From Basketball to Pyongyang: Dennis Rodman’s life and career have been anything but ordinary

[post_page_title]Before the NBA: Homeless Dennis[/post_page_title]
Before making it in the NBA, Dennis Rodman was homeless. According to Sam Smith, a Bulls writer who wrote Rodman’s biography for the Hall of Fame induction, after Dennis left Cooke County, his mother had “had enough,” and wouldn’t let him back in the family home. Rodman himself references being homeless in his Hall of Fame speech and says his mother kicked him out of the house because she “can’t take” him anymore. Rodman said he resented his mother for a while, but the two have made up since.
