Da Bulls!

The Chicago Bulls dominated the NBA in the 90s.
Question: Which of Michael Jordan's teammates on the Chicago Bulls also had his own line of Nike shoes called the "Air Shake NDestrukt"?

Growing up in Illinois, basketball was THE sport to follow. My high school didn't even have a football team, but basketball was what we all grew up watching and playing. Of course, I was a huge Chicago Bulls fan. That was a lot of fun in the 90s (which somewhat made up for being a long suffering Cubs and Bears fan as well). Coached by Phil Jackson with Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and all of the extremely talented players that rotated through the lineup in the 90s, they were seemingly unstoppable. The "Three-peat" was an amazing feat and it was great being a Bulls fan.

There was always controversy, as well. Good old Dennis Rodman and all of his unique features and behaviors. It started out with some colorfully decorated hair and a body full of tattoos. Then he dressed up in a wedding dress and married himself. He was a master of PR (both good and bad). If he hadn't been in the news for awhile, you could bet he would do something even more outrageous and be the talk of the tabloids for the next few months.

Knowing all of this and following the Bulls in the 90s really should have prepared me for seeing the news that Dennis Rodman had befriended North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un. Nothing should really surprise anyone when the name "Dennis Rodman" is involved. He has certainly found a unique way to keep his name in the news even decades after his basketball career ended. It will be interesting to see if he can ever top this one, though.

Answer: Dennis Rodman
