Derek Harper
Harper is known to be a good post defender, rather than the perimeter. He was best known for hand-checking, a technique where the defensive player places their hand on the offensive player. They did it to navigate where the offensive player would go next. Derek did this on MJ and many other players and was very successful. He was able to use his strength to be a strong perimeter player. Unfortunately for this athlete, hand-checking was banned in the early 2000s.

Denis Rodman
Dennis Rodman is a feisty one, and this cameraman got on his bad side when he collided with him during one of his games. The man was too close to the court and Rodman got a little out of control and retaliated by kicking him. This led to his 11 game suspension and assault charges, which were eventually dropped. Years later the NBA posted a rule after several more cameraman collisions. It gave players more room to reduce baseline photography and TV positions from 24 to 20. Also, each baseline can have six photo spots on one side of the basket and four on the other.
