After about two minutes into the second night of ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” it was very clear who was going to be the star of the night. The Dennis Rodman Episode had arrived, and it was as glorious as anyone could reasonably hope. The third piece of the Chicago Bulls’ most immortal teams was a complex, hair-dying, partying, borderline masochistic marvel of a player and human being. There definitely isn’t a player like him today, which made his portrayal so compelling for a modern audience. When an episode starts off with a guy casually stating he wants to break his nose on the court, buckle up.

I started watching this last night with the rebroadcast of the first chapter. Featured and quoted were those noted sportswriters and basketball historians Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. I turned it off.
The slugfests led to today’s snoozefests of 3 point shots and occasional dunk we have in the NBA today. Bor-ring.
The Bad Boys and Riley’s Knicks would be banned in today’s game.
Suck it up buttercup, they have like 1 minute of total camera time between the both of them and what they add is mostly irrelevant. You don’t want to miss this excellent series because of your hatred for the two. Believe me, I get the hatred part but it’s not about them.
Has anyone asked Dennis Rodman about the real condition of his BFF Kim Jung Il?
I know... but you sit down to watch a story about Michael
Jordan and you get Clinton and Obama and the injustice of Pippen being the 100th highest paid player in the NBA. Maybe I’m just touchy about staying at home.
Been drinking with Dennis back in the day. He’s a trip. Harmless, but a trip.
He has the creepiest calves ever seen on a human. It looks like they took the structure of a cricket leg and grafted it to the back of the lower part of his legs.
I would have done the same.
What qualifies you to call someone buttercup???
Doctor J [Julius Erving] was asked to name the five best basketball players.
He said:
“Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Jerry West, Oscar Robertson and Elgin Baylor. And you’d have to mention Pete Maravitch somewhere because he was so unusual.”
“But you did’t mention Michael Jordan,” the interviewer said.
Answered Dr. J, “You asked me a question and I answered it.”
I used to be an NBA fan. As a kid I collected cards. I played and went college basketball camps. I’ve watched many documentaries and read a few books and talked to a lot of people who worked with a few teams. I hated Rodman when he was with the Pistons. I dont know where and when I heard it, but supposedly, after some time Jordan actually found Rodman’s presence because diverted the attention of the media and everyone else off him and to Rodman.
