The Los Angeles Lakers bit the dust in the crucial Game 3 against the Denver Nuggets and find themselves down 0-3. Despite LeBron James & Co’s valiant effort throughout the game, the LA team couldn’t turn it into a victory as the Nuggets went haywire in the last quarter. While Saturday night’s game became a day to forget for the Lakers fans, a 20-year-old San Antonio Spurs star, who has similarities to NBA icon Dennis Rodman, further infuriated fans with his antics.
The Chicago Bulls legend Dennis Rodman is one of the most recognizable faces in NBA history. Apart from his aggressive gameplay on the court, fans admired him for his flamboyant personality off it. While his fans refuse to accept a star matching Rodman’s energy, the 20-year-old Spurs rookie already made headlines for the same.
