NBA Fans Bash Utah as Rare Video Shows Jazz Fan Throwing Coke at Dennis Rodman

Dennis Rodman experienced a wildly successful career on the basketball court. He also maintained an eccentric life off the court. Rodman dominated the NBA while playing for the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons. A throwback video shows Rodman being doused with Coke by a rival franchise’s fans.

The video shows Rodman celebrating the Bulls’ 1998 Championship win. As he exits an interview on the court, he proceeds towards Utah Jazz fans to face up to them. At that very point, a Jazz fan throws Coca-Cola into the face of Rodman, leaving the Bulls star bewildered and incensed.

The Bulls faced the Jazz in the 1998 NBA Finals. This was a repeat of the 1997 NBA Finals where the two sides met previously with the Bulls triumphing over the Jazz. The 1998 Finals witnessed the Bulls complete yet another three-peat with the trio of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Rodman at the helm.

NBA legends Karl Malone and John Stockton led the Jazz. Rodman scored seven points and recorded eight rebounds and one assist against the Jazz in Game 6. He eventually left the Bulls in 1999 and joined the Los Angeles Lakers.
