NBA Jam had hidden code that made the Chicago Bulls miss last-second shots against the Detroit Pistons.

The creator was a Pistons fan.

So if the Bulls tried to win at the buzzer against Detroit, the game quietly sabotaged them.

Petty coding at an elite level.

Dennis Rodman skipped practice in the middle of the NBA finals just so he could be on Nitro with the NWO and STILL got a ring that year😤

Putting him in the WWE HOF is a layup.

[WCWNitroBook @WCWNitroBook]

One of Dennis Rodman’s most memorable nWo moments occurred on June 16, 1997, when along with Hogan, Hall, Nash and other nWo members, he entered the United Center – the site of the Bulls’ fifth championship victory just three days prior – in an electric opening scene on Nitro. As Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Voodoo Child (Slight Return)’ blared from the speakers for the first time, the camera immediately showcased a limousine which ostensibly had just arrived in the backstage area. Out stepped Rodman, cigar in hand, issuing veiled threats and offhanded jibes – meanwhile, Hogan bopped his head to the music in tow; a man in his element. In a brilliant production choice, the camera laid bare a veritable behind-the-curtain view, allowing fans to witness the duo approaching the stage in real-time. As Hogan and ‘Rodzilla’ appeared in front of the audience, the building positively erupted, giving way to fireworks, an air-guitar display and, of course, the customary Michael Buffer line:

Let’s get ready to rumble!

If there ever was a representative moment of the nWo’s cool factor, this was it. The segment achieved the rare distinction of appearing rather spontaneous, almost as if Hogan and Rodman – in a casual, last-minute fancy – decided to stop by Nitro en route to other places. In reality, however, the backstage environment had been a whirl of activity just moments before the show went live. Days later, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist Larry Hamel described the unfolding scene:

A few minutes before ‘Nitro’ goes on the air live on TNT, WCW executive vice president Eric Bischoff strides purposefully down the long corridor that is the nerve center of the show. “I need an NWO shirt, a Rodman NWO shirt, and I need it two minutes ago,” he snaps. “Will somebody, anybody, please get me an NWO shirt.” Production assistants scurry around to find one, but wrestler Scott Hall, as cool as his New World Order character, ducks into his dressing room and, upon emerging, calmly flips a black-and-white NWO T-shirt to Bischoff.

Dennis Rodman pops out of the Bulls’ locker room, wearing a shirt that reads “NWO Bite Me.” He’s joined in the corridor by ‘Hollywood’ Hulk Hogan, who’s puffing on a cigar, ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage, Kevin Nash and Hall. Just as Hogan is about to go out the swinging doors, he turns to Bischoff and says, ‘You sure you don’t want to be a part of this thing?’ Bischoff shakes his head and says, ‘No, this is your deal.’ Hogan says, ‘C’mon, put your (NWO) shirt on. You’re one of us.’ Bischoff nods and follows the group out the door. A few minutes later, he’s in the ring, microphone in hand, working a crowd of more than 16,000 into a frenzy as the middleman for Hogan and Rodman.

Dennis Rodman arrives w/the nWo at United Center in Chicago with the first use of the Voodoo Chile entrance (tragically edited out of all WWE broadcasts). One of the coolest entrances ever, to me the 1:55 mark felt like the moment pro wrestling was “back.” (6.16.1997) 🤘🏻📼🏀

NBA fans all over the world, I hope you didn’t miss the Detroit Pistons Superstar Cade Cunningham’s performance against the New York Knicks last night. He put on a show scoring 42 points, 13 assists and 8 rebounds!

Cade scored from everywhere on the court - three point, the midrange jumper and he was driving it to the basket. He may have had the play of the year when he dunked on three Knicks with his left hand!
