Steve Kerr Claims Dennis Rodman Skipped NBA Finals Practice To Attend Wrestling

Kerr recently shared an intriguing story about Rodman. We all know that Rodman wasn’t the best role model, and most won’t be surprised by the story at all.

Per USA Today Sports:

“If this sounds bizarre, well, it is. Rodman also skipped practice between Games 3 and 4 of the 1998 NBA Finals so he could attend a WCW wrestling match in Auburn Hills, Michigan.

The kicker: the Bulls allowed Rodman’s quirky behavior because it did not affect his on-court excellence. It only enhanced it.

There was a real connection that existed that gave Dennis the freedom and space that he needed. It wasn’t a thing where we were all complaining of Dennis not making it to a practice. We sort of understood that he was his own man and he did so much for our team that we allowed him to have that freedom.”
