Dennis Rodman
Do the young people even know who Dennis Rodman is anymore? There was a point in time when he was a very big deal in basketball; he played for the Chicago Bulls, who were very dominant in basketball for a long time. What he was really famous for, though, was his crazy lifestyle choices, from his crazy appearance to marrying Carmen Electra only to immediately divorce her.
So yeah, this definitely tracks. To be honest, you could have said a lot more bizarre stuff, and I still would have nodded and said “yes, that sounds exactly like something Dennis Rodman would do.” He’s just that kind of person. You would believe nearly any story you heard about him.
