Not welcome back, according to the story, until he completes his rehab. And then, presumably, he'll go back and do it all over again, because that's what addicts do.

I remember when the Bad Boys won their first championship. Was living in Orion Township at the time. Rodman was a phenom on a very fun team. Nothing better than Rodman, Salley and Vinnie coming off the bench to light it up. He cried like a 6' 7" baby on the podium following the championship parade. Completely endearing. Dude just kept getting weirder and weirder, obviously, and at some point, then, the drugs took over completely. He'll be dead soon.

Who hasn't taken a piss and a shit in a hallway?

We're all going to be dead soon.

A relatively soon anyway.

so Rodman's endearing past is not enough to keep an old right wing crank from wishing harsh judgment upon him... "He'll be dead soon." I imagine him writing that line with perverse glee.

Sad story if true, but I take it with a grain of salt. It was reported by "Free North Korea Radio", which in all likelihood has a definite interest in portraying Kim Jong Ill (spell?) in a bad light, which this story does since he was very friendly towards Rodman. I definitely support their cause to be rid of a very cruel and possibly insane ruler, but I also recognize that the actual facts might be exaggerated in their reporting of this story.

I do hope Rodman is able to overcome his addiction to alcohol, though.

Maybe someone should put a call into Dr. Drew (Pinski)

Is Rodman really 6' 7" tall?

I stopped @ a donut shop one weeknight while on the way to my job on the graveyard shift in the spring of '92. The woman waiting on me seemed to be very distracted while I paid for my coffee and donuts inside the store. When I turned to leave, I noticed that Dennis was standing right behind me. I am 6' 5" and he didn't appear to be any taller than I am. I was surprised to see him there that late in the evening but was not completely certain that it was Worm...that is... until I spied his customized white Vette in the parking lot. There were no other customers parked or inside when I left.

Wrong, Champ, so wrong, and about so many things. The above is just the latest. The problem is you don't know that you don't know. You don't even know that you are the judge!

Agree that the source is questionable. On the other hand, there was that live meltdown thing on CNN. Rodman seems capable of anything. Unlikely that his addiction is limited to alcohol.

How the hell would you have a clue about what Dennis Rodman is or is not addicted to?
