Dennis Rodman is the kind of guy who needs to have the wildest night for it to be a good one. His standards are already too high. Rodman was a known party animal. The stories of him flying out to Vegas in the middle of the NBA Finals, and MJ having to drag him out, while he was in bed with Carmen Electra are legendary stories.

And being no stranger to the latest trends, Dennis knew where to have fun. Even in a city like Chicago, which is far flung from the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas, he knew the right places.
Like finding water in a desert, Dennis found a nightclub perfect for debauchery. And he indulged in a night of fun just before an NBA Finals game. Of course, he would. This is Dennis Rodman we’re talking about.
Dennis Rodman needed a “wild techno night” to perform at his best
Most people like to unwind by heading home and catching sleep and much-needed rest. Especially athletes. But Dennis Rodman is not most people.
During the 1996 NBA Finals, game 6 no less, he decided he wanted to have a night out. Another championship on the line didn’t matter.
A night of sake and sushi soon turned into an exploration of Chicago’s booming nightlife and a visit to Crobar, a wild nightclub. By wild, we mean literally wild.
Dennis Rodman’s antics were ‘crazy’ to say the least
The Worm was a master of the bacchanalia and all of this happened right before he put up a monster stat line of 9 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals.
But just how exactly wild is Crobar? Well, we will let Dennis himself tell you that.
“We ended up at Crobar, where they have a bondage rack and men will stand there writhing in pain while voluptuous women pour burning wax onto their nipples, and people in elevated cages dry-hump each other to the beat of ear-splitting techno-house music played by a lesbian deejay named ‘Psychob****’.
Another reason why Dennis Rodman was just far beyond ‘crazy’. He was progressive. His attitude was right and that meant he was allowed into places that normal people would be shocked at.
An NBA player on the periphery of modernism, only Dennis Rodman would be capable of such a personality.
