Dennis Rodman Calls JR Smith "The New Dennis Rodman"

During an interview with the New York Post in September, Knicks president Phil Jackson compared JR Smith to Dennis Rodman, saying that Smith might have "an outlier kind of side to him."

Well on Wednesday, The Worm—who Jackson coached to three NBA titles during his tenure with the Bulls—weighed in and he seems to agree with the Zen Master's assessment. 

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