Dennis Rodman On Lakers Stint: “Kobe and Shaq Would Be So Envious Of Me, They Couldn’t Stand Me On That Damn Team”
After leaving the Chicago Bulls, Dennis Rodman signed with the Los Angeles Lakers before the 1998-99 season.
When speaking at an event, Rodman now talked about his time with the Lakers, and him teaming up with Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal.
While he previously already revealed that he was annoyed by and couldn’t deal with their constant bitching and complaining, he now also said that Kobe and Shaq were jealous of him.
“So I started playing with Kobe and Shaq and stuff like that. So I would come to the stadium and people would actually come to see me because they haven’t seen me in six months. So Kobe and Shaq would be so envious of me. They catered to me so much about me coming to the game, going out to the game, having parties, doing this, doing that, hotel stuff. They couldn’t stand me on that damn team to be honest with you.”
