Rodman: 'I've Decided Not to Retire After All'

AOL Special Report

CHICAGO (Jan. 20) -- In a normal course of events -- for Dennis Rodman -- the
enigmatic forward has gone from retired to on a one-year sabbatical to wanting
to play for a contender this season over a period of a couple of days.

In a statement Wednesday to<A HREF="aol://4344:919.admain1.1003641.525796545">
Athlete Direct</A>, Rodman said he had a change of a change of heart and wants
to return to the NBA in 1999:

"OK, so here's the deal… I've had some long discussions with the people I
love, the ones whose opinions matter the most to me, and I've decided not to
retire after all.

I know yesterday I said I was history, and with the NBA lockout and everything
going on, I really thought I should stop playing. But, I've been reviewing my
options, and those options still include playing in the NBA this season with a
contender. Chicago, New York and L.A. are all cities I'd like to play in.
Playing overseas could be pretty cool, too. 

Besides, there's the one thing I've always told my fans I would do in my last
game that I still haven't done. I'm sure you know what that is, but I still
have to come back for at least one more game -- so that I can get buck naked
on the court.

I'm gonna drop by the Tonight Show on Friday, and I'll be able to tell you
more details then. I appreciate all your support, and I'll check in again
soon.

Peace,
Dennis"
