While some stars like to devote some of their private time responding to fans, a lot of athletes and stars like to maintain their privacy. Rodman is not one of the athletes who turn away fans whenever they are out.
During an interview on the Full Send Podcast, Rodman was asked whether he turns away fans during his daily activities which require him to go out. The former NBA champion gave a heartening answer to his question.
Rodman said, “It’s very difficult to say no. It’s very difficult to say especially with kids, I don’t say no to kids.” However, Rodman has limits. He explained that he doesn’t like it when people cuss at stars for not responding to them or accepting their requests.
