How Dennis Rodman's Defense on Alonzo Mourning Helped the Chicago Bulls Advance to the 1997 Finals

It's 1997 Eastern Conference Finals matchup between Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. Heat was coached by Pat Riley and led by center Alonzo Mourning. Phil Jackson made his strategy. Bulls would try to get into Alonzo Mourning's head. They planned on making that a habit. He couldn't control his instincts. He couldn't turn his head other side, and eventually, he was provoked by Dennis Rodman.

In theory, Rodman was playing basketball against Alonzo Mourning. But yet another battle for a rebound or energetic hustle play that ended with shoves began to look like a pay per view special in these series of 5 games. Rodman ended his battle with these quotes and moved on to his Karl Malone matchup in the 1997 finals, "I'm the smallest guy out there battling Alonzo Mourning, who's trying to poke my eyes out. He's just a young kid who doesn't know how to play the game of basketball."
