Rumors

Chapters of Dennis Rodman’s story have been retold over the last month thanks to ESPN’s “The Last Dance,” a 10-episode documentary that focuses on Michael Jordan’s last season with the Bulls in 1997-98. The final two episodes will air Sunday night. Rodman was the star of Episode 3, but his time sporting blue and gold at Southeastern Oklahoma State University was only chronicled by a few seconds of grainy footage. How Rodman arrived in Durant, Oklahoma, is what Reisman can only describe as a “fairy-tale story.”

For three seasons at Southeastern Oklahoma State, Rodman found a home for himself at Bloomer Sullivan Gymnasium. He averaged 25 points and 15 rebounds a game, leaving no doubt that he gave it his all. "He was like a kid playing a game. He loved it. You could tell by the emotion, he just enjoyed playing the game," said former teammate, and current Kingston ISD employee Philip Stephens. "Especially game time when the crowd was there."
