New Releases by Dennis Rodman

La storica autobiografia inedita in Italia 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.

Since I was a kid, I had always prided myself on my discipline in the things that really mattered-in the weight room, on the court (forget the refs), defense, rebounding, in how I play the game. Off court was my business; but suddenly things had changed.After the motorcycle accident, my agent, Darren Prince, was so worried about my partying that he called in the cavalry, my former bodyguard, Wendell "Big Will" Williams-a six-foot-four-inch, 400-pound black man to whom people, including Dennis Rodman, tend to listen. Wendell was coming out of bodyguard retirement to make sure I did what I was supposed to do when I was supposed to do it. He started out strong at the Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas. It was exactly a week after the Treasures motorcycle crash. Despite my usual protests-"I don''t want to do this. This is bullshit. It''s not gonna help my career"-that afternoon Wendell managed to get me, sober no less, to this series of round-robin interviews with every radio station in America. This went on for hours before the actual awards show that night, and Wendell wouldn''t let me drink. Afterwards, it was like I''d just run a marathon, and I went out by the pool to relax with a cool one while he went upstairs to shower. When Wendell got back down, I was wasted. This was all new to him. In the three years since he''d worked with me, I''d started spending much more time with my friend, Herr Jdgermeister, and this was his first time to see Dennis Rodman, Daytime Drunk.Darren was on my ass. Wendell was on my ass. My best friend, Thaer, was on my ass. Even my wife, Michelle, was on my ass. Anyway, after the motorcycle accident and my skid-row-drunk performance at the Radio Music Awards, ESPN satdown Michelle for an interview. "I''m done. I''m ready for a divorce," she told the interviewer. This from a woman who has "Mrs. Rodman" tattooed just above her butt in letters about an inch high.By the end of October 20

A wild ride inside the glowing head of Dennis Rodman—the NBA''s greatest rebounder and America''s most outspoken and outrageous athlete. When Sports Illustrated put the man they call "America''s most provocative athlete" on their cover, they sold more copies than any other issue they had sold in a decade (except the swimsuit issue). 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. In Bad as I Wanna Be he shares his surprising and candid opinions on: • Mortality: “If I die young, everybody’s going to say they saw it coming.” • His game: “I never want to score. Never. I want to rebound.” • Having it all: “From the outside I had everything I could want. From the inside I had nothing but an empty soul and a gun in my lap.” . . . And so much more, including his life, from going to prison for stealing watches to his daughter, the light of his life. At a time when most celebrities and professional athletes try to control their public personas like politicians and refrain from expressing their true beliefs, Dennis Rodman is a refreshingly unique, uncompromising individual who both transcends his world and refuses to conform to it. Bad as I Wanna Be is as candid, intriguing, and unforgettable as he is.

In Words from the Worm, the colorful creature who turned the NBA into a three-ring circus holds court on an array of issues. In his own words, he tells of his troubled upbringing, his mighty rebounding skills, his philosophical approach to life, his flair for women''s clothing, his status as a cultural icon, and much more.

The shoot-from-the-lip basketball superstar is back and badder than ever in his inimitable ''guide to living'' - as outrageous and inflammatory as the day-glo rebounder himself - a jolting, original, and enlightening follow-up to his number one bestseller ''Bad As I Wanna Be'' which sold 800,000 copies in hardback alone!

Basketteur des "Chicago Bulls", bête de spectacle des plus délirantes, travesti à ses heures, "bad boy" de la NBA défiant ses dirigeants et se moquant d''être un modèle pour les jeunes, Dennis Rodman, en dépit de ses efforts de non-conformiste acharné, incarne bien malgré lui le "rêve américain". Parti de rien, il a gravi tous les échelons de la réussite, vécu une idylle avec Madonna, tenté sa chance à la télévision et au cinéma. Dans cette autobiographie sulfureuse - un grand best-seller aux Etats-Unis - il raconte son trajet, livre ses pensées intimes et surtout nous fait partager sa réelle passion pour ce sport par lequel tout est arrivé, le basket.
