Dennis Rodman and Donald Trump are both very controversial figures in their own domains. Of course, Rodman is one of the most colorful characters to ever play in the NBA while Trump is perhaps the most divisive president we have ever seen. Their ideological paths might be completely different but they are both masters when it comes to demanding attention from people.
In light of the recent protests in regards to the police killing of George Floyd, Trump took to Twitter with his "make American great again" slogan. Rodman saw this tweet and immediately clapped back on Twitter saying "MAKE AMERICA SAFE FOR MINORITIES." Rodman's statement certainly rings true especially when you consider what is going on in the country right now.
Fans were quick to note that Rodman has a friendship with North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-Un. Despite this friendship, Rodman's tweet is still extremely valid. Police brutality has become all too common in the United States and it's clear that people of color are scared of the police's large presence in their communities.
With Rodman being seen as an ambassador of sorts, perhaps Trump will actually listen to him and try to invoke some change. At this point, anything is better than nothing at all.
Dennis Rodman Urges For Looting To End, Calls Rioters "Animals"
Dennis Rodman released a new video on Instagram called "Rest In Power George Floyd."
Dennis Rodman was always an extremely vocal player both on and off the court during his playing days. He has also proven himself to be engaged politically although not in the ways you might expect. Of course, we mean his relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. Regardless, Rodman has a large platform, and last night, he spoke up about all of the protests going on throughout the United States.
In a video posted to Instagram called "Rest In Power George Floyd," Rodman spoke about the looting and rioting that is going on. While he wants justice for Floyd, he seems to be appalled by those causing destruction and said “we’re human beings, not f–king animals.”
View this post on InstagramPlease America let’s stop the rioting and all come together as one. Y’all stay safe!! Much ❤️
“I think someone needs to come out and say, ‘Hey, guys, why are we looting? Why are we stealing? Why are we creating more issues, more problems?” Rodman said. “This is a bad, bad situation. But the fact that you’re gonna protest, protest in the right way. You don’t have to go and burn down things, steal things, burn things and stuff like that.”
Rodman's sentiments are ones that are shared by many although it is important to note that many of the people protesting are trying to stop the rioters. Numerous Twitter videos have shown Black Lives Matter supporters standing in front of businesses so that masked vandals don't break any windows.
As protests continue to rage throughout the country, we urge all of you to stay safe.
Dennis Rodman Partakes In Toilet Paper Antics While In Florida
Dennis Rodman is a truly bizarre character.
If you’ve been paying attention to the antics of Dennis Rodman over the years, then you would know that he is a truly bizarre character. While fans have known about him for decades, he recently received an increase in recognition thanks to the ESPN documentary on the Chicago Bulls called “The Last Dance.” Throughout the documentary, Rodman was seen getting himself into a whole heap of trouble, and fans seemed to love every single second of it.
Recently, Rodman was caught on camera in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida where he engaged in even more strange antics. In this clip below provided to TMZ, Rodman can be seen taking a package of toilet paper and leaving it in the street before being asked by authorities to go pick it up.
The fun didn’t stop there as Rodman was then asked to sign a man’s cast. He was also seen hitting on some of the local women and even had himself a cigar after. Just a day in the life of Dennis Rodman, or at least we guess he’s always this interesting.
When it comes to Rodman, you never truly know what he’s truly trying to accomplish which ultimately makes these antics that much more fun to watch. Either way, you got to respect him for living his life however he wants.

Dwyane Wade Debuts Red Hair, Dennis Rodman Responds
Dwyane Wade is getting creative with his hair and Dennis Rodman seems to be a big fan.
Dwyane Wade has been living the good life during his retirement. He has been able to spend a lot more time with his family including his daughter Zaya who has been teaching him a lot about gender identity and how you can be yourself. Over the last couple of days, Zaya and D-Wade have been showing off their matching red hairstyles. For Wade, this look is certainly a departure from what he is used to but clearly, he wants to support his daughter and he figured he would make a bit of a change.
Well, it seems like the forefather of NBA hair colors, Dennis Rodman, approves. After debuting the hairstyle for his millions of followers, Wade received a comment from Rodman saying “Nice. Hair. Brother!!”
If you’ve been watching “The Last Dance,” you would know that Rodman had some pretty wild hairstyles throughout his career and it became something he was known for. Sometimes he would have bizarre patterns on his head which made his on-court look that much more interesting. Needless to say, if anyone should be commenting on people’s hair color, it would be Rodman.
As for Wade, it will be interesting to see what kind of hairstyle he comes up with next. Perhaps a nice green could work for him.
Dennis Rodman Breaks Silence On Teammates’ Portrayal In MJ Doc
Dennis Rodman doesn’t think his teammates had the mental strength to be criticized.
There has been a massive fallout since the final episode of “The Last Dance” and many of Michael Jordan‘s Chicago Bulls teammates are upset with how they were portrayed. Perhaps the two biggest losers of the entire documentary were Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen. Grant was portrayed as some sort of snitch while Pippen was made to seem like a bad teammate, even though he helped MJ get all of his rings.
Recently, Dennis Rodman was asked about how his teammates have been feeling and he gave a pretty interesting answer. As he explains, they simply weren’t ready to be criticized in that way and that considering it’s Jordan, they should be used to it by now.
“The players were a little upset because they felt Michael was throwing them under the bus. ‘You guys wasn’t doing what I want you to do, I’m the greatest, I’m determined to win no matter what,’ Rodman told “Good Morning Britain.” “The next thing you know Michael starts to talking about the whole team… the team-mates I played with. Mentally I don’t think they were strong enough to handle that, because Phil Jackson is a laid back coach. Michael is more like, ‘I’m going to do it watch me be famous’. I didn’t care because I was already famous.”
Over the next few months, Jordan will have a lot to answer for over this doc and we’re interested to see where it all goes from here on out.

OBJ & Myles Garrett Troll Each Other With Dennis Rodman Butt Tap Clip
Myles Garrett and Odell Beckham Jr. couldn't help themselves with the jokes.
Myles Garrett and Odell Beckham Jr. have been through their fair share of turmoil over this past year, especially when it comes to the sport of football. These two are teammates on the Cleveland Browns and they both had to endure a pretty lackluster season with the squad. Garrett had himself an insane incident after he swung a helmet like a weapon at Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph. Meanwhile. Beckham Jr. was charged with assault after slapping a security guard on the butt after LSU won the National Championship.
Today on Twitter, Garrett shared a video of Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone slapping each other on the butt as a way to troll OBJ. In the caption, he wrote: "How @obj thought spanking the cop was gonna go."
Beckham Jr. had to make sure he had a response so he came back at Garrett with a hilarious reference to his fight with Rudolph. "Wait a min!!!! That wasn’t even the worst part .... the worst part was I got charged wit assault..... and u somehow didn’t. only in America," he wrote.
Fans thought the interaction was pretty amusing especially since OBJ has a point. While his altercation was more humorous, Garrett's was much more violent. Regardless, these two now have something they can bond over.
Dennis Rodman Hilariously Left Bulls During Finals To Join NWO
Dennis Rodman was easily one of the wildest characters in NBA history.
Dennis Rodman has been one of the key figures in ESPN's Michael Jordan docuseries, "The Last Dance." Of course, Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders in NBA history and he was known for being a physical player on the court, and an absolute wild card off of it. In Episode 9 of the series, which aired last night, we got some insight into one story that truly had fans on Twitter rolling in collective laughter.
Let's set the scene. It's 1998 and the Chicago Bulls have just won Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz, by a score of 96-54. Instead of going back home and resting before practice the next day, Rodman gets on a flight and shows up at a WWE event where he is wrestling as a member of the NWO. Yes, you read that correctly. Rodman actually left the Bulls in the middle of the Finals just so he could hang out with Hulk Hogan.
While Twitter found this to be very funny, his teammates and coach sure didn't. Regardless, Rodman eventually found his way back to Chicago and helped the team close out the series, en-route to MJ's sixth championship in just eight years.
Rodman certainly helped add some layers to this documentary and we thank him immensely for it.
Dennis Rodman Tells Insane Kim Jong Un Story
Dennis Rodman shared some interesting stories while on Mike Tyson’s Hotboxin’ podcast.
Dennis Rodman has lived a pretty incredible life. During the 90s, he won three championships with the Chicago Bulls and even got to win two with the Detroit Pistons. He is one of the greatest rebounders to ever play the game and off the court, he was considered to be a notorious party animal. While Rodman’s antics are well-documented, nothing has ever topped the fact that he is practically best friends with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.
The North Korean leader is a huge basketball fan and has bonded with Rodman in the past. During an episode of “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson,” Rodman spoke about the first time he met Kim Jong Un and how it was one of the wildest experiences of his entire life.
Per Sportando:
“When I first met him (Kim Jong Un), I was with the Harlem Globetrotters and I wasn’t playing so some people ask me to come with them. I think I’m going to jail, right. I said: ‘What the f*** did I do in America?’ I walked up to the stands and sit in front of a desk. There are all these king-style chairs, like 20 of them. Next thing I know, 22,000 North Koreans all stand up and start clapping. […] We sat there talking about basketball the whole time. The game finishes and then he says ‘We’d love you to come back, we enjoy your company. Let’s have dinner tonight, a little karaoke and have some vodka, some hotties and stuff like that.’ Next thing I know, we are having dinner and we are drunk as s***, he starts singing karaoke and I have no clue what the f*** he’s talking about. Everyone starts clapping and then he has this 18-piece girl band come out and these girls are hot but they just played one song. Just one f****** song. It was the theme from Dallas.”
Since then, the two have met up in North Korea on numerous occasions and the Hall of Famer is seen as an ambassador between the United States and North Korea.
Toni Braxton Responds To Rumors That She Dated Dennis Rodman
Toni Braxton and Dennis Rodman have come up in conversation after ESPN's documentary "The Last Dance" suggested they once dated.
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.
