LeBron James hopped on the microphone, went on former NFL player Pat McAfee ‘s show , and responded to Dennis Rodman’s criticism of him. Against this backdrop, the perfect response came from none other than Michael Jordan .
Backstory! In 2013, five-time NBA champion Rodman went on The Dan Patrick Show and said, “ If LeBron played in the late 80s or early 90s, he’d just be an average player. What (Jordan) did shows more charisma, he’s more articulate, and stuff like that. LeBron is more like… there’s no flash in his game. He’s a great player, don’t get me wrong. He’s an incredible player. I’ll give him that, but Scottie (Pippen) and Michael are one of the best one-two punches I’ve ever seen . ”
Even though it’s been 12 years since Dennis Rodman said that, LeBron had it very much in mind because he decided to respond to Jordan’s former teammate by saying that “ I could play in any era .” It’s funny, you hear some of the older players say, “LeBron James couldn’t play in this era.” I think I saw Dennis Rodman say that once. He said, “LeBron James doesn’t have enough skill. He’s not big enough, no, he doesn’t weigh enough, he’s not strong enough.” I’m like, “Okay.” ”
What does Michael Jordan think about this? After LeBron’s interview with Pat McAfee went viral, TMZ Sports revealed that MJ ironically responded, “I don’t even talk to my kids” when he was told the Los Angeles Lakers star had revealed they weren’t speaking. And the response to Rodman was about to arrive.

On the heels of seeing LeBron James respond to Dennis Rodman, Jordan, this time, took issue with his former Chicago Bulls teammate. According to NBA insider Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, with over 42,000 followers, MJ told his friend Jayson Williams that “LeBron James could play in any era . “
Who won more NBA Finals, LeBron James or Michael Jordan?
One of the main arguments for considering Michael Jordan as the GOAT (Greatest Player of All Time) in the NBA is his record in Finals, winning all six of the games he has played in during his career . And LeBron? The “King”‘ s record in the NBA Finals is four wins and six losses, with a title with the Cleveland Cavaliers , another with the Los Angeles Lakers , and two more with the Miami Heat .
