When you come to the NBA, you must be familiar with them, they have very good and powerful players, such as Rodman.
In their team, everyone has some legendary life.
In the eyes of fans, Rodman is often presented to the public with some "funny" behaviors and ways such as excellent defense, scrambling for basketball boards, etc.
During his basketball career, Rodman won a total of 5 NBA championships and twice reached the NBA's third team.
According to our ordinary thinking, such an excellent athlete should have a regular and orderly private life.
But what people didn't expect was that he had had affairs with 2,000 women and had Madonna chase and give birth.
It can be said that his private life is completely immersed in his own drunken gold fan.
Even though his behavior caused a lot of criticism and controversy, he insisted on doing so.
Now he is living a very dashing life, so what is his current situation?
Rodman's upbringing
NBA player, Dennis Rodman was born in Texas, USA to a black family.
Looking back on Rodman's upbringing, it can be described in two words.
When Rodman was three years old, his father ran away from home, leaving his mother and two sisters to live with. Of course, their living conditions are not rich, and they live in a slum with their family of four.
Perhaps because he was born and raised in such an environment, in his childhood, he experienced pain and hurt that his peers should not experience.
For example, he lacked his father's love since he was a child, was racially discriminated against as a black man, and his grades in school were not excellent and outstanding, and he did not have brilliant grades.
Growing up in such an environment, Rodman was not exposed to the benefits and benefits of the environment, and was often unacceptable.
We all know that the United States is a country of immigrants and has very serious racial discrimination problems in their country.
There is a huge social gap between whites and blacks in the United States, and these social disparities are reflected in various aspects such as religion, ancestry, etc.
When children in such an environment grow up, one of the situations they most want to get rid of is to never live as humble as they did when they were young.
Therefore, his goal in life has also become to try to get rid of his childhood situation and get away from the life he once had.
Looking back on other growth experiences, he may have a new understanding of his "bizarre and funny" words and actions in the team.
As an adult, Rodman will be regarded as an outlier in the NBA arena.
For example, he disobeyed the management of the referee, gathered crowds to participate in mass brawls, threw ice packs at the coach and other unexpected behaviors.
What is even more unexpected is that it also has a strange hairstyle, sometimes even dressed as a woman, often going to gay bars and other behaviors that have become the focus of the media.
If on the surface, his behavior is confusing or unexpected, but combined with his own childhood experience, it may be possible to find the source.
He was born in "that" social environment since he was a child, and he had an extremely strong resistance to the set of modern Western society, and it was difficult for him to identify with and get used to the traditional system and the mainstream understanding of traditional American society.
Because everyone has their own thinking pattern, and this thinking mode is actually determined in childhood.
Rodman experienced different experiences than others in his childhood, so this has the root and basis for his later countercultural behavior.
Similarly, Rodman's countercultural, socially inclined behavior is not only reflected in his personal life, but also in the field.
For example, Rodman once kicked a black photographer on the NBA court, and this behavior even made then-President Clinton intercede for him.
So whether on the court or off the court, Rodman exists on NBA teams as a "special word."
His behavior has many countercultural characteristics, and this countercultural characteristic is aimed at a variety of problems.
It has ethical and moral aspects, legal aspects, racial discrimination and likewise dissatisfaction with established rules.
Bad boy's career path
When Rodman was in high school, he participated in the varsity team audition, but because his height did not meet the standard, he was not selected.
At that time, Rodman fooled around the streets every day, sometimes even stealing and fighting.
These things are normal for Rodman, and it is no exaggeration to say that such things did not fall behind until he was 19.
But I don't know when it started, Rodman's height suddenly and rapidly increased, growing to 2.03 meters in an instant.
He was then discovered by Southeastern University in Oklahoma, who asked Rodman to play NAIA.
Soon, Rodman achieved excellent results, and he won the rebounding king for two consecutive years.
So in 1986, Rodman participated in the draft, and it was this opportunity that allowed him to successfully join the training camp.
Rodman, who successfully joined the training camp, has since become a training freak, except that after each competition, he has to train himself, that is, go to the gym to train physical fitness and strength.
In addition, he often has to take a big box of videotapes home to watch, and sometimes many players don't understand, why did he do this?
That's because he wants to study the tactics of playing against each other on the court based on the tape, and in more detail, he also needs to familiarize himself with the opponent's movements, what shooting habits each shooter has, and so on.
Not only does he have to figure out how basketball rebounds, but he also has to draw the tricks of grabbing rebounds from those rules.
In my words, other people play basketball with their bodies, and Rodman plays basketball with their brains.
But it wasn't until 1992 that Rodman's faith collapsed in an instant.
Referring to the fact that Daley went to New Jersey and Sully was hotly traded for him, he suddenly realized that all the warm imagination in the team could not withstand the crushing of the business.
But since then, Rodman has been absent from class, late, and sometimes fined, and bans have become commonplace.
But Rodman himself said he wanted to live his life and live every day happily.
But judging by his behavior, his life as he understood it was to paint his whole body with tattoos, dye his hair green, and then there is the Rodman we know on the Internet.
Bad boys had affairs with 2,000 women, and Madonna bore them babies
It can be said that Rodman, as a basketball professional player, his private life shattered our perception.
Even on the other hand, the news about his private life far exceeds the news about his team.
It is no exaggeration to say that without training, Rodman was completely immersed in this hedonistic world in his private life.
Many times, whenever Rodman had free time, he would do one thing, and that was to hang out with beautiful women.
In the eyes of ordinary people, as a professional basketball player, or a public figure, he needs to pay great attention to his words and deeds, and if he does not pay attention, he will be pushed to the forefront.
But Rodman didn't care about that, and he didn't care about people's comments and criticism.
Rodman didn't deny that he had more than 2,000 girlfriends.
As you can imagine, aside from his role as a good basketball player, his private life can be described as very chaotic.
In addition, what people did not expect was that among his more than 2,000 girlfriends, more than 500 were "dust women", and such news was also very explosive in the sports world.
Faced with such a situation, his coach often told him not to stay with girls all the time, which would affect his game, but Rodman did not listen to this.
Despite this affair history, Rodman attracted the attention and pursuit of many people, and Madonna was one such person.
Perhaps Rodman was born with a strong body and physique and exuberant male hormones, so he deeply attracted Madonna.
When they first met Rodman, Madonna had just ended a failed marriage, in which they did not give birth to another failed marriage.
But it is precisely because of Rodman's appearance that Madonna, who has just experienced emotional setbacks, has new hope.
It can be said that Rodman brought Madonna a different feeling.
Therefore, in order to be able to give birth to the crystallization of love with Rodman, she even said that as long as she could have a child with herself, then she would give Rodman $20 million.
In many people's opinions, it may be thought that why Madonna insisted on wanting to bear a child for him?
As a public figure, she can pursue a more perfect and clean person.
But Madonna herself knew very well that Rodman gave him feelings that were completely different from those given to him by other members of the opposite sex in the past.
Madonna was very brave to express and reveal her feelings about Rodman, but in one of Rodman's books called "I Go My Own Way", some of the ideas he mentioned deeply hurt Madonna.
In the end, for a series of reasons, Madonna separated from Rodman.
But this result is actually predictable, Rodman, as a "playboy", at his age, it may be impossible to calm down, marry and have children in peace.
Even after separating from Madonna, he was in love with many people.
Today's life is enviable
A few years after breaking up with Madonna, Rodman has been in love with different female stars or women, such as famous stars Carmen Electra, Jenny Bass, Michelle Moyer and so on.
At the same time that he fell in love with these heterosexuals, they also brought the crystallization of love.
For example, he and Michel Moyer had two children, one boy and one girl.
Another example is the child born to Madonna.
And now he also has his own happy life, such as his current daughter, named Trinity, is 21 years old, and has a talent for sports and its strength.
And Trinity was also the best and best of Rodman's many children.
Perhaps inheriting Rodman's excellent athletic talent, his daughter Trinity also achieved excellent results in many competitions.
But his daughter also made it very clear that her father was not too involved in his own upbringing.
Today, Rodman is now in his 60s, but according to media reports, his life is still good.
Even in his 60s, his youthful dashing and unruly, and playboy's heart have not weakened.
But thinking about it, we will find that although he is in his 60s and his basic learning ability is no longer available, it may be very difficult for him to change some of his previous behaviors and habits.
Think about it from another angle, that is, if it becomes different from before, then many people will also question him, or this change in response to him may also push him to the cusp again.
There is a saying on the Internet that a man is a teenager to death, and many people will take it as a joke, but if it is used in Rodman, it seems to be the perfect fit.
Summary:
Looking back at Rodman's various behaviors, in fact, one reason that is inseparable may also be caused by the childhood growth environment.
Growing up in that environment, he desperately wanted to oppose escaping the system, and slowly this desire formed an urgent need that burst out as he became an adult.
This led to a series of playboy behaviors.
Even now, the "unruly" appearance of his youth has not diminished in the slightest, although he lives a life that is delicious and envious.
However, we do not advocate such behavior, as a public figure, the public still hopes to set an example with their words, deeds and behaviors, and lead people to create a good sports culture environment.
