When ‘The Last Dance’ aired, we got a lot of insight into what went down during the 1998 title-winning season of the Chicago Bulls. The docuseries largely highlighted the journey of Michael Jordan in the NBA, but often gave us an enriching experience into the lives of his teammates as well. For instance, we got to know about Dennis Rodman on a deeper side through the docuseries. 

People saw Dennis Rodman as the guy with the crazy hairstyles. But, he was much more than that. The five-time NBA champion had several issues off the court. But he sure did pull up a notch when he stepped on to the court. 

The 59-year-old is as funny as ever, and is trying to keep himself active on social media. Last month, Rodman sent out a hilarious birthday message to Drake, which the rapper posted on social media. Now, Rodman is extremely excited as he’s received amazing gifts from a very prominent personality.
