Fox News ^ | January 5, 2014

Dennis Rodman has named a team of former NBA players to play an exhibition basketball game in Pyongyang, North Korea.

Rodman will lead the team that includes former NBA All-Stars Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson, and Vin Baker. Craig Hodges, Doug Christie and Charles D. Smith are on the team, as well. They will play against a top North Korean senior national team on Wednesday, marking Kim Jong Un's birthday.

Rodman is the highest profile American to meet Kim since the leader inherited power from his father in late 2011.

If they know whats good for them, they’d better let the north korean team win.

Wait a minute. On second thought...

Go Rodman! Win against those north korean dogs! Win one for the CIA!

Allan Iverson once had $154 million but went bankrupt. Latrell Sprewell turned down a $21 million contract cuz his family “could not afford to live on so little money” - now he’s bankrupt.

Rodman’s bankruptcy attorneys had to represent him PRO BONO so I’m pretty sure Rodman is KJU’s personal toy/slave.

Prerequisite to joining the Rodman team.
‘Are you willing to throw the game?’

I’m guessing that if they don’t play like the Washington Generals, they ain’t coming back home.....

you are correct. where is the outrage? NK is ruled by a evil man. Most of the population is starving in prison camps. just horrible for Rodman and whoever else does this.

Would an American sports team have played an exhibition game in honor of Hitler's birthday at the height of Auschwitz and Buchenwald in WWII? Or are some murders and murderers "cleaner" than others?

This Rodman farce is grotesque, evil and insane, especially in view of the countless poor souls trapped in Kim's horrific concentration camps.

Yep! I wonder if Dennis really knows what goes on in that country?

Of course Rodman knows what's going on in NK. There's no doubt he has received much advice and data from those who advised him not to follow through on this misbegotten misadventure.

At the least, he knows as much as ANYONE in the outside world knows about Kim's secretive and evil empire.

But enough is known that the average patriotic, moral American citizen would not travel to NK to HONOR the murderer responsible for unspeakable atrocities against his own people, even his own family. Everlasting shame on the opportunistic Rodman and his pathetic traveling circus of has-been basketball players.

That is the plan behind the invite, that of breeding more. No wife any player who goes there should be so naive as to suppose otherwise. I am sure there is work elsewhere trying to overcome the barrier God made btwn species, to create guerrilla men as soldiers as well.

The “company” is slang for the CIA.

There's no way on earth that the CIA, untrustworthy as it may or may not be, would take on an unstable nut case like Rodman as an agent.

Really? It wouldn’t surprise me in the least. Things are not always as they appear. Remember Chuck Baris, the host of the Gong Show? I read he was a CIA spook.

Baris was rational and not subject to blackmail and bribery because of a chequered past. Add to that Julia Childs, also rumored to be a spy.

The mentally-unstable (attempted suicide, multiple-sexual adventures, erratic behavior) Rodman being hired as a government spook is the stuff of which tinfoil hat theories are made .
