Former NBA star, current moron, Dennis Rodman has been taking some serious and deserved flak for his ongoing relationship with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, and his refusal to leverage that relationship for the release of imprisoned American missionary Kenneth Bae.
Rodman is in North Korea for a fourth time on his latest basketball diplomacy trip and surprisingly was able to find some other former NBA players that are as dumb as him to go with him. Rodman and Co. will be playing a team of North Korean all-stars on Wednesday to celebrate Kim Jong-un's birthday.
Rodman's team is made up of Kenny Anderson, Vin Baker, Charles Smith, Cliff Robinson, Doug Christie, Sleepy Floyd, Craig Hodges and four streetball players.
Yesterday in an interview on CNN New Day with host Chris Cuomo, Rodman went ballistic and lost it on Cuomo when asked about Bae. Rodman decided to take it even farther and accused Bae of some unspecified offense.
"Are you going to take an opportunity, if you get it, to speak up for the family of Kenneth Bae and say, 'Let us know why this man is being held?' If you can help them, will you take the opportunity?" Cuomo of CNN asked.
Rodman replied, "The one thing about politics, Kenneth Bae did one thing. If you understand - if you understand what Kenneth Bae did. Do you understand what he did? In this country?"
"What did he do?" Cuomo asked. "You tell me."
"You tell me," Rodman shouted back. "You tell me. Why is he held captive?"
"They haven't released any charges," Cuomo said. "They haven't released any reason."
Rodman then spent the rest of the interview flipping out.
The game - with North Korea rules' three points for a dunk, four for a three-pointer swish, eight for a bucket in the final three seconds, and minus one for missing a free throw - should be interesting. Any predictions?
