Rodman makes himself at home in Dallas
Click here for more on this story Posted: Friday February 04, 2000 04:39 PM Dennis Rodman will make $465,000 for the rest of the season. Todd Warshaw/Allsport DALLAS (AP) Dennis Rodman finally signed with the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, and to show his dedication, he's making a huge sacrifice. He's not going to the Pro Bowl. Instead of partying in Hawaii, Rodman will be sweating his way back into playing shape after nearly a year-long absence from the NBA. He'll make his Mavs debut at home Wednesday against Seattle. Incoming team owner Mark Cuban said he's not sure whether Rodman will travel with the team for road games Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers or Sunday against the Vancouver Grizzlies "If anything, I might take him to L.A. just to get him with his trainer, because he's getting that serious," said Cuban, who personally pursued the NBA's most eligible free agent since shortly after agreeing to buy the team in early January.

Dennis Rodman: Basketball Great Breaks Free Of Gender Restrictions
By Monica Moorehead and Leslie Feinberg
"I paint my fingernails. I color my hair. I sometimes wear women's clothes." So writes Dennis Rodman, the greatest rebounder in basketball history, in his number-one best seller, "Bad as I Wanna Be." Many thousands-possibly even millions-of people of every sexuality in this country cross-dress some of the time or all of the time. Unrelenting oppression has largely driven this self-expression underground. But the rise of the transgender-liberation movement has opened up space for people to start coming forward about who they really are. In turn, Rodman's bold assertion can only empower others. Rodman is courageous as a defensive player with the Chicago Bulls on the courts and as a human being. At his premier book signing he wore a sleek silver tank top, matching makeup and a fuschia boa. When he appeared the next day on Oprah Winfrey's TV show, the audience was packed with youths sporting colorful hairstyles similar to his.

Sports Commentator - Every 2nd Wednesday AskMen.com Specials Pages: Today's Articles Dennis Rodman is one of the most controversial basketball players in the NBA. He made a name for himself through his amazing talent on the basketball court, tie-dye hair colors, tattoos, and many body piercings. He is one of the best at his game, but he's also great at being in the spotlight. Being the best rebounder in NBA history, there is no doubt that Rodman made a name for himself in the league. Many believe that he achieved his superstardom by being colorful off the court, not through his actions on the court. An important thing to remember is that he was drafted into the NBA before he became a renowned bad boy. There is no way he could have lasted so long just by having a bunch of tattoos and a criminal record. Whatever he does off the court just adds to his popularity. Rodman's popularity begins with the fact that he voices his opinions, but remains because he stands apart from the norm. Let's face it, if we look at a basketball game with ten players on the court, the first one we notice is Rodman and his ever-changing hair color. He insists on being a unique individual and not a follower. All that has lead him to build and market his personal image, and people can relate to that distinct image.

http://members.aol.com/sbrunkow/rodman/info.htm
About Dennis Rodman
D ennis Rodman grew up in Dallas, Texas. He never played basketball in school (including highschool). His senior year in highschool he was 5 foot 11 inches, a bit short to be a basketball star. The next year he grew 8 inches, making him 6 foot 7, almost his current 6 foot 8 inches. His two sisters were All American basketball stars, but Dennis never took up the game seriously until a friend saw him playing and got him to try out for a junior college. The school was Cooke County Junior College in Gainesville, Texas. From there he went to South East Oklahoma State were he finished his college in 1986. While at Oklahoma he was a First-Team NAIA All-American all three years. He could shoot as well as rebound. When it came to the NBA draft of 1986 he was selected in the second round, 27th pick overall by the Detroit Pistons. He found his way into the "Bad Boys" of Detroit and began his NBA career. In those days he was a shooter and a rebounder, until he decided to make rebounding his primary focus. Dennis saw that he could make a real difference in a game by rebounding even if he was not scoring, and with that alone he could change the outcome of a game. While with Detroit he won two championships in 1989 and 1990. In 1993 Dennis was traded to the San Antonio Spurs for Sean Elliott, boy did the Spurs get a deal here. With the addition of Dennis the Spurs were a greatly improved team, however Dennis did not get along well with management and some of the players there.

    Dennis Rodman and the
    $50,000 Mormon Fine
    by David Boles June 12, 1997 The National Basketball Association today fined Dennis Rodman $50,000 for insulting the Mormon Community during the NBA Finals in Salt Lake City. I find this action by the NBA to be the pinnacle of Political Correctness and incredibly false in its intention to punish Dennis Rodman for speaking his mind. The NBA should be regulating play on the court, not comments spoken on impulse. Fans Need Black Hats
    If Dennis Rodman were truly bad for basketball and bad for the NBA, the NBA would've ridded themselves of him years ago. But Rodman means business. He brings in the crowds. He gives the fans a bad boy to root for or root against. Rodman wears the Black Hat of a Bad Guy on the court when the easier and more pristine path for him to take would be in wearing the White Hat of the Good Guys like Stockton, Malone, Jordan and others. Every player in the NBA plays a role and Rodman's is the lightning bolt the NBA uses to keep the other players in line. A Rogueless League?

    The Setting
    The Date: June 24, 1998. The Location: The Delta Center, Salt Lake City, Utah. The Event: Game 7 of the NBA Finals between the Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz. The locker rooms and press booths are teeming with action. Something is amiss, however. Seems that ticket takers are being confronted with two kinds of tickets this evening... As the players take the court for pre-game warm-ups, they notice a huge stage at one end of the floor. Curious, Michael Jordan (tm) heads over to see what's up, where he bumps into none other than Whitney Houston. Whitney explains to him that they're setting up for a concert for "Up With Chycks", a nationwide tour of music's hottest female pop stars. Michael explains that they're supposed to play the final and most important NBA game of the year. Suddenly, the crowd starts getting restless. With the arena half-filled with crazed Jazz fans and half-filled with crazed "Chycks" fans, people have started figuring out that something has to give. And the 20,000 or so fans waiting outside aren't too happy either. But since both parties did schedule the Delta Center for the same night, who should give in? It is quickly decided that a one-on-one fight at center court will decide who gets to stay. Whitney goes to her camp to pick the strongest among them. Michael goes to the two teams, where they decide on sending out their scariest.

    40. Dennis Rodman, De-Domesticated Man!
    An animal on the basketball court, dennis rodman is neverthelessthe most human basketball star ever to play the game. This makes
    http://www.notbored.org/rodman.html
    It's the very first thing you notice about Dennis Rodman's remarkable autobiography Bad As I Wanna Be, published by Delacorte in June 1996 to coincide with the NBA Finals.
    The typography is "gimmicky." Over and over again, for the entire length of the text, the reader is confronted with whole sentences printed in different fonts, in larger point sizes, in boldface or italics (or boldface and italics) and/or in full capitals. Occasionally, single words or phrases are printed, shall we say, differently from the norm.
    THAT'S JUST IT,
    of course: Dennis Rodman is different from the norm. He's an "in-your- face" basketball player, and his autobiography is an "in-your-face" book.
    Get it?
    But there's quite a bit more to "get" in Bad As I Wanna Be to be precise, there's more being communicated by the "gimmicky" typography than one might expect from a poorly-organized, all-too-short and irritatingly sketchy book that was clearly designed to
    CASH IN
    on Rodman's spectacular success as a member of the revitalized Chicago Bulls basketball team. Masquerading as a gimmick,
    the jumpy typography is a metaphor
    for Dennis's multi-colored hair, which is itself a metaphor for his sexual persona, which is itself a super-metaphor for the completeness of Dennis's refusal to be denied participation in the totality of what it means to be a human being. In a word, the typography is a metaphor for his total and therefore exemplary refusal to remain domesticated, despite all the pressures he is under to stay as he has been or to become what he "should" be.
