“We Didn’t See Eye to Eye”: Besides Unfixable Feud With Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, Dennis Rodman Comes Clean About 10x All Star

Dennis Rodman admits to having an abysmal relationship with a teammate. In the words of HotRod, “We didn’t see eye to eye.” He revealed that the chemistry between him and his teammate was just limited to the hardwood. Perhaps it was their off-court relationship that played into Rodman’s early departure from San Antonio.

Obviously, feuds between teammates have existed in the NBA ever since the league was established. While the feud between Rodman and his Spurs running mate might not be the biggest in its 77-year history, sources suggest that the friction was always evident.

Dennis Rodman and the Admiral; a silent feud

In an interview with VladTV, Dennis Rodman came clean about his feudal misconceptions about a San Antonio Spurs legend. David Robinson and Dennis Rodman never got along with each other off-court, Rodman confessed. During the interview, he reflected on his time with the NBA franchise.

The interviewer asked Rodman, “You didn’t really get along with Robinson, is that a fair assessment?” to which the 5-time NBA champion replied, “We didn’t see eye to eye.”

The 5-time champion did mention how he cherished sharing the court with Robinson. Unfortunately, “It’s just off the court that we couldn’t get along”, he concluded.

Of course, this is not the first time that Rodman has had personal issues with NBA stars. Fans hold Rodman’s stint with the Bad Boy Pistons and Jordan’s Bulls in high regard. But the latter years of his career are often overlooked. Particularly, his strange partnership with Lakers legends Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant.

Rodman’s infamous feud with the Lakers duo

Rodman signed with Los Angeles during the 98-99 season. The Lakers went on an impressive 10-game win streak after signing him. Unfortunately, things soon started going south.

In typical Rodman fashion, the 2-time all-star requested a break during the regular season. He stated the continuous bickering between Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal as the reason. He admitted that the locker room environment was affecting his mental state.

The management showed their support and granted HotRod some time off during the season. Various sources revealed that Rodman was spotted in Vegas gambling at the casino. While this has been known to relax Rodman, the star duo did not take it well.

Sure enough, following that season, the Lakers parted ways with Dennis after just 23 games with the franchise.

Dennis Rodman was as unique a basketball personality as anyone. The off-court antics and shenanigans always kept him a whisker away from controversy. Rodzilla’s unique lifestyle choices were not often fancied by his teammates and franchises through the years. But whether it was with the Spurs or the Lakers, these dynamics did not stop Rodman from dominating the glass.
