Dennis Rodman, the original bad boy of the NBA, was a player for the ages. In a game that depends on getting buckets, the Worm wasn’t even in the conversation. However, he was still an irreplaceable piece in Michael Jordan’s second three-peat. Retiring as a true legend of the game, now Rodman views life completely differently.
During his time in the NBA, Rodman was a certified party monster. Being out late before big games was normal for the two-time Defensive Player of The Year. Notably, he was also involved in a two-month relationship with Madonna. However, when it came time to win, Dennis Rodman would give his life.

The five-time champion goes down as one of the best rebounders the game has come across. However, now at the age of 60, when alone, the Worm is only awaiting a peaceful death.
Dennis Rodman only has one thing on his mind
The original bad boy of the NBA hasn’t changed much since his days in the league. In an interview with GQ, the Worm still enjoys parties and knows how to get the crowds going. However, when alone at home, his mind goes to a dark place. Notably, the five-time champion seems satisfied with his life. And now the only thing on his mind is a peaceful exit.

During his talks with GQ, Rodman said: “After turning 60 years old, it’s like, ‘Sh*t. What’s left of me? How can I keep my mind in tune with life?’ Sh*t. ‘How do I prepare myself to die?’ That’s the only thing I have left, is to die peacefully,”

It’s the alone time that may be getting these thoughts to Rodman. However, he still has to fulfill his biggest duty as a father of three children. Notably, after being away from his children’s lives, he is taking steps to make amends. His daughter, Trinity Rodman, made history by becoming the youngest player to be drafted in the NWSL. Just last year, Dennis Rodman surprised his daughter at a big final. And she even shared an Instagram post sharing her feelings.

While he has a long way to go, Rodman has a lot more of Trinity and his children to see. Likewise, the Worm arguably has more written in his life.
