No doubt, Mike Tyson and Dennis Rodman are among the most iconic sporting figure in the USA’s sporting history. Both were reasonably good in their respective sports and were also famous for their off-court behavior, which was the flamboyant attitude and controversies.

As both spent time in Las Vegas during their illustrative career, the Basketball Legend revealed how once his friend slapped the former heavyweight champion, which infuriated the latter so much that he threatened to kill him.

Rodman, who retired as the greatest rebounder in NBA history, joined Tyson on his podcast and recalled an amusing incident he had with ‘The Baddest Man on Earth’.

Since both had sizeable fortunes, they often used to spend time shopping in Downtown, Las Vegas. Once Rodman, along with his friend, crossed paths with Tyson in the Versace Store.
