Former NBA champion Dennis Rodman had a very unique sense of style. This led to the notion that everyone in Rodman’s family dressed up in that way, at least that’s what Shaquille O’Neal thought. Shaq once dressed up very unusually, and he was actually dressing up as Rodman’s sister! Looking at his attire, it seemed as if Shaq is trying to dress up like Dennis Rodman rather than the latter’s sister. 

The Los Angeles Lakers legend was pictured trying to dress like Rodman’s sister all the way back in 1998. Interestingly, Shaq was in that weird attire during a segment of a very popular show.

Former teammate Shaquille O’Neal dresses up as Rodman’s sister

Four-time NBA champion Shaquille O’Neal is one of the jolliest personalities in the sports world. Although he pulls off a prank to entertain his audiences once in a while, what he did in 1998 was truly out of the world. 

During an appearance on MAD TV, Shaq Diesel dressed up and pretended to be Dennis Rodman’s fictional sister, Denise. In the picture, Shaq can be seen wearing some heavy makeup along with a dress with some outrageous color choices. Additionally, the 7-foot- 1 inches tall Shaq also sported a colored wig. This was aired on MAD TV and was the fourth season of the show. Interestingly, Rodman has two sisters, and none of them are named Denise!

The Chicago Bulls legend has two sisters, Kimberly and Debra. Their father, Philander, abandoned Shirley Rodman and she raised all three of her kids almost singlehandedly. 

Rodman once detailed his life living with his sisters

Philander, Dennis Rodman’s father, left his family when the future NBA champion was only three years old. As a result, his mother was handed the task of raising her kids alone.

She had limited time for Rodman as she apparently paid more attention to her daughters. The NBA Hall of Famer once said, “And my mother just didn’t have enough time to be with me. She was always more interested in my sisters.” Despite the lack of attention from his mother, The Worm never acted negatively.

She also kicked him out of the house when he was very young. Rodman had to spend his time doing trivial jobs and scrounging for a place to stay. He persevered through this rough patch and became the legend that he is today.
