Former NBA star and Hall of Famer, Dennis Rodman, finally decided to meet his father after 42 years. The father and son met this Wednesday in Philippines. The father was surprised when he heard that the son was also present at the same arena and wanted to meet him. Philander Rodman Jr., admits of fathering as many as 29 children by 16 wives.

The father once also tried to contact him in 2006 in Manila, but the son refused saying he was not interested in meeting him. Talking to the media about the new amazing advancement, the father said that he had been trying to contact him for years, and had finally got his son. It was the first time since 1969 when he got a chance to hold hands of his son.

Although the father spent just three minutes with his son, yet he looked quite happy and contented after the meeting. They could not share many words with each other, because the son had been surrounded by his fans who wanted him to sign their shirts and faces. Rodman Jr., has given his personal contact number to his son, and the son has assured him that he would call him.

Earlier, the son was angry on the father, as he said that the father did not return back to his mother after fathering him. The father is of the point of view that he did not want to abandon his family in USA, but just he could not spend much time with them for some reasons.

The father was invited to the game by former players of Pistons and Bulls. Just minutes before the game, Dennis grabbed a microphone and said that he knew his father was present in the arena. Upon hearing that Rodman stood up on his seat showing his baseball cap that read “Yes, Dennis Rodman is my son”.
