Dennis Rodman went off on NBA 75th Anniversary member Larry Bird saying the Boston Celtics legend, hypothetically, will be unplayable in today's game.
The Worm made the comment during an appearance at VladTV. The rebounding menace assessed Bird's playing style, which will not sit well with the NBA fans.
Aside from being unplayable if Bird lives in this era, Rodman also thinks Larry Legend will find himself playing in Europe.
"If Larry Bird played in this era, I think he'd be in Europe," Rodman said during an interview with VladTV. "I'm just letting you know, man. He'd be somewhere over there. His game was fit for Boston at that time in the 80s and stuff like that. Today's world, oh hell no, there's no way. I'm not downplaying him because he was a great player at that time, just like I was, but I'm saying no, there's no way."

Rodman and Bird's active playing careers overlapped only for five years, but this take by the former is based on the latter's resume.
Bird is a three-time champ with two Finals MVPs and three season MVPs to boot.
Nikola Jokic better than Bird?
The Chicago Bulls legend doubled down on his takes about Bird saying Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic is a better player. Jokic is just coming off an NBA title win and already won two season MVP awards.
"Oh, my God, he is slow as hell. Okay, so, but that guy got a game. I think he is better than Larry Bird. In this day and age, yeah. Compare him to Larry Bird, I think people pick him."
Of course, all of this is hypothetical. No way of knowing. What do you think?
