One of the events that the actor highlights is a weekend trip to Las Vegas, which should not have been easy. At the time, the 58-year-old was struggling with alcohol problems as well as pressure to act from the Chicago Bulls leadership.
Therefore, the basketball star demanded that management release him, so that he could go to the party town to take a break.
– Leaves the room and goes straight to the airport. Boom, so we don’t see or hear from Dennis in 48 hours, says Michael Jordan in the episode.
According to Electra, the trip to Las Vegas was wild.
– I remember being in Las Vegas with him. The party started immediately. One thing about Dennis: He had to escape. He liked to go out (in nightclubs journ. Note.). We used to go to his favorite restaurant, then we went to a disco. Then we went to the after party and the nachspiel. It never stopped, she says, and adds laughing:
– It was a health hazard to be Dennis’s girlfriend. He was totally wild.
However, what she knew little about was that the 58-year-old was actually going to be in Chicago to train with his team at the time. She discovered it when Jordan arrived and knocked on the door of her hotel room to take the teammate home.
– He’s knocking on the door, and it’s Michael Jordan. And then I hid. I didn’t want him to see me like this. So I was hiding behind the couch with the sheets on me, as Jordan yelled “Come on! We should go back to training.”
The vacation, which lasted longer than expected, so the trip returned to Chicago. According to Rodman, it should have been fairly trouble-free.
– Michael and Scottie (Jordan and Pippen journal. Note) accepted me for who I was and said “You know what? He does what he does, but he cares a lot.” I work hard, but I work hard. I think we got along really well because we wanted to win.
