The media sensation, who was previously married to Carmen Electra, had shown his flamboyant style over the years. In 1996, while promoting his memoir "Bad As I Wanna Be," he appeared in a horse-drawn carriage wearing a wedding dress to marry himself, claiming he was bisexual.
The year prior, in 1995, he attended the 15th MTV Awards in a sparkly top and low-hung jeans. He also rocked full-on makeup while attending the 69th Academy Awards Vanity Fair Party.
He then dyed his hair and once sported an HIV/AIDS ribbon in a televised playoff game. "At the time, that was borderline revolutionary for an American pro athlete," Rodman's memoir co-author Tim Keown said.
