“It was crazy, like two kids in a candy store,” Electra said.
“The Worm” was a different breed
If you watched last night’s two installments of The Last Dance, you heard all about
Dennis Rodman’s mid-season vacation to Las Vegas and how his girlfriend Carmen Electra tried to hide when Michael Jordan himself went to pull Rodman out of bed.If you’re like me, the Rodman-centric third episode of the documentary left you wishing there was an entire “30 for 30” just about The Worm. Judging by the interview Electra gave to Greg Braxton of the Los Angeles Times, there would be more than enough material.
Electra told Braxton how she and Rodman met at a Los Angeles night club and quickly began a whirlwind romance. She would fly to Chicago to see the Bulls play and cry on the flight home because she already missed Rodman.
When the couple was able to get together, they made the most of it. Electra detailed one particularly eventful off day spent with Rodman at his workplace.
“One day when the Bulls had an off day from practicing, Dennis said he had a surprise for me,” Electra told the Times. “He blindfolds me and we get on his motorcycle. When he finally takes my blindfold off, we’re standing at the Bulls practice facility, center court. It was crazy, like two kids in a candy store. We were eating Popsicles from the fridge and pretty much having sex all over the damn place—in the physical therapy room, in the weight room. Obviously on the court.”
“Obviously” on the court.
Just another reason why there’s nobody in the NBA these days quite like Dennis Rodman.
