Dennis Rodman shares his honest opinion

The Warriors formed a new Big-3 with superstars Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and All-Star Klay Thompson. And they won the next two titles straight playing against the Warriors. Durant won the Finals MVP award on both occasions. After losing the next Finals, there were rumors of a fallout between KD and the Warriors. And he joined the Brooklyn Nets. Durant once commented that he realized he is “different from the rest of the guys”.

And Dennis Rodman felt that it was selfish of KD to say that. “I think the mentality of the players today are totally different than that we had back then, like in the 90s and early 2000. I think it is very selfish of KD seriously, you know,” stated Rodman.

He continued, “I think the fact that we got the opportunity to play this game. Especially at a high high level. Especially when you have this easy to go out there and perform to make $40, $45 million a year.”
