Dennis Rodman had his first reunion with his father in over a decade last week - and it wasn't pleasant.

According to the former NBA star's agent Darren Prince, Rodman's dad, Philander, showed up at an exhibition game in Manila "with a camera crew and an entourage of eight people and two bodyguards - he had apparently sold the rights to get him on camera with Dennis.

A scuffle broke out and Philander threw a punch at Rodman's bodyguard, but missed . . . Dennis felt used and was angry as his father has made only one attempt in 40 years to see or talk to him, and that was in 1996 when he wanted the rights to write a book about Dennis." Later, an undeterred Philander showed up at Rodman's hotel with his camera crew where armed guards chased them away.

Prince claims that "hundreds of fans" knew what was going on and started chanting, " 'Get out of here, you deadbeat Dad.' "
