Dennis Rodman was one of the best defensive players to ever play in the league. Along with that, he was also known as a terrific rebounder despite not having the length of his opponents. That toughness and will to win were supported by a wild lifestyle that went on to define his character over the course of his life.
That wild lifestyle saw him party at times no professional was expected to do. The most famous instance occurred when he left to party in Las Vegas. This was right in the middle of their 1997-98 season, and it needed Michael Jordan to fly to Vegas to drag him back into the Chicago Bulls facilities.
This wild partying style has stuck with him to this day. Even now at age 63, he does not shy away from being available for some wild nights. The frequency might have reduced, but his desire to be around a lot of people has not.
In the midst of all this, the two-time Defensive Player of the Year had a relationship with Michelle Moyer who bore him two children. The younger of the two is USWNT star Trinity Rodman. When asked about her relationship with her father while on the Call Her Daddy podcast, she replied.
We had (a Ford) Expedition and we kind of lived in that for a little bit. We tried to live with him, but he’s having parties 24/7, he is bringing random b*tches in. He loves the spotlight. He loves the cameras.

The Washington Spirit forward revealing this suggested her father did not bother if his children were in the car with him. The Chicago Bulls great would bring in people to party and enjoy his time irrespective of what his responsibilities were.
Dennis Rodman almost gave his daughter hope
Other than his wild lifestyle, Trinity Rodman always had hope she would have her father in her life. But for months Dennis Rodman would not connect with her, leaving her helpless. But the five-time NBA Champion almost gave her hope.
When he showed up at my game, I was, like, so mad. I started crying on the field. I’m walking over there so mad, like ‘F**k you.’ I walk over there, he grabs my head, and I just start bawling into his arms as if it’s a daddy-daughter (moment).
