Dennis Rodman is one of the best role players to ever suit up in the NBA. As a five-time champion and all-time great defender, he knows basketball. But this take will definitely evoke some pushback—especially from Boston.
During a recent appearance on VladTV, Rodman suggested that Larry Bird wouldn’t make it in today’s NBA and would need to play overseas. He also said he thinks Nuggets center Nikola Jokić is better than the Celtics legend.
