Executive summary: Eccentric ex-pro basketball player

Won five NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls, and earned a reputation as one of the league's best rebounders and most eccentric personalities.

[1] Dennis Rodman, Bad As I Wanna Be (1996): "I'm not gay. I would tell you if I was [sic]. If I go to a gay bar, that doesn't mean that I want another man to put his tongue down my throat -- no. It means I want to be a whole individual. Mentally, I probably am bisexual." But in a 2014 video recorded outside Hooray Henry's in West Hollywood, chatting with a LA County Sheriff deputy, Rodman claims he is both "not gay" and "100% heterosexual."
