Dennis Rodman was not always the person he turned out to be. On the contrary, he was the polar opposite of his future self. However, Rodman’s exit from the ‘Bad Boys’ Detroit Pistons marked the birth of the version of Rodman we all love and hate today.

The Chicago Bulls legend once addressed his relationship with pop icon Madonna while his transformation into his brand-new self was still underway.

After attempting suicide less than a year ago, Rodman decided to change the scenery and move out of Detroit. However, the Hall of Famer’s geographic relocation wasn’t the only major change in his life. The Worm evolved into the polar opposite of his former self, but it took time to readjust. However, Rodman found himself in a relationship with Madonna during that process.
In an interview a while back, the 5x NBA champion once revealed how his relationship with the iconic singer took off. He said, “I think Madonna saw me as a kid in a candy store; I was trying to find my way, but she’s already done it. She saw this young kid; I was like maybe 30-31, I was just coming out the box, I was coming out the shell, I was coming behind out the closet pretty much.”
Moreover, Rodman also shed light on what Madonna saw in him and found attractive. He said, ” I think she saw a guy like, ‘ Wow he’s very somewhat attractive, nice body, and besides all this, this is nothing, I think she saw me coming out and being free, and I think that was more attractive to her than anything else.”
