Not necessarily known for his always sensible opinions, Dennis Rodman does not particularly carry a certain LeBron James in his heart. Attention, we knew more relevant as a remark… but we forgive the whimsical winger.
Dennis Rodman’s media interventions in the press are rather sparse, but they generally have a knack for hitting the mark. This was particularly the case in 2019 at the microphone ofOvertime when, a year before The Last Dance, the former Bulls and Pistons was asked about … LeBron James. And as much to say that his answer has something to talk about:
I would have turned off his ass. LeBron is so easy to play. So fucking easy. He has no moves. All he can do is go straight ahead, he can’t do anything else. His game is way too simple, he’s just awesome. That’s all he has going for him.
Cheeky advice, isn’t it? Reducing the King to his physique and his bulldozing side by omitting his basketball IQ borders on burlesque, but Rodman did not stop there. A little further, he hit the nail on the head with another phrase of which he has the secret:
If LeBron had been there in the 1990s, I still would have said Scottie Pippen was the 2nd best player in the NBA behind Michael Jordan.
Obviously, Rodman probably struggles to be neutral, he who acquired 3 rings alongside the duo Jordan / Pippen. From there to accusing Grossomodo LeBron James of being a “straight-ahead” and nothing else, it may be a bit excessive …
In any case, the words of the strong-winger refer to a time when the magic trio of the Bulls was much more united and united than afterwards. Recently, it was Scottie Pippen who broke a hose while repeatedly attacking Michael Jordan, while the two men nevertheless maintained a cordial relationship.
Rodman, on the other hand, experienced a resurgence in popularity on the sidelines of The Last Dance, then has generally held tight for a year. And given his chaotic liabilities, this is surely good news for him …
Dennis Rodman will never cease to amaze us, sometimes for the better, often for the worse. We let you classify in the appropriate category this review on LeBron James!
