Dennis Rodman and his mid-season trip to Las Vegas were in the spotlight in the latest episodes of "The Last Dance," and his appearance in the series has prompted more wild stories about the Hall of Famer.

While recording an episode of NBC Sports Chicago's "Bulls Talk Podcast," former NBA guard Kendall Gill shared a story about partying with Rodman at a New York gentlemen’s club the night before a game between the New Jersey Nets and Chicago Bulls.

"So, I end up leaving about 12:30, which was kinda late for me, but I knew one of the girls there. Actually, I knew several of them. But one in particular, I said, 'Listen, I'm gonna call you in the morning, I want to know what time Dennis left,'" Gill said. "So, I call her after shootaround and she goes, 'He was in there 'til four, five in the morning.'

"I was like, 'Oh, he won't be able to run with us tonight, we got him.' So I got the scouting report, and I go back and I tell all of the fellas, 'You know, Dennis was hanging out,' this and that.

"Dennis comes in that game, and I believe he had like 20 rebounds, man. Runs like a racehorse."

Rodman led the NBA in rebounds per game for a record seven consecutive seasons, including his three years with the Bulls.
