Dennis Rodman’s infamous trip to Las Vegas during the 1998 NBA Finals has long been the stuff of legend. Now Hollywood wants to bring that story to life on the big screen as a feature film that involves Rodman as a producer, Variety reports.
“48 Hours in Vegas” will be a retelling of the well-publicized two days that Rodman spent away from Bulls during their Finals rematch against the Utah Jazz.
The core of the story, which was rehashed as part of the ESPN documentary series “The Last Dance,” is well known: With the Bulls on the brink of their sixth NBA championship, Rodman asked coach Phil Jackson for time off in the middle of the series against Utah.
