#BBB NEWS| Dennis Rodman Speaks On The Difference Between LeBron James And Michael Jordan [PHOTO]

The longstanding debate amongst what separates the great from the average athlete across the spectrum will always involve their decision to rest or play when their health is on the line – whether sickness or injury.

Dennis Rodman stepped into CBS Sports’ “Reiter Than You” with Bill Reiter this past Monday (Apr. 4), to discuss this epidemic, using two of the critically-acclaimed “greatest” of their time, Michael Jordan and LeBron James, as examples.

Rodman got straight to the point, stating, “LeBron’s doing one thing that I always said that Michael Jordan never did. He never rested. He played every game. LeBron has the position to do this now, because they need him. The league needs him, and that’s why he’s doing all this crazy s*** now, like b******* and complaining…”

Respective to MJ’s impact on the league, now and during his prime, the Cav’s #23 is arguably the face of the National Basketball Association for the current era of basketball – or at least one of the faces. In this sense, former number 91 is correct.

#BBB NEWS| Sports: Floyd Mayweather Made More in 36 Minutes Than LeBron James in His NBA Career! [PHOTO]

The fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao netted about $600 million, making it the most lucrative fight in boxing history. 

The bout made the two boxers record breaking amounts of money but Pacquiao’s net take will be significantly reduced after paying off his promoter, Bob Arum and Top Rank, a fee that Mayweather doesn’t have since he owns his own company.

So how much did Mayweather make?  Enough to eclipse the careers of NBA legends in the making.

    Floyd Mayweather will earn almost as much for 36 minutes in the ring in May as Tim Duncan has made in his 18-year career with the San Antonio Spurs ($235 million).
