If we are talking about why he left its because of his gambling debts and threatened to walk because the league wanted to reprimand him for his egregious gambling and drug usage etc.
Eventually the league begged for him back because NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT HOUSTON so he colluded and got Rodman
Its a lot more complicated than the documentary leads on to believe.
Houston is the 4th most populated city in the country and they have a huge sports market, not as big as LA or NY but in the tier right after that with Philly, Boston, Chicago
also Rockets/Knicks had better TV ratings than Lakers/Spurs and Lakers/Nets ... better views than Heat/Mavs, Celtics/Laker too
the Bucks/Suns, Lakers/Heat, and Raps/Warriors are some of the worst TV ratings the NBA Finals have ever got
