webfact Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Dennis Rodman, NBA old timers head to North Korea for basketball gameBeijing (CNN) -- Eccentric basketball star Dennis Rodman and several other former NBA players are on their way to take part in a controversial basketball game in North Korea on the birthday of the country's young, unpredictable leader Kim Jong-Un.The friendly contest is planned for Wednesday, when Kim is believed to turn 31, and features a number of NBA old timers.It takes place just weeks after North Korea shocked the world by announcing the purge and execution of Kim's once-powerful uncle.Darren Prince, Rodman's agent for 16 years, told CNN on Sunday that Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson, Vin Baker, Craig Hodges, Doug Christie, and Charles D. Smith would play against the North Korean Senior National Team. "I don't know the exact time of the game but I believe it's in the evening," he said.Full story: http://edition.cnn.com/2014/01/06/world/asia/north-korea-dennis-rodman/index.html-- CNN 2014-01-06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I have mixed feelings. The USA still has freedom if they allow these fools to go. They don't represent the U.S. government or the American people. Yes they are being used for propaganda but on the other hand there is a subtext that they are coming from a free country.

Credo Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It's just a basketball game. If it keeps the little poop-head happy and away from his deadly fax machine, it's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's naive. He uses it to suggest he has international credibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credo Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think his credibility ship has sailed. If you want credibility, you find someone better than Dennis Rodman. Rodman is one step above the 3 Stooges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodman is one step above the 3 Stooges. Perhaps but that's one step above what is actually deserved. Again, I think your view is naive. This "game" is a propaganda win for the NK regime.

falangadang Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 If Kim Jong-Un can expunge one of his own family without even batting an eyelid then I'd imagine that no-one,..not even close friends would be safe. I can understand the US quietly endorsing Rodman's NK connection but if I were him I'd be very careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amse Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 So what happens when the Korea team looses? If they don't loose, it's a set-up. Will the evil kid have their heads chopped off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellodolly Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm wondering who the biggest nutter is, Rodman or Kin Jong-Un? No question Rodman Any body who would intentional put them selves in a position to get literally fed to the dogs for displeasing Kin Jong-Un. Has to be screwy in the head. If he wins the kook might have him eaten for embarrassing the North Koreans and if he loses the kook might have him fed to the dogs for not playing up to his abilities. Actually the kook doesn't need a reason he is the boss end of discussion no argument he said it so it is fact and not open to discussion. Of course then Rodman has bnot always thought things out.
