Dennis Rodman was among the most controversial players in the NBA. His tenacity and toughness on the court made him an invaluable asset for the various NBA teams he represented. However, it was extremely tough to handle the five-time NBA champ, who was often surrounded by controversies. As a result, Rodman found it hard to stay with a single team for a long time. He got traded due to his differences with team management and fights with teammates. After winning two championships with the Detroit Pistons, Rodman was traded to the Spurs where he stayed for two seasons. Before being traded to the Bulls, Dennis Rodman’s former Hall of Famer Spurs teammate left him cringing with a bizarre demand in a resurfaced Pizza Hut commercial from 1995.
Dennis Rodman and two-time NBA champ David Robinson appeared in a gunny Pizza Hut ad in the 90s. In the video, Robinson gave Rodman a bunch of advice about loosening up his uptight personality, leaving the Chicago Bulls legend feeling weird.

In the resurfaced video, David Robinson made a bunch of peculiar demands to Rodman while claiming that the Bulls legend needed to open up a bit more. Robinson said, “Be provocative! Don’t be so conservative, shake things up. Be shocking.” The absurd demands from his former Spurs teammate were clearly a joke because Rodman was known for his whimsical escapades, while Robinson was comparatively more reserved. The remarks from Robinson left Rodman shaking his head.
