3. Insulting Mormons — Former Bulls forward Dennis Rodman was fined $50K by the league during the 1997 NBA Finals for his comments following a loss in Utah. “It’s difficult to get in sync with all of the fucking Mormons out here,” Rodman told the press. Later, coach Phil Jackson cleared up any confusion: “To Dennis, a Mormon may just be a nickname for people from Utah.” Ah, makes sense. Thanks, P.J.
4. Kicking a cameraman in the nuts — Another one from Rodman: He was docked $25K, suspended for 11 games, and lost roughly $1 million in salary in 1997 after falling into the crowd and punting a courtside cameraman in the stones during a game against the T-Wolves.
