On Sport and Society. 132. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/onsportandsociety/132 SPORT AND SOCIETY FOR H-ARETE JUNE 15, 1998 After watching Michael and the Bulls win a sixth NBA championship you can only come away with a sense of awe at what this team has done. In the process however one Bull doesn't get his due as a basketball player, although one hears and sees more than enough about him for his off-court activity. The next basketball book out of Chicago ought to be titled Rodman Rules. Clearly the most colorful of the Bulls has become a key member of the championship team, and clearly for Dennis Rodman the rules are different. Phil Jackson said as much admitting a few days ago that the only hope for reforming Rodman would be "shock therapy." I hate to admit this but I may be falling in love with "The Worm," both as an anti-hero and a basketball player although certainly not a role model.
