Bad As I Wanna Be

The Story

A wild ride inside the glowing head of DennisááRodman--the NBA's greatest rebounder and America'sáámost outspoken and outrageousááathlete. WhenSports Illustratedput the man they calláá'America's most provocative athlete' on theiráácover, they sold more copies than any other issueááthey had sold in a decade (except the swimsuitááissue). Why? Because Dennis Rodman, superstaráábasketball player who joined the Chicago Bulls for theáá1996 season, has more in common with Mick Jaggerááthan with his new teammate Michael Jordan. Withááhis body-covering tattoos and ever-changingááfluorescent hair, Rodman's sideline antics and celebratedáábenchings have captivated sports fans as much asááhis record-breaking on-court performances andááearned him a reputation as a rebel with the sameáápenchant for shocking behavior as his on-again off-againáásqueeze, Madonna. InBad As I WannaááBehe'll share his surprising and candidááopinions on everything from fame, money, and raceáárelations, to sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll--and he'lláátalk about his life, from going to prison foráástealing watches to his daughter, the light of hisáálife. At a time when most celebrities andááprofessional athletes try to control their publicáápersonas like politicians and refrain fromááexpressing their true beliefs, Dennis Rodman is aáárefreshingly unique, uncompromising individual who botháátranscends his world and refuses to conform to it.ááBad As I Wanna Beis as candid,ááintriguing, and unforgettable as he is.
