NBA legend Dennis Rodman has taken a surprising dig at young NFL star Travis Hunter. On August 16, 2025, during a live Twitch stream with popular streamer N3on, Rodman was asked to share advice for a 21-year-old. Instead of giving a normal answer, Dennis Rodman said, “Just don’t be Travis Hunter,” pointing at Hunter’s marriage with his wife, Leanna Lenee, which has already been under heavy public debate.

Rodman has always been known for speaking without filters. This time, his target was Travis Hunter. During the Twitch stream, N3on asked, “A 21-year-old young man, what advice could you give me to evolve as a human being?” Rodman fired back, “Just don’t be Travis Hunter.”The room fell silent. N3on looked surprised. Viewers did not expect Rodman to single out the young NFL star. His words quickly spread on social media.

The shot from Rodman adds to the pressure Travis Hunter already faces. Earlier this year, fans online accused Leanna Lenee of taking advantage of Hunter. Many thought the relationship was not right for him.Also Read: “Largely Because Of Taylor Swift”: Clark Hunt Recalls Rare Moment Travis Kelce’s Girlfriend Refused VIP TreatmentBut Travis Hunter did not back down. He openly defended his wife. In a past interview, he said, “I just let people talk. I’m a big troller, so I just troll the internet. I don’t care what they think about us. If they talk about her, I post her more to make them mad. They try to break us, but they can’t. I love my woman.”Despite the backlash, Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee got married. The wedding took place in Tennessee only weeks after Hunter was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was a big event. The couple celebrated without caring about the noise around them.
