Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has finally met his estranged father after 42 years of separation, following an exhibition game in the Philippines.
Philander Rodman Jr., who has acknowledged fathering 29 children by 16 mothers, says he was happy and surprised that his son agreed to meet him late Wednesday. He tried to meet the basketball Hall of Famer during another game in Manila in 2006.
’’It was great,’’ he said Thursday of the first time he held his son’s hands since they last met in December 1969.
’’I’ve been trying to meet him for years. And then last night, boom, I met him. I was really, really happy and very surprised,’’ he told The Associated Press. . . .
The 71-year-old Vietnam War veteran now operates the Rodman’s Rainbow Obamaburger restaurant in northern Angeles City.
He said his restaurant menu includes burgers with red, yellow and green colored buns and fries, colors associated with his flamboyant son.
No word as to the meat content of said burgers.
