The Last Dance covers many of Rodman’s most famous moments: his relationships with Madonna and Carmen Electra, his penchant for cross-dressing, his impromptu mid-season trips to Vegas. But Rodman being Rodman, there are still plenty more that didn’t make it in.
“There are a lot of people out there that are more worthy of this money,” he told the New York Times in 1990. “You can’t help everybody, but you can help some people. I make millions now.

Episode three of The Last Dance includes a cracking sequence where Rodman explains his knack for grabbing errant balls. Never was his “relentless, kamikaze, no-holds-barred pursuit of missed shots” more apparent than in his first season with the San Antonio Spurs, where an early-season run saw Rodman combine an ultra-hot stretch on the boards with absolutely no scoring whatsoever.
