"Jail food made me grow a whole f**king foot!": Dennis Rodman reveals how The Worm went from 5'8" to 6'8" all at the age of 20

Dennis Rodman speaks on growing a whole foot taller when all hope was lost before his life in the NBA

During his time in the NBA, Dennis Rodman was a bit of a madman, wasn’t he?

On the court, he’d find a way to swallow up each and every rebound that ever got close to him. And off it, he’d find a whole lot of other things to attract.

And let’s just say you’re going to want to see it.

Jail food? That’s the answer?

Hey, we’re not judging! At the end of the day, his growth spurt at 20-years-old was HIGHLY unlikely. And yet… here we are.

Maybe an investigation needs to be started on potential magic beans being poured into food.
