"Bad as I Wanna Be is the autobiography of star player Dennis Rodman. The book begins with Dennis telling of his young childhood and being raised by a single mother. Dennis Keith Rodman was born in Trenton, New Jersey to Shirley and Philander Rodman Jr. After his father left the family (and eventually went on to father 27 other children) his mother and two sisters relocated to Texas where Rodman completed High School and worked overtime at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. There he grew 14 inches taller and is now 6' 8".
While working at Fort Worth Airport, Rodman was arrested for shoplifting watches. He was fired and went back to his mothers house where he lived. Because of his sudden growth, Dennis decided to give Basketball another try. Determined to enter the NBA, and for a better future, Rodman gained attention from the Detroit Pistons and was the 27th pick in 1986. After joining 5 teams in 14 years, he won seven consecutive rebounding championships and 5 championships.
The book also talks about his personal life during his NBA career. Dennis Rodman is a pronounced bisexual, and has admitted to having contracted HIV. He also claims that famous singer Madonna desperately wanted to have children with him. Rodman once wore a wedding dress to promote this book, and claimed he was marrying himself. Rodman admits he would have committed suicide during his early NBA career if it were not for the Rock band Pearl Jam on the radio. Rodman is widely known for his crazy lifestyle including painting his fingernails and dying his hair multiple colors.
Dennis Rodman has a total of 5 NBA Championships, 6,683 career points, 11,954 rebounds, 1,600 assists in his NBA career. To me, Dennis Rodman was the greatest small forward rebounder of his time. Despite his on-court antics and unorthodox lifestyle, Rodman overcame his troubled childhood and became a great player in the NBA."
"I'm a fan of 90's Bulls, and of course a great admirer of Michael Jordan. So it's no wonder if I have Michael Jordan's biography.
But Dennis Rodman's biography? Eww! It has the most provoked cover I've ever seen! Just a bike, 5 balls, and naked Rodman. LOL...
I'm not his fan, though. But I felt this book is a tool for him to throw up all his bitterness toward other NBA players and 'injustice' of NBA industries. He felt his contribution and skill was underrated and other players that he thought waaaaay worse than him get paid more than he was. I counted not many people he respected in this book. A few of them are Chuck Daly, Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Phil Jackson.
This book ends with the dawn of his time in Chicago Bulls, so it doesn't tell much about Bulls team, but it's safe to say that his new team appreciated him more than San Antonio Spurs did."
