The trio of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman helped the Chicago Bulls win three NBA Championships after MJ returned from his first retirement.
Winning three NBA Championships in a row is not an easy task by any means, but it is possible if the stars of the team have great chemistry with each other. There are many ways for players to build that chemistry among themselves, and the Bulls trio used to make a bet with each other every day to check who had the lowest body fat among them.
“Me and Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, we had a bet every day that who has the lowest body fat,” Rodman said. “Mike would be like 3.2%, Scottie would be like 3.3%, and I would be like 3.4%. But every day, we switch. And people would say, ‘How you stay so lean, and so cut up?’ Because we had that regimen, mindset, that routine. Every day we wanted to win, we wanted to be competitive, to go out there and show people that we may be 215, 220, or 210, but we are very strong, very lean, and very agile.”

Dennis Rodman Once Opened Up On What He Thought Of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, And Himself
Being a dynasty in the NBA is not everyone’s cup of tea. MJ, Pippen, and Rodman pulled that off and won three NBA titles together.
Keeping that in mind, Dennis Rodman once revealed what he thought of his two superstar teammates’ legacy in the NBA alongside his own.
“You got the greatest basketball player on the planet,” says Dennis of Michael Jordan, “the second greatest in Scottie Pippen, and then you got the devil.”
