Dennis Rodman Reveals 2 Players Michael Jordan Refused To Talk To

Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman came together to create a Chicago Bulls dynasty that some regard as the most dominant in NBA history.

Unfortunately, that didn’t lend itself to them having a good relationship.

Pippen, in particular, despises Jordan. Not long ago he went so far as to make a pretty disturbing allegation against him.

Jordan’s feelings on Pippen are a matter of public record, too.

Rodman seems like more of a neutral party. Jordan and Pippen neither like him nor hate him. They are totally ambivalent towards him.

That makes him a perfect party to offer some unbiased information.

During a recent interview, Rodman revealed two players that Jordan refused to talk to.

Hilariously enough – he was one of them.

“Well, I think it was important for me to go there and win,” Rodman said. “Me and Scottie, and Michael, never had a conversation in three years in Chicago. “Only time we had a conversation is on the court. That was it. And nobody believes that.

“Only people I had a conversation with was probably Jud Buechler, Randy Brown, Steve Kerr, Luc Longley and other players. But me, Michael, and Scottie, we never had a conversation off the court.”

In some ways that sounds kooky. But in other ways, particularly given the status of their relationships now, it makes sense.

Rodman is full of interesting anecdotes. And unlike Pippen, he doesn’t sound bitter when he shares them.

It will be interesting to see what sort of other fun tidbits Rodman drops in the coming years.
