这算不上什么新闻，但对我而言却是头一回听说。而且这事儿实在是太逗了。
丹尼斯·罗德曼 (Dennis Rodman)，史上最伟大的篮板手之一，曾主动请缨为道格·里弗斯 (Doc Rivers) 照看孩子。
据里弗斯回忆，这件事发生在他们俩都为圣安东尼奥马刺队效力期间。
里弗斯在1994年至1996年间为马刺队效力，那也是他在NBA的最后一段生涯。
罗德曼则是在1993年至1995年间为这支银黑军团效力。在圣安东尼奥，他彻底释放了自己狂野不羁的一面。这段时期也恰好夹在他效力于底特律和芝加哥的生涯之间——正是在那两支球队，他赢得了自己的五座总冠军奖杯。
这件事发生在1994-1995赛季的某个时候，这也是两人在马刺队唯一有交集的赛季。当时，里弗斯的长子耶利米 (Jeremiah) 大约八岁，女儿凯莉 (Callie) 六岁左右，而奥斯汀·里弗斯 (Austin Rivers) 则只有三岁上下。
里弗斯当时想出门，而罗德曼则主动提出可以帮忙照看孩子们。
里弗斯是在解说一场湖人对阵国王的比赛时，回忆起这段往事的。
“那是我在圣安东尼奥时发生的事，就那么一次。当时我想出门，就让丹尼斯·罗德曼帮忙照看了一晚奥斯汀，”里弗斯说道。“我不知道自己到底是年度最佳家长，还是最糟糕的家长。”
这选择确实有些不同寻常，但时隔多年，却成了一段有趣的佳话。

Dennis Rodman once babysat for Doc Rivers
This is not news, but it was new to me. And it was hilarious.
Dennis Rodman, one of the greatest rebounders of all time, once volunteered to babysit for Doc Rivers.
According to Rivers, this happened while both were playing for the San Antonio Spurs.
Rivers played for the Spurs from 1994-1996, his finale in the NBA.
Rodman played for the Silver & Black from 1993-1995. San Antonio is where he embraced his wild side. It was also the two seasons between his stints in Detroit and Chicago, where he won his five titles.
This happened sometime in the 1994-1995 season, the crossover when both were with the Spurs, making River’s eldest son Jeremiah at approximately eight-years-old. Daughter Callie would have been around six, Austin Rivers was three or so.
Rivers wanted to go out and Rodman was willing and able to stay with the kids.
Rivers recalled the story while calling a Lakers/Kings game.
“It was a one-time thing when I was in San Antonio. I wanted to go out and we used Dennis Rodman for one night babysitting Austin,” said Rivers. “I don’t know if I’m the parent of the year or the worst parent.”
A strange choice, but a great story all these years later.
