Chicago Bulls legend Dennis Rodman isn’t just another NBA legend. Even decades after his retirement, the 62-year-old legend holds an influential place in the NBA world. Moreover, he didn’t fail to sway the newest hot prospect from France, Victor Wembanyama. A video of the San Antonio Spurs rookie and his 20-year-old teammate displaying their Rodman effect went viral. Fans flooded social media comments with hilarious opinions.

Wembanyama isn’t the first Spurs rookie to get influenced by the Rodman effect. 20-year-old Jeremy Sochan also faced his fair share of trolling from fans when he brought out his inner Rodman energy. Now that both stars ended up in the same franchise, fans will have a busy regular season making memes. Importantly, the trolling has already begun for the duo after their new viral video.

The Dennis Rodman effect takes over Wemby and Sochan

There isn’t any definition for the term ‘Dennis Rodman effect’, but fans sure do have their own understanding. Rodman played an influential role in the Bulls’ second three-peat along Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Apart from his skillful play on the court, fans admired him for his flamboyant personality. He always stepped out in style with a striking costume on, often changing hair dye colors, tattoos and piercings.

Moreover, the hair dye effect impacted Jeremy Sochan, who played his rookie season in the 2022-23 season under a 4-year contract valued at $24 million. Despite his average performance on the court, he attracted a lot of fans’ attention because of his ever-changing hair dye colors like Rodman’s.

Following Sochan, his newest teammate Victor Wembanyama also joined the party. Sochan took to his IG stories and revealed Wemby’s new look.

The French baller sported a Rodman-like hairdo with multiple colors on it.

Eventually, the official Twitter handle of the NBA shared it, and fans went haywire in the comments.
