Dennis Rodman on Kobe Bryant’s GOAT Status…

The eternal debate over the NBA’s Greatest of All Time often resembles an endless game of basketball poker where the cards never quite settle. While Michael Jordan and LeBron James are frequently dealt the aces, some players, including Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, deserve to be in the hand! Dennis Rodman, possibly the only man who could guard a cheetah in a game of tag, feels Kobe is not mentioned enough in these legendary chats. On a live stream with influencer N3on, Rodman declared his GOAT is Jordan but reminded everyone, “Hey! Don’t overlook Kobe—that immortal with the Mamba mentality!”

Rodman joins a choir of basketball greats singing the praises of Bryant, and their chorus is louder than a marching band of elephants performing in a library. It’s not every day someone as defensive as Rodman, who won three NBA rings with Jordan, puts Bryant at such legendary heights. The Worm, as Rodman is affectionately known (likely because of his incredible ability to wriggle free from any defense), believes Kobe’s legacy should be eternally respected. In fact, Rodman himself considers Lakers hero James Worthy to be his toughest adversary on the court—probably because Worthy once slip-and-slided past Rodman with more ease than a penguin on an ice rink!
