Dennis Rodman reveals what made Michael Jordan ‘sexy’ vs. ‘dump truck’ LeBron James


The post Dennis Rodman reveals what made Michael Jordan 'sexy' vs. 'dump truck' LeBron James appeared first on ClutchPoints.

Easily one of the biggest debates in the NBA is about who is the superior player between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. And while innumerable people have had their say and there are plenty of reasons to go either way, Dennis Rodman is better-placed than most.

A fellow Chicago Bulls legend alongside Jordan, Rodman was still a pro when James first made his mark in the league, back in 2003. However, he may have found a peculiarly unique way to compare the two superstars.

The Worm believes that one of the reasons why Jordan takes the cake is that he looked good while playing.

"Michael Jordan was too sexy, man, when he had the ball or something like that. LeBron [James] is like a g*****n f**king dump truck. What the f**k man. Michael Jordan sits there dancing like barista coffee," Rodman explained on the N3ON podcast.

Of course, there are plenty of ways of looking at the debate. MJ has the titles, the individual numbers, and the records to back up his claim as the GOAT of basketball.

LeBron, on the other hand, may be the more complete player, and a better playmaker. James' supporters will also claim that his longevity, and the fact that he is still going at a high level at the age of 40 makes his claim to the title stronger.

And while Dennis Rodman may have his own way of looking at things, there is little doubt that marginal bias may also creep in considering Jordan was once on his own team. Still, most will agree that this literal eye test may not be the most accurate way of choosing between the two.

Along with getting you caught up on the weekend’s playoff action, we’ll give you a sneak preview of what could potentially be the greatest basketball book of all time, show you the best 70-year-old playground superstar ever, and tell you about a young star that just might choose religion over the fame and fortune of the NBA.

Luka Dončić joins LeBron James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West as only Lakers to post 30 points and 15 assists in a game

LeBron James joined a club of one on Tuesday , while Luka Dončić joined a club of four. With 30 points and a Lakers career-high 15 assists, Luka Dončić became only the fourth player in Lakers history to post those totals in a single game in a 136-115 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. The other three: James, Magic Johnson and Jerry West. We'll call that a solid group. That performance included a stretch of three straight 3-pointers to set the tone in the first quarter. It was once again the LeBron and Dončić (LeBrončić?) show, as Dončić's co-star posted 34 points on 10-of-18 shooting, eight rebounds and six assists. Center Jaxson Hayes also had one of the best games of his Lakers career, scoring 19 points on a perfect 8-of-8 shooting plus 10 rebounds. Dončić was two points away from tying his Lakers career high in points as well, and likely would have gotten it had L.A. not taken its foot off the gas in the fourth quarter. After a back-and-forth first half in which the P...
