Former Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls legend and NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman was one of the most mercurial and controversial stars in all of sports in the 1990s, so it only seems right that Rodman's life and career will be documented in his own ESPN “30 for 30” documentary.
In his Saturday column for the Los Angeles Times, Arash Markazi laid out the details of the documentary, which will debut next month:
Rodman will have a major role in “The Last Dance,” a 10-part 30 for 30 series on the 1990s Chicago Bulls that will debut next year. Rodman, however, will get his own 30 for 30 documentary, which will premiere Sept. 10 on ESPN. The film will be narrated by Jamie Foxx and chronicle Rodman’s Hall of Fame career and infamous exploits on and off the court.
Early in his career, Rodman was a central figure of the “Bad Boys” image with the Detroit Pistons. His incredible athleticism and length made him one of the premier defenders and rebounders in basketball.
After winning a pair of titles with the Pistons, Rodman had a rather forgettable two-year stint with the San Antonio Spurs. However, Jerry Krause and the Chicago Bulls would gamble on Rodman, who headed to The Windy City to help the Bulls achieve their second three-peat of the decade.
While Rodman led the NBA in rebounds per game every year between 1991 and 1998, he became just as renowned for his dyed hair and off-court antics, something that has followed him after his playing days ended at the turn of the millennium.
Needless to say, NBA fans will want to tune in for this one.
