Dennis Rodman was a professional athlete who had a difficult upbringing. He was raised in poverty and constantly faced racism.

Despite achieving great success and becoming a multi-million dollar athlete, he unfortunately couldn't escape his past. The sudden influx of wealth was overwhelming for him, and he struggled to handle it.

According to Dennis, the loss of his daughter was the most devastating event in his life. It tore him apart and had a profound impact on his mental and emotional state.

Rodman's story is a reminder that success and wealth don't necessarily bring happiness or solve all of life's problems. Sometimes, the past can continue to haunt us, even when we seem to have everything.

I originally read this as a young teenager, when I was a huge fan of Rodman and the Chicago Bulls. I was truly in awe of him being the outcast of the NBA. Back then, I would've easily given this book 4 or 5 stars. However, now, at age 31, as I reread it, I realize that as much as I admired Rodman then, it paled in comparison to how much he admired himself when he wrote this.

I was quickly annoyed by his constant elevation of himself above the other players. He seemed to insinuate that basketball couldn't even survive without him. It was quite irritating. The most frustrating part was his incessant complaining about his salary. He was making a measly 3 million a year, which, according to him, was nowhere near what he was worth. But the fact is, he didn't really become a huge star mostly until after the time frame of this book.

If you're still a die-hard fan of Rodman, this book could potentially be very enjoyable for you. However, if not, there are probably many other much more satisfying reads out there that would better capture your interest and provide a more fulfilling reading experience.

I'm not a huge fan of biographies in general. However, this particular one is an absolute great read.

It manages to capture the essence of the subject's life in a truly engaging and captivating way. The author has done an excellent job of presenting the events and experiences in a chronological order, while also adding in interesting anecdotes and personal insights.

The writing style is clear and concise, making it easy to follow along and understand. Even if you're not usually interested in biographies, I would highly recommend giving this one a try. You might be surprised at how much you enjoy it.

It's a book that will keep you hooked from start to finish and leave you with a newfound appreciation for the person whose life is being documented.

So, if you're looking for a good read, don't overlook this biography. It's definitely worth your time.

This was a really nice throwback read for me.

It brought back a lot of memories and made me think about the past.

I would definitely read an updated biography now that he is even crazier.

I mean, who wouldn't want to know more about his latest antics and adventures?

I gotta say, this book isn't for non-basketball fans.

He does talk quite a bit about b-ball, which is understandable since he is a basketball player.

Some of the guys he talks about I know very well, while others... well, I guess they never really made it big or maybe I was just too young at the time to remember anyone other than the big names.

But overall, it was an interesting read and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of basketball or just wants to learn more about the life of a professional athlete.
