Never one to be out of the limelight, Dennis Rodman’s celebrity status has grown in stature since he left the sport. While he hasn’t had to go into a typical job, his post-NBA career is so interesting, we couldn’t resist including it on our list today.
His first attempt at a career after basketball involved getting into professional wrestling. Once the gig ran dry, he decided that becoming a political ambassador would be the best use of his time. He even went as far as to visit North Korea in 2013, calling leader Kim Jong Un a “friend for life”. He would later visit North Korea again in 2017. Fascinating, and a little bizarre!

He continues to train and keep up his fitness, with the hopes that he’s going to be getting a call one of these days. We can imagine that sometimes it feels a little hopeless, but never count Birdman out. Sooner or later he may just get the break that he needs.
