Shaq Says Dennis Rodman Rarely Showered, Still Had Women All Over Him

Dennis Rodman usually dominated on the basketball court, then stunk it up afterward. But according to former teammate, Shaquille O’Neal, Rodman’s postgame aroma didn’t stop women from flocking to Rodzilla.

"He’d get 25 rebounds, stinkin’ like shit," O’Neal said of Rodman on his podcast, The Big Podcast with Shaq. "He’d put his clothes on (after the game), go to the club, and have the baddest women I’ve ever seen in my life. Surrounding him. Hugging him."

Dude had game even if he was a little gamy.

Rodman, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, averaged 13.1 rebounds per game throughout his 14-season NBA career and was twice named the league’s Defensive Player of the Year. Maybe more impressive, he dated Madonna and was briefly married to Carmen Electra.

All this while seemingly showering as often as Jeff Bezos combs his hair.

"He smell like garbage truck water," Shaq said of Dennis, who rebounded but reeked. "And he got models on him at the club."

Talk about a backhanded compliment.

Shaq, who shared a (probably foul) Lakers locker room with Rodman for 23 games during the 1998-99 season, still seems shocked by The Worm's actions 25 years after the fact.

"I was party guy," O'Neal continued. "…but I ain't never seen what I seen with Dennis Rodman."

Apparently, it doesn't stink to be Rodman, even if your sense of smell would tell you otherwise.

Rodman's lack of hygiene was bothersome to O'Neal. But it wasn't so much the stank Rodman was letting off, it was the fact that women didn't seem to mind. Despite his B.O., plenty of baddies were ready to G.O. home with the five-time NBA champ.

"I was mad," Shaq said of Rodman's ways. "Not ‘cause he had the girl, (but because) this mother-f***er didn’t even wash his ass!"

They don't make 'em like Dennis Rodman anymore. Nobody nose that better than Shaq.
