a lot of controversies. However, he couldn’t care less what others think and speak of him. He once stated that he would visit Russia to help bring the detained WNBA star, Brittney Griner, back home.

A lot of popular figures showed their outrage with the sentencing. They tried to use their platform to help the Phoenix Mercury star. Rodman, on the other hand, wanted to take matters into his own hands.
