A wild ride inside the glowing head of Dennis Rodman--the NBA s greatest rebounder and America s most outspoken and outrageous athlete. When Sports Illustrated put the man they call America s most provocative athlete on their cover they sold more copies than any other issue they had sold in a decade (except the swimsuit issue). Why? Because Dennis Rodman has more in common with Mick Jagger than with his teammate Michael Jordan. With his body-covering tattoos and ever-changing fluorescent hair Rodman s sideline antics and celebrated benchings captivated sports fans as much as his record-breaking on-court performances and earned him a reputation as a rebel with the same penchant for shocking behavior as his on-again off-again squeeze Madonna. In Bad as I Wanna Be he shares his surprising and candid opinions on: - Mortality: If I die young everybody s going to say they saw it coming. - His game: I never want to score. Never. I want to rebound. - Having it all: From the outside I had everything I could want. From the inside I had nothing but an empty soul and a gun in my lap. . . . And so much more including his life from going to prison for stealing watches to his daughter the light of his life. At a time when most celebrities and professional athletes try to control their public personas like politicians and refrain from expressing their true beliefs Dennis Rodman is a refreshingly unique uncompromising individual who both transcends his world and refuses to conform to it. Bad as I Wanna Be is as candid intriguing and unforgettable as he is.
