What you need to know about the family of retired NBA star Dennis Rodman

What you need to know about the family of retired NBA star Dennis Rodman

Dennis Keith Rodman is considered one of professional basketball’s all-time greatest players. He started off with the Detroit Pistons in 1986 and grew within a short while to become one of the team’s dominant defender and rebounder. Rodman was equally a great asset when he joined the Chicago Bulls; he led them to multiple championships and was ultimately inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2011.

Date of Birth: May 13, 1961

Zodiac Sign: Taurus

Rodman in his younger days did not appear quite athletic or outward going. He was short for most of his years in high school, was cut out from his school’s soccer team and he quit basketball also because it wasn’t looking like something he should be doing. After high school, Dennis found work as a janitor but in his off-time, could be found practising at local basketball courts. He kept playing until he caught the attention of a family friend who in turn introduced him to coaches that became his helpers.

He is famous also as a wrestler, for his reality show appearance, his love for tattoos and piercings and his unusual friendship with the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un. Rodman has had his own fair share of romantic relationships; he has been with a number of celebrity girlfriends and got married to three different women with each union ending in divorces. Keep reading to know all there is to know about the family life of “TheWorm”.

Air force pilot and Vietnam War veteran Rodman ran off with another woman when Dennis was just eight years old and for decades, he never set eyes on his son. Philander is famous for his philandering lifestyle and is reportedly the father of 29 children with 16 women. After he left his three kids, he moved to Philippines where he opened a bar but now runs Rodman’s Rainbow Obamaburger restaurant. For 42 years, he was estranged from his son but they eventually met in July 2012 after an exhibition game in Manila, Philippines.

According to Philander, he was surprised his son agreed to meet him on that day as he had been trying for years to meet his celebrity son. Papa Rodman wished he had time to explain to his son that he never abandoned him but Dennis was only able to spare a few minutes for handshakes with his dad as he had tons of autographs to sign and had to get on the move, they parted with Philander giving his number to his son for him to keep in touch.

She had three kids with Philander before he abandoned them to be with other women. After her husband left, Shirley moved to Dallas where she struggled to keep her children fed and clothed by taking almost any odd job that came her way. Things between Dennis and his mother were not always good as she was not in support of his lifestyle. She wanted him to be more “responsible” and one time issued an ultimatum that he was to go to college, enlist in the armed service or get another job. She eventually packed his bags and kicked him out of her house then basketball became for him his savior. Mother and son eventually mended their relationship and today, Shirley is incredibly proud of her son’s achievements despite his very rough start.
