“He Thinks He’s Dennis Rodman”: Fans Troll NBA Starlet After Bizarre ‘Shooting One-Handed’ News

Chicago Bulls legend Dennis Rodman was not only famous for his wild rebounding stats and defensive skills, but also for his shooting form. Rodman had arguably one of the weirdest shooting forms as he used only one hand to shoot the ball. With the release point closer to his waist than his face, it was rather difficult for opposing players to block his shot. Although it was unorthodox, Rodman made sure he got the buckets.
The 19-year-old rookie of the San Antonio Spurs, Jeremy Sochan made news recently with a similar shooting form to that of Dennis Rodman. The young guard has started shooting free throws with just one hand. Although Sochan has been successful with this method, fans continued to troll his shooting form on Twitter.

In addition to the similar shooting form, Sochan seems to change his hair color frequently, just like Dennis Rodman did. The young guard has already changed his hair color four times since he joined the San Antonio Spurs.
