Sinossi
L'imperdibile autoritratto di Dennis Rodman, finora inedito in Italia. Il manifesto della sua umanità e filosofia: schietta, coinvolgente e sempre protagonista.
In campo è stato un ottimo, fantastico giocatore. Fuori dal campo è diventato una delle personalità più discusse e incontenibili della storia dello sport. Sfrenato, sfrontato, senza compromessi, Dennis Rodman è un personaggio unico per generazioni di appassionati di basket e di spettacolo. Il corpo ricoperto di tatuaggi, i piercing e i capelli fluorescenti sempre diversi: coni suoi comportamenti equivoci, tanto quanto con le sue prestazioni sportive da record, si guadagnò presto la reputazione di stella ribelle. Questa autobiografia, scritta negli anni Novanta con l’autore Tim Keown, racconta in prima persona la sua versione del mito: dalle origini umili all’esordio della carriera in NBA con i Pistons, fino all’approdo a Chicago, dai temi scottanti di sesso, razzismo e omofobia agli scontri con la Lega, ogni capitolo affronta le sue vicende personali inscindibilmente legate a quelle sportive, seguendo la sua parabola altalenante senza tralasciare gli episodi più noti, come il sostegno a Magic Johnson nel suo momento più buio, e quelli più eccentrici, come la relazione con la popstar Madonna. Ecco a voi Dennis Rodman: l’uomo, l’atleta, The Worm.

Recensioni
Typically with biographies, I'll have two on my bookshelf for each individual; the autobiography, and whichever is considered the definitive, best one as determined by aggregate Goodreads and Amazon ratings. It's always interesting to see how people view themselves, their accomplishments, trials and Leggi tutto
2 Stars for Bad as I Wanna be (audiobook) by Dennis Rodman and Tim Keown read by Tim Keown. This was really disappointing. There must be a better biography of Dennis Rodman. When I started this audiobook I didn’t realize just how short it was. It’s abridged. What is the point of publishing a book ab Leggi tutto
This book didn't come CLOSE to my expectations, and I found it quite disappointing to be honest. Some random thoughts around it: 1. Dennis Rodman says "Bro" like 5000 times in this book. That was kind of surprising, as was his intense love for Pearl Jam, which is mentioned around 7-10 times. 2. The ch Leggi tutto
Dennis Rodman's biography is honest, raw and some self-mockery. This is one of the most honest biographies I read. Of course, Rodman is a cult-hero, the best guard of the successfull Chicago Bulls in the 90's and the American Dream Team. But outside the NBA-court, controversial. Rodman describes how Leggi tutto
Recently I read that "proud non-reader" Kanye West is publishing a book of his thoughts and philosophy. Learning this reminded me of the Dennis Rodman autobiography I read long ago. I have never had any interest in sports, and I think the main reason I asked for it was to see whether my parents woul Leggi tutto
17 years after it's publication, i decided to read the biography of one of the most eccentric but also interesting players ever appeared in NBA. That period i was too young to understand it's worth since like most of the teenagers back then, i loved and admired players that knew how to score, and wh Leggi tutto
I enjoyed this book far more than I ever could have imagined. One of the better, if not the best, sports autobiographies I've read. This book is really about the battles of being a strong individual or conforming to the crowd, it drove Rodman almost to the point of taking his own life. Rodman strike Leggi tutto
Ένας πραγματικός θρύλος της χρυσής δεκαετίας των Chicago Bulls με τα δικά του λόγια. Ο, κατά πολλούς, κορυφαίος ριμπάουντερ και αμυντικός της δεκαετίας του '90 με τα περίεργα μαλλιά μας διηγείται πως έφτασε με πολλή δουλειά να γίνει βασικό μέλος της ομάδας-φόβητρο που σάρωσε τα πρωταθλήματα στο NBA.

I read this book in high school. I actually found it really interesting. It covers everything from how he got into basketball to his relationship with Madonna.
