Former US basketball star Dennis Rodman said he could not recall ever meeting a woman who has sued him for allegedly spiking her drink with a drug before raping her.

Rodman, 42, was giving evidence in a civil trial brought against him in by a woman who alleged he assaulted her at his home in the Los Angeles area in March 2001.

"I have no recollection of (the woman)," Rodman told a jury at Orange County Superior Court. "That's two, two-and-a-half years ago."

"I don't recall having sex with your client," he told the woman's lawyer when he asked if the former National Basketball Association bad boy was claiming that he had consensual sex with the woman.

The woman is suing for alleged sexual battery, assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment and civil conspiracy, and is seeking punitive damages against Rodman.

"My theme of this case is 'bad as I want to be,'" the alleged victim's lawyer Marcus Mancini told jurors. "That's what Mr. Rodman thinks he can be, as bad as he wants to be."
