Shaq Gets Into It With Rodman, But Jordan and Pippen Intervene
The only reason Rodman in Chicago worked was because Jordan, Pippen and Phil Jackson kept him on a short leash. Anytime he acted out, one of the Bulls' leaders would step in.

This is just classic Rodman. Iverson was a young player here and The Worm got the best of him on this night.
The Worm has had some financial hardships in his post playing days. So much so, that he sued his former friend/assistant for $4,000.
The Worm did it all back in the day. He was so popular in 1998 that even WCW wanted to put him on camera. He teamed with Hollywood Hogan to wrestle DDP and Malone at Bash at the Beach 98.
At a media outing to promote his book 'Bad As I Wanna Be' Rodman dressed up like a bride. People already knew he was weird at this point, but this stunt put him into bizzaro land.
Rodman might be the greatest in NBA history at playing mind games with other players. He could get in anyone's head and throw them off their game. This is a classic example.
The Bulls ended up beating the Heat 4-1 in the 1997 Eastern Conference Finals. Along the way, Rodman angered and wrestled with Zo a ton.
Rodman has battled alcoholism and did a stint on Celebrity Rehab. He also joined Donald Trump for a run on Celebrity Apprentice. Ya Fired.
This is a fairly 'rare' clip of Rodman taking out Jordan back in the day when Detroit and Chicago hated each others' guts.
It's a wonder these two were ever able to get along in Chicago after this incident in the 1991 Eastern Conference Finals.
You can say what you want about Rodman, but there's no doubt he belongs in the hall of fame. Here's his emotional induction speech:
This clip is more of the ugly side of Rodman's career. While he may not have made solid contact, he headbutted that official.
Even The Worm himself isn't sure why he kicked this innocent camera man in the groin. This is without question one of his most bizarre moments.
Only Dennis Rodman would buddy up to North Korea. Who knows where his head is at on this one. Here's his explanation:
There's no denying that anytime Rodman stepped on the court that he gave it his all. From jumping into the crowd for loose balls or putting his body on the line to draw a charge, The Worm would do it all on the hardwood to give him team an advantage. This video sums up his entire career:
