Parish: Rodman 'Sweetheart' Despite Wild Persona

Robert Parish, the former NBA star, recently shared insights about his former teammate Dennis Rodman in an interview with HoopsHype. Parish praised Rodman as 'one of the nicest people you will ever meet on this planet,' directly contrasting with the wild image Rodman cultivates publicly.

Parish also noted Rodman's exceptional self-promotion skills, comparing him to Muhammad Ali and Madonna in his ability to maintain the spotlight. However, he emphasized that Rodman's controversial behavior was calculated, saying 'if he was crazy, he was crazy like a fox.' The Hall of Famer also briefly mentioned a heated practice incident involving Michael Jordan during his final season in the league.
