Dennis Rodman made waves earlier this week when he made comments on Bill Reiter’s CBS show about modern players and resting. A majority of the criticisms were aimed at LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers.The Worm isolated the fact that LBJ has placed so much emphasis on resting for the playoffs that it disqualifies him from being in the same class as Michael Jordan. In these comments the current Hall of Famer is bringing a lot of the same opinions that fans have to the table.His critique went at the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs as well for prioritising rest over playing every single game.Stephen Curry has recently come out in support of rest because he feels it gives his team the ability to go out and set the league on fire like they have.Now fans can add Warriors head coach Steve Kerr to the list of people who are skeptical of Rodman’s claims about rest. The 2015 championship coach decided to give his thoughts on his former teammates’ comments before a recent game to the collected media.He said: “I saw Dennis Rodman was complaining about it. I got a kick out of that because Dennis was suspended for 15 games a year anyway. He’d have plenty of rest. [Went to] Vegas or WrestleMania. He took a night off whenever he wanted, so he can’t complain.”

Kerr knows The Worm very well from their time playing together on the great Chicago Bulls teams led by Michael Jordan. In almost every way, he has endorsed his team while they chase the ghost of the greatest player to ever step foot on the hardwood.

These comments are no different as he is right to point out that the power forward was constantly embroiled in some controversy by that time in his career. In fact, some would argue he has a very similar path to Draymond Green of the Dubs.

Taking random flights to Las Vegas or staying up all night was the average day in the NBA for the storied rebounder and to expect that level of endurance from anyone else is extremely misguided. 

Rodman joins a laundry list of former players who think that newer players have it easier.

That trend is unlikely to change anytime soon as the two sides are going to have a hard time coming to a mutual understanding of how it is versus how the league was. For the Warriors, they have other things to worry about and will continue to try and stack championships.

All that hardware will likely drown the critics out.
