At last, we have got a Dennis Rodman update about the Chicago Bulls‘ Ring of Honor, which is all set to hit the stage today in a few hours. The fans have only received disappointing news in the last few days. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen both have informed the Bulls that they will not be attending the inaugural due to unknown reasons. However, Jordan showed his gratitude for the honor through a small video, which the Bulls shared yesterday. Rodman decided to thank the city himself. 

The 5x NBA champion shared a few pictures of him in an iconic Bulls jacket and added in the captions, “Appreciate You Chicago #ringofhonor…I love you guys…Always…Forever…THANK YOU!!!”. Fans are happy that Rodman has at least acknowledged the honor. We are yet to hear from Pippen.

Rodman was the only genuine star who badly wanted to attend the ‘Ring of Honor’. Although he did make the plans to join his Bulls family back at the United Center, last minute weather conditions did not allow him to rejoice. The National Weather Service have issued a ‘Winter storm warning‘ at Chicago until tomorrow noon, due to heavy snowfall. This unexpected move from the nature almost made Rodman tear up.

The 5-time champion shared, “I tried to come in, I wanted to really bad, but I guess the weather has prevented me from coming to Chicago. I can’t even talk, I’m getting emotional again,”. Both Jordan and Pippen had no plans to attend the event.
