“Not Something I Fu***ng Wanna Hear”: When a Furious Michael Jordan Bashed Dennis Rodman and Scared His Wife

The first two episodes of ‘The Last Dance’ have got everyone hooked about the events that unfolded during the Chicago Bulls’ second three-peat conquest in 1998. People are getting to know how it all happened through this ten-part miniseries that focuses on the journey of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls. 

With a couple of episodes looking to be released this weekend, a sneak peek of the third episode was recently released on ‘Good Morning America.’ In this episode, we get to see how the chapter of Dennis Rodman’s brief vacation came to an end.

Michael Jordan had to fly out to Vegas to bring Rodman back

Dennis Rodman was in dire need to blow off some steam while Scottie Pippen returned from injury. He got the permission of his coach Phil Jackson to travel to Las Vegas for 48 hours. 

While Rodman left upon getting the coach’s permission, Jordan was not very keen on him going away. He briefly explained about it in the documentary. “Phil called me and said Dennis wants to tell you something. When Dennis wanted to tell me something, I knew it was not something that I f– wanna hear…” Jordan said. 

“Phil, you let this dude go to vacation, we not gonna see him. You let him go to Vegas, we definitely not gonna see him.”

Jordan brought Rodman back in his own way. He knew he had to do it, so he flew out to Las Vegas to lure his teammate into returning. “He did not come back on time. We had to go get his ass out of bed, and I’m not going to say what’s in his bed.” MJ cheekily added.

Rodman’s ex-wife Carmen Electra has her version of what went down in their hotel room. “There’s a knock on the door and it’s Michael Jordan. I hid. I didn’t want him to see me like that so I’m hiding behind the couch with covers on me.”

However, Jordan’s trick worked, and Rodman came back to the team. Jackson was relieved his star player was back because they had a title to win that year. The Chicago Bulls did complete their second three-peat by beating the Utah Jazz 4-2 in the 1998 NBA Finals. 

Jordan averaged a mammoth 33.5 points per game, and Rodman’s impressive rebound abilities were a huge bonus for the Bulls. He averaged 8.3 rebounds throughout the series.
