Rodman: 'I'm not an an alcoholic'

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman recently checked himself into an alcohol-rehabilitation center, but according to Rodman it wasn't for alcoholism.

Rodman says he entered rehab to reevaluate his life, not to give up drinking. Rodman says he's not an alcoholic.

“I needed to decompress from all the things I was going through,” Rodman said Friday by phone from Miami. “I was trying to get this game going and get everything going in North Korea.

“I don’t need to drink,” Rodman said. “I don’t need to do anything. I went to rehab just to sort things out. That’s it.”

My school of thought was that if you went to a treatment center that you had a problem with what you went in for. That just doesn't apply on Rodman's world.

“I’m not an alcoholic,” he said. “An alcoholic drinks seven days a week. I don’t drink seven days a week. When I drink, I don’t hurt nobody, I don’t have no DUIs, nothing like that.

“I didn’t go to rehab for drinking. There aren’t too many people who quit drinking going to rehab. Not too many people can do that.” 

Rodman said he will return to the rehab center every six months "to see where I'm at."

Maybe Dennis doesn't drink seven days a week but I'm pretty sure that he drinks more than the average person in three days than they do in seven. Rodman needs to recognize he has a problem, but knowing him it'll never happen.
  

John Kerry says Dennis Rodman is no diplomat

Former Detroit Pistons star, Dennis Rodman recently made a trip to North Korea and took in an exhibition basketball game with dictator Kim Jong Un.

No matter what Rodman says, that trip was far from a political junket even though he spent time with the reclusive leader,something not many get to .

United States Secretary of State, John Kerry, didn't seem to thrilled with the trip and didn't give Rodman any credit for his so called breakthrough.

Kerry said today that the former Bad Boy “was a great basketball player, and as a diplomat, he was a great basketball player.”

“That’s where we’ll leave it,” he told NBC News in an interview in Qatar.  

I know our government is at odds with North Korea, but Kerry should loosen up a little.
