During his active playing career, Dennis Rodman was mainly known for his fierce defense and rebounding abilities in the 1990s. He also was one of the NBA’s ‘baddest Bad Boys’ with plenty of controversial off court stories.
Most of all, Rodman was a party animal and playboy – he estimates that he’s had sex with over 2000 women during his NBA career with the Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers. Among these women were global icons and sex symbols like Carmen Electra, who he was married to, Madonna and Vivica A. Fox.
Granted, at times, Dennis Roman was kind of crazy and maybe not necessarily the person you’d want to babysit your children. But that’s exactly what Doc Rivers did.
When the two were teammates on the Spurs, Doc asked Rodman for this unusual favor. That’s what Rivers now revealed when calling during the Lakers vs Kings on Wednesday:
“It was a one-time thing when I was in San Antonio. I wanted to go out and we used Dennis Rodman for one night babysitting Austin,” said Rivers. “I don’t know if I’m the parent of the year or the worst parent.”
