After helping the Chicago Bulls complete a three-peat, Dennis Rodman bounced around the NBA before retiring. His final stop was in Dallas in 2000, when he suited up in 12 games for the Mavericks.

During a recent appearance on "Vlad TV," Dennis Rodman talked about his arrival in Dallas. He explained that when he needed somewhere to live, Mark Cuban offered the future Hall of Famer his home. On top of letting him live in his house, Cuban gave Rodman $100,000 to buy whatever furniture he wanted.

"He wanted me to live with him. He said 'you ain't going nowhere you're gonna come live with me'. I'm like I am all right s**t ... f**k it I gonna live with his a**."

Dennis Rodman has shaky relationship with Mark Cuban

Things might have started out well between Rodman and Mark Cuban, but it didn't end that way. When the former Chicago Bulls star was released, he felt bigger powers were at play. Mainly that the NBA higher-ups forced Cuban's hand as he was getting ready to become the owner.

"If it’s not a personal thing, then it’s the NBA, saying if you don’t get rid of Dennis Rodman, then you’re not going to be an owner,” Rodman said. “I think it’s an injustice because I’m me, Dennis Rodman. I haven’t done anything wrong. I thought I was doing a good job. I thought I lived up to my expectations. I don’t get it. I really don’t get it. I get the short end of the stick every ... time. What am I doing wrong?

Rodman said he left feeling blackballed. He was once a key piece of championship teams for the Bulls and Detroit Pistons. But in the end, according to him, he felt used just because he was a popular name in the league.

I got used again,” Rodman said. “It’s like being blackballed. I’ve done so much for this league and people want to see me play. ... I don’t get it.

Despite how his career ended, Rodman was still inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2011.
