Lakers News: Luke Walton Compares Dennis Rodman To Metta World Peace

Much like everyone else in the basketball world, former Los Angeles Lakers and current Sacramento Kings head coach Luke Walton has found himself glued to ESPN’s 10-part documentary on the 1998 Chicago Bulls entitled “The Last Dance.”

A recent episode focused on the most eccentric member of that Bulls team in Dennis Rodman. The late-2000s Lakers had their own controversial player as well in Metta World Peace.

Because of Rodman’s antics during that time, many teams didn’t want to sign him and the Bulls ultimately brought him in pretty cheap. World Peace had his own reputation when he joined the Lakers as a free agent in 2009, which scared off many teams as well.
