They may have looked closer than close on the red carpet, but Toni Braxton is dismissing rumors that she had a romance with Dennis Rodman. In the 1990s, the two entertainers were enjoying the heights of their successes. The stars decided to attend the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards together, and photos of the pair on the red carpet and at the event have resurfaced.
The Chicago Bulls documentary The Last Dance has placed NBA players during that 1997-1998 season in the limelight. A recent episode highlighted the conflict between the Bulls and Detroit Pistons during the Motor City's "Bad Boy" era. There were bits about Dennis Rodman included in the series, including his dating life, and fans were quick to point out that the eccentric former basketball star may be viewed as a strange egg, but he's dated plenty of beautiful women.
There were his short-lived marriages to Carmen Electra and model Annie Bakes, along with his nine-year marriage to Michelle Moyer. Someone shared the photos of Dennis Rodman and Toni Braxton hugged up on the red carpet, but the singer was quick to say that they were never an item. "Even though @dennisrodman was kinda hot in the 90s, I never dated Dennis Rodman. We were at the VMAs. #TheLastDance," she wrote on Twitter. Check it out below.
Carmen Electra Says Her And Dennis Rodman Had Sex On Bulls’ Court
Carmen Electra divulged some very interesting stories about Dennis Rodman that will make you do a double-take.
There is no denying that Dennis Rodman was one of the most colorful people to ever play the game of basketball. He had a very peculiar personality that would get him into a lot of trouble both on and off the court. His antics are now on full display in ESPN’s “The Last Dance” and fans have been soaking in all of the stories. Perhaps the best take was when he requested a vacation from the Chicago Bulls and got to go to Las Vegas for 48 hours before coming back to the team.
His girlfriend at the time was Playboy model Carmen Electra, who was interviewed for the doc. One of the stories that didn’t make the documentary involved the time where Rodman brought Electra to the Bulls practice facility as a little “date.” Electra goes on to describe how the two had sex all over the facility, including the court.

“One day when the Bulls had an off day from practicing, Dennis said he had a surprise for me,” Electra said. “He blindfolds me and we get on his motorcycle. When he finally takes my blindfold off, we’re standing at the Bulls practice facility, center court. It was crazy, like two kids in a candy store. We were eating Popsicles from the fridge and pretty much having sex all over the damn place — in the physical therapy room, in the weight room. Obviously on the court.”
If you’re the Bulls, you can’t help but admire a player who still puts in work, even on his day off.
Michael Jordan’s Dennis Rodman-Vegas Story Leads To Hilarious Memes
Michael Jordan spoke about Dennis Rodman's hilarious antics on "The Last Dance."
Last night, basketball fans were blessed with another two episodes of "The Last Dance" which is the documentary that follows Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls during their championship run in the 1997-98 season. Episodes three and four were heavily dedicated to none other than Dennis Rodman who was known as basketball's best rebounder, as well as a man who loved to party and live his own life.
As MJ describes, there was a moment during the 97-98 season where Rodman stopped caring about basketball and asked the team for a vacation. Typically, you can't just take a vacation in the middle of the season but head coach Phil Jackson made the exception and let Rodman go to Las Vegas for 48 hours.

Jordan was very skeptical about Rodman coming back on time and his skepticism was eventually validated. In the end, it took Rodman a full 81 hours before Jordan and Jackson hopped on a flight to Vegas and brought him back to Chicago themselves. Hilariously enough, Rodman was still in good shape as he was outrunning all of his teammates in practice.
This Rodman story was certainly the highlight of the latest batch of episodes and some incredible memes came out of it, as well. Check out some of those memes, below.
