One of these stories included Rodman’s friend selling MySpace to one of the biggest News broadcasters in the world.

“My friend owned MySpace, right. He sold it for $500 million to Fox [Broadcasting], right. Then Fox sold it and made $11 billion. So my friend looked at me and said one thing: ‘F**k.’ That’s all he said: ‘F**k.’” said Rodman. 

Rodman was talking about the $580 Million acquisition of the social media company by the News Corporation in July 2005. The social media website later had a huge valuation, making the original seller face a huge loss. MySpace has since died a slow death, and just maybe the decision wasn’t so bad.

The founders of MySpace were Chris DeWolfe, Tom Anderson, and Jon Hart. However, it is not clear who Rodman was referring to. Rodman and his stories are sometimes unbelievable, but the facts suggest that this might be true. The NBA legend narrated this story back in 2013, while casually smoking a cigar on a lawn chair.

The two-time DPOY once went on a 48-hour Vegas trip with permission from his coach. Because he needed some time to refresh. However, Rodman didn’t return after the allowed 48 hours, and Michael Jordan had to go look for him.
