In a recent interview with VladTV, LaVar Ball responded to Dennis Rodman’s comments about his son, LiAngelo Ball, with his trademark confidence and candor. Rodman had labeled LiAngelo as “awful” and given him a mere 10% chance of making it in the NBA, a statement that clearly didn’t sit well with the outspoken patriarch of the Ball family.

“He said he got a 10% chance, who are you talking about got a 10% chance of making it? All of a sudden, you a numbers guy. You ain’t no numbers guy, you too busy putting tattoos and piercing in your nose.” (1:03)

LaVar wasted no time firing back, questioning Rodman’s credibility as a “numbers guy” while sarcastically referring to his penchant for body art and piercings. LaVar’s retort highlighted his characteristic no-nonsense attitude and his unwavering support for his sons, especially LiAngelo, who has been working hard to make a name for himself in the basketball world.

LaVar’s response encapsulates his relentless belief in his children’s abilities, an attitude that has been both praised and criticized. Whether LiAngelo will ultimately prove Rodman wrong and secure his spot in the NBA remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure: LaVar Ball won’t let anyone’s doubts deter him from defending his family and their basketball dreams.


Dennis Rodman Claimed Larry Bird Would Be In Europe If He Played In Today’s NBA

Dennis Rodman’s recent comments on the hypothetical 1-on-1 matchup between Larry Bird and LeBron James have sparked quite a discussion in the basketball world. In response to former NBA player Gilbert Arenas’ claim that Bird could defeat LeBron in a one-on-one game, Rodman strongly disagreed with this assessment.

Rodman suggested that if Larry Bird were to play in today’s era of basketball, he might not have the same level of success. He even went as far as saying that Bird could have ended up playing in Europe. The basis for this argument lies in the differences between the eras in which they played. Bird’s style was well-suited to the 1980s, where he dominated the game and led the Boston Celtics to multiple championships.

While Rodman acknowledged Bird’s greatness during his time, he emphasized that the pace and style of the modern NBA, epitomized by players like Nikola Jokic, may not have been as favorable to Bird. Rodman’s statements, however controversial, highlight the ongoing debate over how players from different eras would fare in today’s NBA, and the discussion surrounding the hypothetical matchups continues to captivate basketball enthusiasts.


Larry Bird Can Play In Any Era Of The NBA 

Larry Bird, a true legend of the NBA, possesses the kind of transcendent talent that could excel in any era of basketball. His impact on the game is undeniable, and his versatility, basketball IQ, and shooting ability make him a timeless figure in the sport’s history.

During his illustrious career, Bird led the Boston Celtics to three NBA championships in 1981, 1984, and 1986, while earning two NBA Finals MVP awards. He was a 12-time NBA All-Star and a three-time NBA champion. Bird’s stats speak for themselves – he averaged 24.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 6.3 assists per game throughout his career. This level of excellence showcases his well-rounded game and incredible court vision, skills that would certainly translate well into the modern NBA.

Larry Bird’s accolades are too numerous to count, but they include three NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards, three NBA championships, and two NBA Finals MVP awards. He was also a 10-time All-NBA Team selection and a three-time NBA Three-Point Shootout champion. Bird’s legacy is further exemplified by his inclusion in the NBA’s 50th Anniversary All-Time Team, a testament to his enduring impact on the league.

Bird’s combination of size, skill, and basketball acumen would enable him to thrive in today’s fast-paced, three-point-shooting NBA. He is not only a symbol of his era but also a timeless icon who would undoubtedly shine in any period of the game’s history.
