Dennis Rodman thinks the Chicago Bulls teams he played on in the '90s, featuring him, Scottie Pippen, and Michael Jordan in their prime years, could easily handle LeBron James.

The former NBA star shared some strong opinions on James while hooked up to a lie detector test in a recent video segment for Overtime.

"You know who can lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could," Rodman said (starts at the 6:05 mark). "... LeBron is so easy to play. He's so f---ing easy to play. He don't have any moves ... He ain't got no moves ... Scottie Pippen could shut his f---ing ass down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he just big. Now, 260-whatever, 6-8, 6-9. That's the only thing he got, pretty much. I've played against guys 7-foot, 300. So, it don't really matter."

He was then asked about Kevin Durant.

"KD, same thing," he said. "Once you get to know people's game, it's very easy to play them. They just long. They just tall."

Rodman has been critical of James before. In 2017, he ripped into the Los Angeles Lakers star for missing games to rest, noting that "Michael Jordan never did."
