Rodman denied the drinking charge, and told NEWSWEEK that he was being made the scapegoat for a team playing below expectations. “They need someone to blame for what’s happening on the team and I’m that guy,” he said. “They are cowards for putting all of it on me because people know the truth–I’m the fall guy.”
Rodman, 37, is free to sign with another NBA team (though he’s not eligible for the playoffs). But he always said he came to L.A. to conquer Hollywood. Besides his on- and off-court antics, he has already snagged a cameo on “L.A. Doctors.” And if that fails, there’s always professional wrestling. Rodzilla may yet strike again.
