'Michael Jordan Was Too Sexy' – Former Chicago Bulls Star Praises HOF Guard While Trashing LeBron James

Rodman remained loyal to his former teammate. However, he had a unique take on why he chose the six-time champion. N3on asked the former star to choose between the two players in their primes.

“Michael Jordan & LeBron at their prime, right?” Rodman confirmed.

“Michael Jordan was too sexy, man, when he had the ball or something like that,” he said. “I mean, LeBron is like a goddamn [expletive] dump truck. What the [expletive] man? Michael Jordan sits there dancing like barista coffee. What? And sit there and look at you and just keep doing and making it look so easy.”

This wasn’t the first time that the former Chicago Bulls star has roasted James. In 2024, Rodman was asked about how well he’d do against James defensively. According to him, he’d be able to stay in front of the 6-foot-8 forward and said he would’ve “locked his a** up.”

The Chicago Bulls announced Derrick Rose’s jersey retirement

Dennis Rodman isn’t the only former Chicago Bulls player making waves recently. Former All-Star guard Derrick Rose was in the news due to the Bulls’ recent announcement. The Chicago franchise confirmed that it will retire the No. 1 jersey to honor Rose. The team announced that the jersey retirement will be on Jan. 24, 2026.

Bulls CEO Michael Reinsdorf also revealed that the only person to wear the jersey number will be Rose’s son, PJ. If he becomes part of the Chicago organization, he has the pass to wear his father’s former number.

“I’m just telling you: nobody’s wearing that No. 1 jersey again unless PJ is a Bull. Then he’s wearing that No. 1 jersey. All right? Is that fair?” Reinsdorf said.

Rose was visibly emotional to learn how his former team will honor him. During his time in Chicago, he became the youngest league MVP and earned three All-Star selections. The Bulls fanbase holds him special in their hearts for the time he spent with the Bulls.
