Dennis Rodman Claims J.R. Smith is the New Dennis Rodman

Since Phil Jackson has taken over as the president of the New York Knicks, people have been speculating and dissecting how this team compares to Jackson's Chicago Bulls teams of the 90's.

Former Bull Dennis Rodman, who won three titles with the Bulls under Jackson, tweeted out his thoughts on who most compares to him.

Sending love to the zen master @PhilJackson11 and the @nyknicks for this season. Good luck to @therealjrsmith who is the new Dennis Rodman

Jackson made the original comparison between the two players in September, saying both had an "outlier side".

Smith actually seemed pleased with the comparison, saying, “Last time I checked Dennis Rodman’s got what three, four rings? I’m not offended by that. It’s an honor. He’s a Hall of Famer. And to be put in the same words as a Hall of Famer is something special. So I’m not offended at all.”
