Rodman says he never had a conversation with Jordan or Pippen

Chicago Bulls players Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan celebrate after winning a title. Rodman says he never spokes to Pippen or Jordan while he played with the team.

Dennis Rodman did a lot of things with the Chicago Bulls. Having a conversation with Michael Jordan or Scottie Pippen was not one of them.

Rodman, who says "I thought it was important for me to go there and win" tells ESPN's Graham Bensinger that his conversations were with Randy Brown, Steve Kerr and Luc Longley but "me and Scottie and Michael never had a conversation in three years in Chicago. Only time we had a conversation was on the court, that was it. And nobody believes that."

The lengthy interview also has Rodman talking about his reputation, his gambling and his drinking. "I burned both ends of the candle....and I'm still here."
