PYONGYANG, North Korea – Ending his unexpected round of basketball diplomacy in North Korea on Friday, ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman called leader Kim Jong Un an "awesome guy" and said his father and grandfather were "great leaders."
Rodman, the highest-profile American to meet Kim since he inherited power from father Kim Jong Il in 2011, watched a basketball game with the authoritarian leader Thursday and later drank and dined on sushi with him.
At Pyongyang's Sunan airport on his way to Beijing, Rodman said it was "amazing" that the North Koreans were "so honest." He added that Kim Jong Il and Kim Il Sung, North Korea's founder, "were great leaders."
"He's proud, his country likes him -- not like him, love him, love him," Rodman said of Kim Jong Un. "Guess what, I love him. The guy's really awesome."
At Beijing's airport, Rodman pushed past waiting journalists without saying anything.
Rodman's visit to North Korea began Monday and took place amid tension between Washington and Pyongyang. North Korea conducted an underground nuclear test just two weeks ago, making clear the provocative act was a warning to the United States to drop what it considers a "hostile" policy toward the North.

That tells me all I need to know about Kim. What has happened to the world when publicity-mongering idiots like Rodman actually get press for stupid comments like that?
Dennis Rodman must be the dumbest man on the planet today
I think he realized that when his wanker fell off after diddling Madonna.
Just imagine him saying this on TV with the words “Paid Spokesperson” under his picture.
Dennis Rodman is the new prototypical American “useful idiot” propaganda tool, as Lenin might have said.
This makes me think of the haunting story of the 23-year old girl in NK that was covertly filmed foraging for food. Her parents had both died and she was roaming the countryside looking for anything to eat. Her rotting corpse was later found in a field.
