Publisher Notes

A wild ride inside the glowing head of Dennis Rodman--the NBAs greatest rebounder and Americas most outspoken and outrageous athlete.When Sports Illustrated put the man they call "Americas 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, superstar basketball player who joined the Chicago Bulls for the 1996 season, has more in common with Mick Jagger than with his new teammate Michael Jordan. With his body-covering tattoos and ever-changing fluorescent hair, Rodmans sideline antics and celebrated benchings have 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 everything from fame, money, and race relations, to sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll--and he'll talk about 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.

Media Reviews

"[My six-year-old son] doesn't know quite what to make of Dennis Rodman. Kids are not often scared or offended by the bizarre, but they are deeply curious--they notice everything. Certainly Alex has noticed what there is to notice about Dennis Rodman. 'Why is his hair red?' he has asked. Or yellow. Or green. And 'Why can't I tattoo my shoulders?' One day, to help him understand, I'll give him 'Bad As I Wanna Be'. Like when he's 32."
