Dennis Rodman's Emotional NBA Hall Of Fame Speech
 

Wow. This is a must watch. This guy really let his guard down for this.

Once I was at the Cheesecake Factory in Mission Viejo for dinner. They had closed off the entire outside area for Dennis Rodman. But the funny thing was, he sat out there all alone.

He was wearing a big floppy hat and just sat there and sipped his soup. He looked very lonely and kind of melancholy. I never forgot that. You could kind of see the man behind the craziness.

I can't help but contrast this with Michael Jordan's accusatory and self-aggrandizing speech from a few years back.

I spoke with him several times when he was in San Antonio with the Spurs. He was always a soft spoken person, contrary to the antics that he pulled for the media. He was always very polite, and nice.

That was good. Humility can be so attractive. Good on him.

I met him a few times when he was with the pistons at a restaurant I worked at. Soft spoken is spot on. He was just a kid then and he was super nice and always made sure to say hi and shake hands with everyone in the kitchen.

Nice speech.

Jordan couldn't be there for him? That's wrong in my book

Agreed, I always liked Jordan but he is proving to he a douche.

I like Rodman. The dude was a great player, did what he wanted, and he got to smash the hell out of Carmen Electra!!!

Literally less than 3 weeks ago one of my best friends was doing E and some other stuff with Rodman and his son in Ibiza.

He owned up to a lot.

I tried to watch the video but fell short. Was this before or after he was on celebrity rehab?
