Bad boy Hall of Fame basketball player Dennis Rodman told ESPN that he became “unhirable” when he stopped drinking eight years ago — but his agent, Darren Prince, insists otherwise. Rodman had told ESPN’s Mark Schwarz on Sunday that people in the NBA “wouldn’t touch me” when he was sober: “I was boring,” Rodman moaned. But Prince tells Page Six that Rodman, who makes a living in large part by hosting nightclub parties, had scored plenty of work sober, including his first ad during the Super Bowl in 2005.

“Even in his prime with the Chicago Bulls in the mid-’90’s, he never had a Super Bowl commercial,” Prince explained. Rodman’s drinking, said Prince, has “sabotaged” opportunities for him — from commentator gigs on sports networks to television appearances after the tattooed and pierced athlete appeared on “Celebrity Apprentice” in 2009, where he was fired after he drank on the job. “I know if he got sober, he could get a coaching job. He could be a rebounding coach, possibly work in the front office,” Prince said, adding, “We’ve had many discussions with TNT and others, and they all say the same thing — he’s too risky, because they don’t know if he’s going to show up drunk or not show up at all.”
