Interestingly, it was an attire issue by ‘Dennis the Menace’. Rodman once stepped onto the basketball court wearing jersey number 69. He was stopped by several NBA officials and was escorted back to the dressing room to make him change his jersey.

In a conversation with Vlad TV, Rodman said, “They pushed me back in the tunnel. They said you ain’t wearing that.” The five-time champion made it clear that the officials were adamant he changed the number of his jersey because of connotations of the number 69 to a certain s**ual act.

Rodman also revealed that Mark Cuban once gave him a massive pay cheque in order to help him out when he joined his Mavericks.
