Dennis Rodman Unveils Bare-Hopes Idea

Playing basketball while naked from the waist up sounds like an uncomfortable — if not painful — experience for women. But Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman plans to coach a topless team for HeadQuarters Gentlemen’s Club in New York City.
“I don’t know too many men that don’t like a good-looking woman running up and down around the court,” Rodman told the New York Post. He said players will wear shorts and skimpy shirts at first. “They’ll come out in a T-shirt or a tank top, but when the game starts, they’ll go topless.”
Rodman isn’t the first former NBA player to be associated with topless basketball. Another strip joint, Rick’s Cabaret, formed Rick’s Basketball Association in November and landed Spud Webb as one of its coaches.
That news barely caused a blip on the news radar screen, though at least one website shared its outrage. However, Webb isn’t close to the eccentric Rodman in his ability to draw attention, whether it’s donning a wedding dress, marrying Carmen Electra or having an affair with Madonna.
