Dennis Rodman is one of the most eccentric characters to ever step foot in the NBA. Rodman, for all his accomplishments on the court, is always recognized for his incredibly unique personality, and how that affected him on the court. Rodman is one of the biggest names in NBA history and was able to land himself several massive paydays across his career.
Perhaps the easiest payday of his career came in 2005. Cast in a Super Bowl commercial for a countertop company called Constantino along with several other Chicago sports legends, Rodman would have to sit in a luxurious bathtub and say the words “I am Diana Pearl”. And as he explained in his book, he was able to earn $2.5 million for this simple gig.
“A final sign that Dennis Rodman was going mainstream was my appearance in a Super Bowl commercial in 2005. The 30-second spot for Silestone quartz countertops featured Chicago sports legends Mike Ditka, William ‘Refrigerator’ Perry, Jim McMahon, and me. I’m the one with the orange hair taking a bubble bath.”
“In the spot, I claim to be “Diana Pearl,” which was actually the name of one of the countertop colors. The company paid almost $2.5 million to air the spot, and it was a milestone in my celebrity rep career.”
The commercial spot perfectly fit Rodman, who was known for being a brash, zany, and eccentric character. While the other Chicago sports legends were in more normal scenarios, Rodman being in a bathtub with a loofa in his hand was very fitting and suited his personality.
