One of the most unique and eccentric players in the long and storied history of the NBA, Dennis Rodman has continued his unusual, yet entertaining, lifestyle since retiring from the NBA in 2000.
Appearing on NBC television's "Celebrity Apprentice," Rodman was fired last night after spelling the name of Melania Trump incorrectly while running a campaign for Trump's skincare line.
On various ads and posters promoting the products, Rodman and his team that included country music star Trace Adkins, Playboy Playmate Brande Roderick and rapper Lil Jon repeatedly spelled Trump's name as "Milania" instead of the proper "Melania."
Not happy about Rodman's poor spelling, Donald Trump was quick to dismiss the former NBA star.
"Dennis, the fact is you spelt her name wrong, so Dennis you lost," Trump said on the hit NBC program. "You are the project manager, you did lose and you are fired."
The words no one wants to hear on the show were the final words Rodman received in his last appearance. While the four-person team and their project manager Rodman made what seems like a minor mistake, only misspelling one letter, the fact that it was a major name in their ad campaign and that it was Donald Trump's wife ultimately cost Rodman his spot.
Known for his tenacious defense and phenomenal rebounding abilities, Rodman spent time on five teams throughout the course of his 15-year NBA career. Amassing well over 11,000 rebounds in his career and winning 5 NBA Championships, Rodman was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2011.
