For the historians here: Is this image photoshopped or did the late 90’s bulls really ever play this small ball lineup with Kukoc at center?

Rodman would be the center in this scenario.
Lineup started two games in [95-96](https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/1996_start.html) and one game in [96-97](https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/CHI/1997_start.html)
They played this lineup, but I’m pretty positive this image is photoshopped. You can se there is another Bulls player behind Ron Harper, so it would be weird to have 6 players walking off the court
Kukoc was 6’10, shortest guy in this photo was 6’6. That’s a pretty solid lineup for that era
Rodman’s 91 is the only Bulls jersey l own. Loved that psycho mfr.
Who knew he’d end up kissing North Korean ass?
Could be during a timeout rotation. But this lineup would be killer in the modern nba
It’s not small ball if Rodman was on the court. He could guard any center in the league.
Photoshopped or not Harper/MJ/Pip/Kukoc/Rodman was the 2nd most played 5 man unit for the ’98 Bulls.
Elite defenders at 4/5 positions, elite rebounding, floor spacing. Nightmare lineup.
Yes. Rodman would defend the center and Toni would play that spot on offense. In the Triangle the center is the playmaker and Toni was very good at it.
