Rodman's most shocking confessions: Madonna's 20 million dollar pregnancy, and breaking his penis th

Basketball A colourful character

Dennis Rodman will go down as the most controversial player in basketball's history.

There are an infinite number of anecdotes about the player who accompanied Michael Jordan with the Chicago Bulls.

The worm

He was nicknamed 'the worm' and made his name due to his athletic ability and brutal intensity.

One night he was found with a pistol in his hand and he believes that night was the night the old Rodman was left behind and a new version was born.

"I found him on the second floor of 'The Landin Strip', a Detroit strip club. He had a gun and he was going to [shoot]. I told him how stupid he was being and then he made his decision," journalist Craig Saiger said.

Stormy relationships

He was traded from the Pistons to the Spurs and became a defensive specialist with huge rebound numbers, but his time was overshadowed by a stormy relationship with Madonna.

"Madonna told me if I got her pregnant she'd give me 20 million dollars. I was playing in Las Vegas when she called to say she was ovulating so I said 'I'll be there in five hours'," Rodman recalled.

Forgiving Scottie Pippen

After leaving the Spurs for the Bulls he had to apologise to Pippen.

"I went to Jerry Krause's house with Michael [Jordan], Scottie and Phil Jackson. It was a strange situation, everything was there eating and drinking but I wasn't talking to anyone and Phil approached me to ask me to apologise to Scottie," Rodman said.

"Michael was the scorer, Scottie was his Robin and I picked up the trash. We complemented each other very well on the court. It was fun but for three years I didn't say a word to Jordan or Pippen off the court."

Breaking his penis three times

At the end of his career he started acting in some questionable films.

"The first time I was at a party on a boat and I went into a cabin. We were riding and she thought it was a good idea to jump. I jumped like crazy and there was blood everywhere."

"The second time was after a Rockets game where I was hit by the ball. A girl had flown thousands of kilometres to have dinner with me. I was only going for dinner, really. But then she took out some tantric sex books and told me to get ready - I couldn't say no. She broke it like a nut."

"The third was a wild night in a hotel with my girlfriend. I knew what to do, I went to the hospital for the little pill. But the doctors all got excited and called half the hospital. They didn't understand how it was broken... I just wanted the pill."

Kim Jong-Un friendship

He had a famous relationship with North Korean president Kim Jong-Un. Visits were arranged for the North Korean leader's birthday as he was a big basketball fan.

In recent years, he even offered to mediate between North Korea and the United States after Donald Trump became president.

"I can help improve relations between the countries," said Rodman.
