Why? Because Dennis Rodman has more in common with Mick Jagger than with his teammate Michael Jordan. With his body-covering tattoos and ever-changing fluorescent hair, Rodman's sideline antics and celebrated benchings captivated sports fans as much as his record-breaking on-court performances and earned him a reputation as a rebel with the same penchant for shocking behavior as his on-again off-again squeeze, Madonna. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBad as I Wanna Be\u003c\/i\u003e he shares his surprising and candid opinions on: \u003cbr\u003e- Mortality: \"If I die young, everybody's going to say they saw it coming.\"\u003cbr\u003e- His game: \"I never want to score.
