How ya'll not gonna bring up his run with the Lakers in 99 with Kobe & Shaq
The Los Angeles Lakers finally had enough of Dennis Rodman and his bizarre behavior, waiving him last night seven weeks after signing him.
Rodman showed up late again for the team's practice yesterday morning and was slow getting ready because he could not find his socks and shoes. Coach Kurt Rambis told Rodman to go home and said the team was through with its special treatment of the eccentric forward, a seven-time league rebounding champion.

Team policy for injured players is they show up an hour before practice to receive treatment. Rodman, who turns 38 last month, did not do that.
''I just asked him what was going on, he said he was looking for socks and shoes, and I told him practice was 11 (A.M.) and then I said, 'Why don't you just go home?' '' Rambis told reporters after practice. ''Any player being late at any time was not how I handled Dennis. I don't think anybody handles it that way.''
Rodman, who signed with the Lakers on Feb. 23 and played his first game with them three days later, has told the coaching staff four times in his 23 games that he was unable to answer their request to return to a game.
And that does not include the four games he missed last month when he left the team for eight days, claiming he needed time off to deal with personal problems.
Early last week, Rodman's publicist announced that Rodman and his wife, the actress Carmen Electra, had agreed to end their five-month marriage.
The Lakers won their first 11 games with Rodman in uniform but are 6-6 since that time with him playing. They are 8-9 without him. He is averaging 11.2 rebounds in 28.6 minutes of playing time.
Rambis's reaction to Rodman's sitting out the second half Tuesday night was, ''He said his elbow was bothering him, and I'll take it for that.''
Rambis had removed Rodman from the game with 2 minutes 31 seconds left before halftime. Rodman had four rebounds in 13 minutes of the Lakers' most one-sided loss of the season, which dropped them to 25-15 with 10 games left in the abbreviated season.
When asked to return to last Friday night's 96-89 victory over Minnesota in the fourth quarter, Rodman declined, according to Rambis, saying his muscles had stiffened up. Rodman was over an hour late to practice the next day.
In the 1999–2000 NBA season, the then-38-year-old power forward was signed by the Dallas Mavericks, meaning that Rodman returned to the place where he grew up. For the Mavericks, he played 12 games, was ejected twice and alienated the franchise with his erratic behavior until he was waived again; Dallas guard Steve Nash commented that Rodman "never wanted to be [a Maverick]" and therefore was unmotivated.[42] Despite the negative feedback, Rodman averaged 14.3 rebounds per game. This would have been enough to lead the league had he played enough games to qualify.
Lovitz, looking uncomfortable slapping tennis balls with Rodman, is able to do little but mutter under his breath and plug "High School High." Leno, after climbing off of his bike, is left sharing pizza with, and fending off questions about his erotic fantasies from, the now orange-haired host. Rodman: "Jay, do you like to get loose?" Leno: "Well, I'm kinda traditional." Stop the presses. If show one is painful, however, a future half-hour featuring Rodman with Kelsey Grammer, "Melrose Place's" Laura Leighton and rocker Pat Smear is outright torture. Rodman, now sporting his version of salt-and-pepper locks (green and white), arranges a poker game for the group that plays like "Politically Incorrect" on acid, minus the euphoria. He asks Leighton if her man "satisfies" her. They all climb in the Jacuzzi. All of them sip champagne (including the pre-rehab Grammer). Then Rodman pushes Smear to kiss Grammer on the lips. Woooh, how naughty! God bless cable television.
