Dennis Rodman has always been quite a character.
On the court, he played with such aggression and ferocity that it was hard for fans not to appreciate it. Obviously, for his teammates, it often gave them the push they needed to get the job done.
Off the court, his wild personality often made its way to the cameras, as Rodman was a media sensation back in the day for his wacky and wild sayings and behavior.
Rodman is so interesting, in fact, that a single weekend of his life is getting made into a film, where he will serve as an executive producer.
The former Chicago Bulls star — who’s long been known for his bromance with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, with whom he once shared a night of karaoke, vodka and “some hotties” — will give viewers another look into his wild side, thanks to a forthcoming feature film.
“48 Hours in Vegas” by Lionsgate — and with Rodman himself serving as executive producer — will document the crazy bender that Rodman had during the 1998 NBA Finals.
Rodman’s famous Las vegas vacation came during the middle of a season when coach Phil Jackson allowed him to take a multi-day break.
Needless to say, Rodman took advantage of the opportunity, throwing a massive and wild party in Vegas that is the stuff of legend.
Viewers may remember this trip as the subject of a cliff-hanging ending of Episode 3 of “The Last Dance,” a popular 2020 docuseries on Netflix. While Scottie Pippen dealt with an injury during that 1998 season in which he missed the first 35 games, Rodman took on more responsibilities with the Bulls. And despite stepping up for the team, it drove Rodman to the brink of burnout — and he wanted to blow off some steam.
Of course it lasted longer than 48 hours. Four days passed and Rodman spent time partying with then-girlfriend Carmen Electra and his crew.
“It was on, the party was started right away,” Electra says in the documentary. “It was definitely an occupational hazard being Dennis’ girlfriend. He was wild.”
No information has been released yet on the details behind this Doc and when we can expect its release, but it definitely seems like an interesting experience and the NBA community should get a kick out of it.
