Former Bull Dennis Rodman does not believe Larry Bird would crack a roster in today’s NBA.

Dennis Rodman’s latest hot take is another jab toward Boston Celtics legend Larry Bird.

During a recent episode of VladTV, DJ Vlad asked Rodman about his thoughts on Gilbert Arenas’ comments that Bird would beat NBA’s all-time scoring champion LeBron James in a one-on-one matchup.

The Worm vehemently disagreed with the three-time All-Star’s claims and said that Bird, a Hall of Famer, wouldn’t even have a job in the NBA if he played today.

“If Larry Bird played in this era, I think he’d be in Europe,” he said.
