Rodman goes on to say that he estimates 10-20% of pro athletes are probably LGBTQ.
“I wouldn’t be surprised, literally, I’ve said it all along, if 10% or 20% of people in the NBA, or any sports, [are] gay,” the controversial athlete says.
“I wouldn’t be surprised. It wouldn’t shock me at all. I think today, it wouldn’t shock anyone. I think that’d be more acceptable now than anything.”

“I was, you know, doing all the drag clubs, I was dressing in drag. I was dressing in women’s clothes. I was doing lingerie and stuff like that and people in the gay community started embracing me.”
“If you’re gay,” Rodman says, “I didn’t give a damn.”
He’s exhausting.
