Dennis Rodman is popularly identified as a Chicago Bulls legend or one for the Detroit Pistons. But some fans would remember his stint in the San Antonio Spurs before joining the Bulls. Although without a ring, his brief stay in San Antonio wasn’t any less exciting. Rodman famously transitioned into an ultra-famous media personality during the time because he was “bored”. Although Dennis the Menace enjoyed beating his bitter rivals, he also went on to play for them later in life. He once described his feelings while beating his future NBA team. 

Rodman loved to beat the Chicago Bulls as a part of the Detroit Pistons. Similarly winning in Los Angeles was his source of excitement even though fate would land him playing at the Los Angeles Lakers. 

Dennis Rodman mentioned his love for winning in L.A back in 1995

The Worm was at a different stage in life with the San Antonio Spurs and was enjoying his wild and eccentric life. Back in 1995, Rodman was interviewed just before the Western Conference Finals. 

In an article in Sports Illustrated, Rodman was asked how he felt about the upcoming Conference finals. Although he didn’t bother about it much, he did have some thoughts on the semi-finals that they won against the Lakers.
