“When I wrote this script in 2020 while I was in a deep covid fever, I never thought anyone would buy the script, let alone think we would get people as incredible as Lord and Miller and Jonathan Majors .’
At 33 years old and six feet tall, the Yale School of Drama grad is four years younger and six inches shorter than the flamboyant baller in the 1998 NBA Finals.
The eccentric 61-year-old is executive producer of 48 Hours in Las Vegas, which recounts the time he took a “vacation” in Sin City with his skittish assistant GM.
“Phil, if you let this guy go on vacation, we’re not going to see him,” Chicago Bulls shooting guard Michael Jordan recalled in ESPN Films’ 2020 docuseries The Last Dance.

Michael continued: “If you let him go to Vegas, we’re definitely not going to see him. So [head coach Phil Jackson] looks at Dennis and said, “Well, can your vacation last for 48 hours?” And Dennis says, “I have no other choice. I’ll take what you give me. I’ll take 48 hours.”
Hijinks: Rodman never showed up and Jackson and Jordan had to physically take him out of his Vegas hotel room while his girlfriend Carmen Electra (L, pictured in 1999) hid under a blanket behind a couch
