I truly relished this book to a much greater extent than I could have ever fathomed. It is indeed one of the superior, if not the absolute best, sports autobiographies that I have had the pleasure of reading.

This book delves deep into the struggles of choosing between being a strong, independent individual or conforming to the masses. It was these internal battles that pushed Rodman to the brink of almost taking his own life.

Rodman has impressed me as being far more intelligent and sensitive than I initially suspected. He actually possesses principles, integrity, and a backbone. He is most definitely not a cookie-cutter athlete, either on or off the court.

After reading this book, I have come away with a great deal of respect for this remarkable guy. His story is one that is both inspiring and thought-provoking, and it has left a lasting impression on me.

A True Legend of the Golden Decade of the Chicago Bulls in His Own Words.

He, by many considered the top rebounder and defender of the '90s with his unique hair, tells us how he reached to become a key member of the feared team that swept championships in the NBA through a lot of hard work.

Beyond the madness and outspokenness, there is a lot more to the beloved Dennis.

His journey was filled with countless hours of practice, facing tough opponents, and constantly striving to improve.

He had to overcome numerous obstacles and setbacks along the way.

But his determination and passion for the game never wavered.

He was a force to be reckoned with on the court, intimidating opponents with his physical presence and tenacious defense.

His rebounding skills were second to none, often snatching the ball away from his opponents and giving his team a second chance at scoring.

Dennis Rodman's story is one of perseverance, hard work, and a love for the game that will be remembered for years to come.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

It offers a fascinating and in-depth look into the life of Dennis Rodman and the journey that led him to the NBA.

What makes this book truly captivating is that you can almost hear Rodman's voice throughout the entire narrative.

His unique perspective and personality shine through on every page, making it an engaging and intriguing read.

Overall, this is a really good book.

It provides a wealth of information about his backstory, his life experiences, and his thoughts and opinions on some of the more controversial moments in his career.

It's not only a great read for basketball fans but also for anyone interested in learning about the life of a remarkable and complex individual.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an interesting and thought-provoking read.

This isn't a great literary piece, just a light read into a rather unique character.

After experiencing Dennis Rodman through his NBA career and related antics, I found it interesting to read about Dennis Rodman from his perspective.

It offers a fascinating insight into his background, which shaped him into the person he is today.

His work ethic, although perhaps not conventional, was clearly driven by his passion for the game.

He was willing to do whatever it took to succeed on the court, whether it was through his tenacious rebounding or his flamboyant style.

Understanding his motivation helps to explain some of his more outrageous behavior and shows that there was more to him than meets the eye.

Overall, this light read has given me a better appreciation for Dennis Rodman as a complex and multi-faceted individual.

It serves as a reminder that there is often more to a person than what we see on the surface and that taking the time to understand their story can lead to a deeper and more meaningful connection.

Controversial take but I truly loved this book.

We must bear in mind that it was penned in the 1990s.

Consequently, it may not possess the profound insights that one might expect from a book dedicated to Rodman.

This is because he was still actively engaged in the game during that era.

Nonetheless, my admiration for the book remains unwavering.

I am now eager to embark on a search for an updated biography of Rodman.

Such a work would无疑 fill in the blanks and provide a more comprehensive understanding of this enigmatic figure.

It would be fascinating to explore the additional details and perspectives that have emerged since the original publication.

Overall, while the existing book has its limitations, it has also piqued my curiosity and left me hungry for more information about Dennis Rodman.

I used to have an intense admiration for Dennis Rodman.

I'm going to take a guess that this is the very reason why you are reading this in the first place.

Somewhere deep within me, that admiration still lingers.

He had this remarkable ability that made me not want to hate the Bulls dynasty.

(Even though in the years when he wasn't there, Paxson managed to keep my interest alive.)

He had the audacity to wear make-up and dresses, and I thought that was just incredibly cool.

Plus, let's not forget that Madonna was completely smitten with him.

But I guess she wanted to have babies or something, and he just wasn't into that whole idea.

I discovered all of this in the book.

He had a tough upbringing, growing up poor and malnourished.

And here's the really crazy part - he grew like 5 inches from the time he was 18 to 22.

That's some seriously insane stuff.

And to top it all off, Rodman is actually a literary genius.

Yes, Kevin, it's truly riveting.

Good book - quick read.

It offers very interesting facts about Dennis. I decided to read this book because I have a great love for him and the Chicago Bulls!!! However, it certainly is not what I initially expected.

The book provides insights into Dennis's life and career that I wasn't aware of before. It delves into his unique personality and the events that shaped him as a player and a person.

Despite not meeting my initial expectations, it still managed to hold my attention throughout. The author's writing style is engaging, making it an enjoyable read.

Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Dennis or the Chicago Bulls. It offers a different perspective and adds to the understanding of this iconic figure in basketball history.

An exciting read

I will say that I am an extremely huge fan of Dennis Rodman. I read this book way back in 1996 just moments after it was released. Dennis Rodman is truly one of the most captivating basketball players and athletes of all time. He grew up in a poverty-stricken community, facing numerous life struggles along the way.

Even though I am a die-hard fan, I am not blind to the mistakes he has made when it comes to his family. He unfortunately did not spend a significant amount of time with his daughter during her formative years. However, I truly appreciate this book because it reveals his human side. It shows that even the most famous and talented individuals have their flaws and shortcomings. It makes him more relatable and reminds us that everyone has a story to tell. This book gives us a unique insight into the life of Dennis Rodman, warts and all, and that is what makes it such an exciting read.

I don't know.

He just didn't seem that bad to me.

There was a lot of self-focus, with a lot of "me, me, me" and not a great deal of good, interesting writing.

All I can recall is him chatting about listening to Pearl Jam in his car or prior to a game.

I also listen to them, yet I don't view myself as being very bad.

So, in general, there wasn't anything extremely exciting.

Perhaps there were some redeeming qualities that I simply overlooked or didn't fully appreciate at the time.

Maybe if I had delved deeper or engaged in more meaningful conversation with him, I might have discovered something more interesting or engaging.

However, based on my initial impression, it was a rather lackluster encounter.

Nonetheless, it's important to remember that first impressions aren't always accurate, and there could be more to him than meets the eye.

Only time will tell if there's potential for a more fulfilling connection or if this was just a passing acquaintance.

This statement presents a rather strong opinion.

It claims that what has been read is some of the most misogynist "bs" (a rather vulgar abbreviation for bullshit). However, it also acknowledges that the cover is iconic.

Perhaps the content within the text contains elements that are extremely offensive or demeaning to women, which has led to such a harsh assessment.

But the fact that the cover is described as iconic suggests that it has some sort of visual appeal or significance that stands out.

It could be that the cover design is so striking or memorable that it catches people's attention, even if the underlying message or content is not to everyone's liking.

Overall, this comment highlights the contrast between the negative perception of the text and the positive evaluation of the cover.

It makes one wonder about the relationship between form and content and how they can sometimes have a disconnect.

Maybe the author of the text intended for the cover to be eye-catching to draw in readers, but failed to consider the potential impact of the misogynist content.

Or perhaps the cover was designed by someone else without full knowledge of the text's nature.

In any case, it serves as a reminder that we should always be critical of what we read and not be swayed solely by the appearance or marketing of a piece of work.

We need to look beyond the surface and consider the deeper implications and messages that are being传达.

17 years after its publication, I made the decision to read the biography of one of the most eccentric yet interesting players to have ever graced the NBA. During that time, I was far too young to fathom its worth. Just like the majority of teenagers back then, I was enamored with and held in high regard those players who knew how to score and who served as role models for the young NBA fans.


Exactly one of the things that Dennis Rodman laments in his book. Now, I have reached an age where I can appreciate far more things. I am able to read the biography of such a peculiar person and judge it from a different perspective. I am capable of "seeing" that behind the "crazy" Dennis lay a rather interesting individual. His ideas may not always find me in agreement, but at least I can understand them.


Throughout this book, we are presented with a plethora of issues related to the running of the NBA industry. I cannot dispute Dennis when he criticizes the league for the way it treats young players who amass millions before they have even proven their worth. This phenomenon still persists today, on an even larger scale. Additionally, issues such as drugs, racism, and sexual orientation are presented through Rodman's eyes, along with more scandalous issues like his relationship with Madonna and his rather scathing criticism of players whom Dennis did not have any sympathy for at all. Moreover, I truly relished the part where he expounds upon his remarkable trait, his rebounding skills.


This is a very interesting book that has reminded me of numerous things. It has taken me back to an NBA era that I adored. I suppose this book leaves you with the lesson that, no matter what, just strive to be yourself.
