Basketball's Ultimate Bad-Boy Dennis Rodman Announces Partnership With OPEN Sports
Rodman to Join the OPEN Sports Celebrity Roster, Providing Personal, Professional Sports Insight
Deerfield Beach, FL (PRWEB) November 18, 2008 -- OPEN Sports (www.OPENSports.com), an online sports entertainment destination created by Mike Levy, founder and former CEO of CBS Sportsline.com, has joined forces with notorious and legendary NBA superstar, Dennis Rodman. Known for his rebellious antics on and off the court, Rodman will add his own style and attitude to the OPEN Sports lineup.
Rodman, also known as "The Worm", will share his knowledge of the game through self-written blog entries, video logs and participation in interviews with various sports personalities on and off-line. Throughout the season Rodman will offer game predictions, commentary and analysis. Rodman will also interact with fans online and in person at live sporting events.

Phil Jackson was recently quoted as saying that Dennis Rodman was the best athlete he's ever coached. "He could probably play a 48-minute game and play the 48th minute stronger than the first minute of the game," Jackson said. "He was that terrific an athlete."
"Signing Dennis signifies an exciting time at OPEN Sports," said Mike Levy, founder and CEO, OPEN Sports. "We're committed to giving our fans the absolute best in sports news and entertainment, and we know Dennis will offer expert basketball analysis in the distinctive entertaining fashion he's known for."
"OPEN Sports is giving me the ability to bring fans inside my life and answer their questions about me, basketball, anything," said Dennis Rodman. "I've been on a lot of championship teams in my life and I am excited to be a part of the winning team at OPEN Sports."
About Dennis Rodman:
Nicknamed "Dennis the Menace" and "The Worm", Dennis Rodman is best known for his fierce defensive and rebounding ability during his playing days in the NBA. Rodman spent 15 years in the NBA, winning Championships 5 times (Detroit Pistons: 1989, 1990; Chicago Bulls: 1996, 1997, 1998). He also earned NBA All-Defensive First Team honors seven times and was an NBA Defensive Player of the year twice. Many would agree, however, that Rodman's greatest achievement was that he led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record setting 7 consecutive years. To this day, many still consider Rodman to be the best rebounder to ever play the game.
Off the court, Rodman has also had success appearing in numerous movies and TV shows. Currently, he's featured on Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling and filming Celebrity Apprentice Season 2, which will air in early 2009.
