Former NBA star Dennis Rodman made an appearance on ESPN's First Take on Friday morning and was asked some questions about how his Chicago Bulls would have fared against the Golden State Warriors.
Of course, Rodman's Bulls won three championships from 1996 through 1998, and the Warriors, who broke the Bulls' single-season record by winning 73 games in 2016, have won three titles over the last five years.
So, naturally, people are going to compare the two ballclubs.
But not only does Rodman think Chicago would have beaten Golden State, but he thinks he would have had Draymond Green for lunch…or maybe that he would have been feeding Green his lunch:
"He'd be eating out of my hands."

While Rodman made sure to acknowledge that he thinks Green is a terrific defender and a very good player, it's clear that he does not think the Warriors big man would be any match for The Worm in his prime.
Rodman's words are obviously going to raise some hairs among Warriors fans, but in Rodman's defense, he is considered by most to be one of the top five defensive players of all-time for a reason.
He played for the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks throughout his 14-year NBA career, winning five titles overall (two of them came with the Pistons).
The Hall-of-Famer owns career averages of 7.3 points and 13.1 rebounds per game and led the league in rebounding seven seasons in a row between 1992 and 1998, topping out at an insane 18.7 boards a night back during his final season in Detroit in 1991-92.
