Dennis Rodman owes almost $900,000 in unpaid child and spousal support, and a judge has told him that he could face up to 20 days in jail if he doesn’t pay up.

According to TMZ, Rodman’s ex wife Michelle filed papers this month claiming the former NBA star owes her a little over $860,000, including exactly $808,935 in unpaid child support for his 9 and 10-year-old children, and $51,441 in unpaid spousal support.

But it turns out, there is no way the flamboyant basketball legend will be able to pay anywhere close to that amount, because according to his lawyer, he is “broke and cannot afford any additional fees.”

Rodman’s attorney Linnea Willis also claims that the 50-year-old former Bulls player is “extremely sick,” in reference to his well-known struggle with a major alcohol addiction, as he famously discussed on the third season of Dr. Drew’s “Celebrity Rehab” reality show.

Rodman’s finance manager Peggy Williams, who has loaned the five-time NBA champion money for past child support payments, says the stress of the case is taking a toll on his health and he’s turning to alcohol like never before.

“In all honesty, Dennis, although a very sweet person, is an alcoholic,”" Williams said. “His sickness impacts his ability to get work. This case, especially his wife filing for divorce, has put him on a binge that I have never seen before. He is extremely hurt and extremely sick. He is often unable to obtain work because of the sickness. And his sickness is getting increasingly worse.”

She continued, “Dennis cannot afford his own monthly expenses. If the court awards attorney fees, it is setting Dennis up to be in contempt because you cannot get blood from a turnip.”

But Michelle Rodman (his third wife) says Dennis flies all over the world getting paid to host nightclub parties, which means that he is not COMPLETELY broke, and can therefore afford to pay up something.

To make matters even worse, Orange County court documents state that Rodman also owes $350,000 in back taxes after withdrawing his NBA pension to pay off previous debts.

In addition to his marriage with ex-wife Michelle Rodman, the basketball player was also previously married to Carmen Electra and he also dated Madonna.

Last year, Dennis Rodman celebrated his 50th birthday dressed in women’s lingerie with a bunch of scantily clad women.

Wonder how (or even if) he’ll be celebrating this year.

Wearing sexy, black, lacy women’s lingerie, Carmen Electra’s ex-husband Dennis Rodman celebrated his belated 50th birthday with a bunch of chicks at Chateau Nightclub at the Paris hotel in Vegas on Tuesday. Sometimes even a guy likes to slip into something a little more comfortable.

SMH, why are we NOT surprised! Guess some things never change…

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has unashamedly admitted that he once splashed out $80,000 during a trip to a strip club back in his hay-day when he played for the Chicago Bulls in the 90’s and was worth around $9 million.

Rodman revealed this tidbit of information to TMZ last Wednesday night (May 11) as he hit the town to celebrate his 50th birthday in New York at the Headquarters Gentleman’s Club, where he dropped some more singles (nowhere near $80K we hope though).

In other Rodman news … the controversial two-time NBA All Star Award winner will soon be inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. So what is he planning on wearing to the special occasion? According to what he told TMZ, his outfit may include a “circus clown, midget and a drag queen.” Whatever the hell that means.

Dude is 50 years old and still acting like a weirdo. Isn’t it time for him to grow the eff up?

It’s been confirmed people. Dennis Rodman, the greatest re-bounder in NBA history and one of the league’s best defenders for a decade, will enter the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

The Hall, which recognizes players, coaches and executives for their contributions to collegiate, professional and international basketball, announced its 2011 class on Monday (Apr 4) during the Final Four in Houston.

Rodman, who spent 14 seasons in the NBA, won five NBA championships, two with the Pistons and three with the Chicago Bulls after Michael Jordan’s first retirement and comeback.

Dennis was also an incredible re-bounder — the best ever — and a great post defender. Rodman won seven rebounding titles — notable during the era of Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson – and currently has the No. 1 total rebounding percentage of all-time.

Congrats Dennis!

Dennis Rodman is the latest celebrity to owe Uncle Sam some money! Or maybe he isn’t…

According to recent reports, the state of California filed a $42,495 tax lien against the former NBA player last year. However, the 49-year-old’s business manager says that has “got to be incorrect” because Rodman received a refund check from the state last year worth about “$42,000 or $43,3000″

“We just got a refund check from the state for $42,000 or $43,000,” Rodman’s business manager, Peggy King, said. “If you owed the money, you’d never get a check from them … it’s got to be incorrect.”

In related news, the Detroit Pistons plan on retiring Rodman’s No. 10 jersey during a halftime ceremony on April 1st. Rodman was influential in helping the Pistons win two NBA titles back-to-back in 1989 and 1990 before he went on to play for other teams, including the San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Chicago Bulls.

Dennis Rodman is also expected to learn later this week if he’s a finalist for the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
