Dennis Rodman: “If LeBron was playing during the 90’s, I’d still say Scottie Pippen was the 2nd best player behind Michael”

Five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman spoke about the impact of Scottie Pippen not only on the Chicago Bulls but also on future generation of players. The controversial forward thinks that if LeBron James played during the 90’s, he would not be among the top two best players.

According to “the Worm”, Pippen would still have been the second-best player behind Michael Jordan. He also said today’s stars like Kevin Durant should be grateful for how Pippen changed the point-forward position.

Per Jackie MacMullan of ESPN:

“He revolutionized the point-forward position. All these players today should thank Scottie Pippen. Guys like Kevin Durant should say, ‘Wow, look what you did for us.’ Scottie could handle, he could shoot the ball, he could defend, he could rebound.

“If LeBron was playing during the ’90s, I’d still say Scottie Pippen was the second-best player behind Michael.”

Rodman has also recently claimed that he would lock LeBron down because the Los Angeles Lakers superstar ‘has no moves’.
