Dennis Rodman was born into a poor family in New Jersey and grew up in the Oakcliffe District of Dallas, Texas, which at the time was considered the dirtiest mess in Dallas.
He said in his autobiography that his father ran away from home since he was a child, which was the main reason for his later strange personality.

Once in retaliation for the negative media reports on him, he released news to the media that he was getting married, and as a result, when everyone arrived at the wedding scene, everyone was speechless.
