-Descripcion Original:

A wild ride inside the glowing head of Dennis Rodman-the NBAs greatest rebounder and Americas most outspoken and outrageous athlete.When Sports Illustrated put the man they call Americas most provocative athlete on their cover, they sold more copies than any other issue they had sold in a decade (except the swimsuit issue). Why? Because Dennis Rodman has more in common with Mick Jagger than with his teammate Michael Jordan. With his body-covering tattoos and ever-changing fluorescent hair, Rodmans sideline antics and celebrated benchings captivated sports fans as much as his record-breaking on-court performances and earned him a reputation as a rebel with the same penchant for shocking behavior as his on-again off-again squeeze, Madonna. In Bad as I Wanna Be he shares his surprising and candid opinions on:* Mortality: “If I die young, everybody’s going to say they saw it coming.”* His game: “I never want to score. Never. I want to rebound.”* Having it all: “From the outside I had everything I could want. From the inside I had nothing but an empty soul and a gun in my lap.”. . . And so much more, including his life, from going to prison for stealing watches to his daughter, the light of his life.At a time when most celebrities and professional athletes try to control their public personas like politicians and refrain from expressing their true beliefs, Dennis Rodman is a refreshingly unique, uncompromising individual who both transcends his world and refuses to conform to it. Bad as I Wanna Be is as candid, intriguing, and unforgettable as he is.
