LeBron James grabbed the microphone, went on former NFL player Pat McAfee’s show, and responded to Dennis Rodman after the former basketball star spoke poorly of him. In this context, the perfect response came from none other than Michael Jordan.

For context: Back in 2013, five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman appeared on The Dan Patrick Show and stated,
“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 eloquent, and things like that. LeBron is more like… there are no flashes 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 in my life.”

Even though 12 years had passed since Dennis Rodman’s statement, LeBron still had it fresh in his mind, as he decided to respond to Jordan’s former teammate by saying:
“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, he doesn’t weigh enough, he’s not strong enough.’ And I’m like, ‘Alright.’”

What does Michael Jordan think about all this? After LeBron’s interview with Pat McAfee went viral, TMZ Sports revealed that MJ responded sarcastically when told that the Los Angeles Lakers star had mentioned they don’t talk:
“I don’t even talk to my kids,” Jordan joked.

And his response to Rodman was just around the corner.

Right after seeing that LeBron James responded to Dennis Rodman, Michael Jordan, this time, did not agree with his former Chicago Bulls teammate. According to Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson, an NBA insider with over 42,000 followers, MJ told his friend Jayson Williams that “LeBron James could play in any era.”

Who has won more NBA Finals—LeBron James or Michael Jordan?

One of the main arguments for considering Michael Jordan the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) in the NBA is his perfect Finals record—winning all six he played in during his career. And what about LeBron?
‘The King’ holds a Finals record of four wins and six losses, with championships won with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Lakers, and two with the Miami Heat.
