Dennis Rodman is among the most unique personalities in the world of basketball. Whether it was the flamboyant hair or partying through the night in Vegas before a Finals game, Rodman’s legacy is full of colorful moments. Moreover, post-basketball, Rodman carried over that personality into his many media appearances. Just recently, Dennis was in the news for his controversial comments about Celtics legend, Larry Bird. But, one thing he has been consistent with is respect.

In an interview, the 5-time NBA champion had words of respect for the music icon, Madonna.

Dennis Rodman has an unbelievable Madonna story

While opinions on Rodman run in all directions, his fame is undeniable. As seen in The Last Dance, the Rebound King was so integral to the Chicago Bulls‘ success that Michael Jordan ran around Vegas trying to find him.

Naturally, such a controversial figure has some infamous stories as well. One of the most famous of the bunch came during a popular Rodman interview. In it, he indirectly said that he and Madonna participated in a threes*me.

When asked about it, Dennis denied the rumors but not before showering praise on the music sensation, who he briefly dated in 1994.

“We had a mutual agreement…How the situation was, stuff like that. I respect Madonna, man…She’s probably the only woman has created all these young girls today where they are today. I’ll give her that.”

Rodman credited her for opening doors, explaining, “She gave these young kids today a platform. But, as far as doing that thing…I never wanted to have s*x with her in the beginning…She knows the story, I know the story.”?

While Dennis Rodman wasn’t shy about divulging details, his respect for her certainly came through. Recently though, the entire entertainment world was left in shock when the 64YO was rushed to the hospital.
