The NBA has been among the most progressive sporting leagues. Whether it was hiring the first woman coach or welcoming gay players with open arms, the league has consistently remained ahead of the curve. While voicing their opinions about politics, the NBA has also taken open steps to be more inclusive. After all, the NBA was the first sport with an active player openly admitting he’s gay. Years ago, one of the most infamous players in the NBA, also made some revelations about his se*uality.

While he rejected legendary pop star, Madonna, Dennis Rodman revealed that he is “open to trying anything”.

Dennis Rodman opens up about his se*uality

While one hell of a player, the Worm is often remembered for his off-court exploits more than his on-court career. Whether it was joining professional wrestling, or partying in Vegas before a Finals game, Rodman knew how to live it up. But this made him a controversial figure for some. Years before Jason Collins became the first openly gay player in American sports history, Dennis Rodman was the one making waves.? Since finding basketball, the?Rebound King has never been afraid to be himself.

In his book, the 5-time NBA champion said, “I’m not straight, I’m not gay but I’m open to things. I haven’t actually messed around with any men at this point in my life but I am open se*ually.”?

When asked to clarify those comments in his interview with VladTv, Dennis explained his stance openly. “I’m this open individual that loves people…I don’t have to be gay to love my gay community… My gay community loves me because I respect it…I’m not judging them or their character or their desire to be who they are.”

While a lot of celebrities, especially athletes have spoken about the LGBTQIA+ community, none have made their point with as much strength and conviction as Rodman. Makes sense, considering how it was a gay man who unlocked Dennis’ “Demolition Man” era.

A true icon, Dennis the Menace has never been shy…Maybe, except when dealing with Madonna.

Rodman rejected Madonna’s advances

For years, the rumor mill suggested that Rodman and Madonna were intimately involved.

The most prevalent of these stories involved a threesome. However, in the same interview, the Pistons legend denied those stories. As he put it, “I never wanted to have s*x with her in the beginning.”

However, he did agree to a different rumor. The other rumor involved the pop icon paying the?Worm?$20,0000 to have a kid with her. To this day, Dennis Rodman sticks by the story. He further claimed that if asked, so would Madonna.

As the legendary pop star recovers from a scary ICU admission, our thoughts and prayers, along with Rodman’s, are with her. Until then, let’s practice what Dennis Rodman so eloquently preached.
