Chicago Bulls legend Dennis Rodman was a monster on the board during his playing days. The five-time NBA champion has seven rebounding titles to his name and was a part of two NBA dynasties. As much as Rodman drew attention for his gameplay on the court, his off-the-court activities got a fair share of the spotlight as well. 

Rodman was an integral part of the second three-peat the Bulls pulled off in the late 90s. Apart from his rebounding prowess, he was a great defender and part of the big three alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. 

Jonathan Majors in talks to play Dennis Rodman in an upcoming movie

In recent news, MCU star Jonathan Majors may be playing the role of Dennis Rodman in ‘48 Hours in Vegas’. Majors is famously known for his role in the ‘Loki’ series where he plays Kang the Conquerer. 

Now he is set to play basketball legend Dennis Rodman in this upcoming movie. Rodman’s infamous trip to Las Vegas had become a huge highlight and topic for debate in 1998. Amidst the 1998 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz, Dennis Rodman had asked his head coach Phil Jackson if he could go to Las Vegas for 48 hours.
