NBA – Dennis Rodman’s scathing observation on LeBron James: “In my day, he wouldn’t have…

Les légendes NBA LeBron James (gauche) et Dennis Rodman (droite)

In the fight with Michael Jordan in the GOAT debate, LeBron James often sees former stars of the league imagining his performances in their era.

This is what a certain Dennis Rodman did without the slightest pity, for example.

Despite all his efforts, his name still remains behind in this endless debate.

According to the various polls conducted each year, LeBron James is indeed lagging behind Michael Jordan in the race for GOAT status.

A delay that can be explained both by his much less impressive record, but also by other more subjective factors.

For example, it seems quite rare to see former stars of the league make him the best player of all time, given their privileged relationship with MJ.

Having suffered the latter’s undivided domination, they therefore struggle to consider that of the King superior from a historical point of view.

An argument often comes up in this kind of speech, namely that of the difference in eras.

Dennis Rodman’s strong words on LeBron James
Despite a colossal size and a CV that speaks for itself, LeBron would not have the qualities required to withstand the physical impact that was observed in the NBA at the time of Jordan.

In any case, this is what many figures of the time affirm, among them Dennis Rodman.

Indeed, the latter explains in the Dan Patrick Show that this duel to elect the GOAT would therefore be somewhat shaky:

Dennis Rodman: The comparison is not really relevant.

If LeBron had played in the late 80s or early 90s, in my time, he would have been just an average player.

Compared to what Mike was able to do… seriously. Michael did things with more charisma, more artistically and all that. With LeBron, it’s more… boom. There’s not really a flashy side to his game.

Beyond a supposedly more striking visual aspect in Mike’s favor, the fact that he ruled in an era as rough as Rodman’s says a lot according to the latter.

Moreover, even if The Worm bows to LBJ’s talent, he struggles to put him on a par with the Bulls’ legendary No. 23… and his most faithful sidekick:

Dennis Rodman: LeBron is an excellent player, don’t get me wrong. He’s a hell of a player, I’ll give him credit, especially considering his size.

But for me, Scottie and Michael are one of the best duos I’ve ever seen, man. Seriously.

A very clear opinion that fans of the Chosen One will certainly have a hard time accepting.

Necessarily influenced by his former proximity to Michael Jordan and by his own career, Dennis Rodman does not see LeBron James capable of displaying the same level in the ’90s.

His choice in the GOAT discussion therefore seems obvious.
