Dennis Rodman Creates Topless Basketball Team (VIDEO)
Dennis Rodman is dribbling his way back onto the basketball court only this time he will be opting for a clipboard instead of a basketball.
The former controversial NBA star, who was known for his knack for rebounding the basketball, will coach a "topless" women's basketball team for Headquarters Gentleman’s Club in New York City.
Rodman got the idea for the team after he came across stories which reported that rival strip club Rick’s Cabaret had decided to start a league while the NBA lockout was going on. Rick’s Cabaret partnered with former Atlanta Hawk great Spud Webb. Rodman has even challenged Rick’s Cabaret’s topless team to a charity game, according to the New York Post.

Rodman, 50, was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2011, but is better known for his antics off the hardwood. From a short marriage to Carmen Electra to dressing up in woman’s clothing and always offering colorful comments after the game that matched his weekly hair color.
Rodman, who declared that he has been a Headquarters customer for more than 30 years, is now looking for players to fill his roster. Rodman explained that he would be holding tryouts in the coming weeks at the club for woman who make the minimum height requirement of 5 feet 10 inches tall.
“You don’t have to have too much experience, just know how to throw the ball into the hole,” Rodman told Page Six of the New York Post.
Rodman started to create his team after Rick’s Cabaret announced back in November that it had formed Rick’s Basketball Association in the absence of the NBA during the lockout. The league dissolved when the lockout ended.
“I don’t know too many men that don’t like a good-looking woman running up and down around the court,” Rodman told Page Six.
A spokesman for Rick’s said, “We stepped aside when the NBA returned.” The Spokesman continued, “We love Dennis . . . His regular table at Rick’s Cabaret is available. We wish Dennis well in coaching another team, but if the RBA was still in existence, we would have made Dennis our commissioner.”
