Dennis Rodman wants a Nobel Peace Prize for his NBA diplomacy
Dennis Rodman sat down with Sports Illustrated’s Franz Lidz to talk about his controversial trip to North Korea, saying that his efforts in world diplomacy should be enough to earn him a Nobel Peace Prize.
“My mission is to break the ice between hostile countries,” he said. “Why it’s been left to me to smooth things over, I don’t know. Dennis Rodman, of all people. Keeping us safe is really not my job; it’s the black guy’s [Obama’s] job. But I’ll tell you this: If I don’t finish in the top three for the next Nobel Peace Prize, something’s seriously wrong.”
The former NBA player recently traveled to Pyongyang with a few members of the Harlem Globetrotters and a crew from HBO’s television series “Vice,”Sports Illustrated reported.
Mr. Rodman said he knew very little of North Korea or Kim Jong-un before the trip.
“I didn’t know Kim Jong-un from Lil' Kim. I didn’t know what country he ruled or what went on in the country he ruled,” he told Lidz.
Mr. Rodman later said that Kim is a “friend for life.”

"Dennis Rodman wants a Nobel Peace Prize for his NBA diplomacy" ... Sure, why not? The Nobel Committee awarded it to this fine socialist idiot in 2009.
If they can give a Nobel peace prize for merely being elected, they can give it to anybody for doing nothing at all.
Give him one, after all they gave Obama one for peace or something. Such a cheap prize.
What the heck, couldn’t demean the award more than it has already been.
Why not indeed? Rodman is at least as deserving as The Mombasa MF, and a lot better hoops guy.
Bammy deserves another Norwegian Peepee for his good works in Egypt.
I hope they give it to him. What the hell.
What? Is Dennis Rodman trying to prove he’s a bigger idiot than Obama?
(And I swear I was gonna post that when I read the title of this thread, but you beat me to it)
Hell. Give everyone in the world one, just like Pee-Wee soccer - so as not to hurt anyone's Feelings ...
i’d rather he received a mandela necklace.
Now we are talkin’. Don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings. Everybody is a winner ... hate to do away with competition, you know that little spark that causes things to happen, to advance, to cause human progression.
Just funnin’
This “man” always looks like he’d smell really bad.
Some past Nobel Peace Prize winners- Yasser Arafat, Barak Obama, Jimmy Carter, International panel on Climate Change.
Heck, Rodman ought to get an apology from the Nobel Peace Prize committee for having been overlooked for so many years.
What an ill-informed ego-centric putz. Give him the worthless award. Who cares? It's been worthless since Arafat got one - the same guy who declared an intifada against Israel with all the bombing of innocent civilians that went on for years.
Go ahead, make us laugh at the Nobel committee once again after giving Obama a "peace prize" for doing absolutely nothing. You actually think you still have status in the real world? Pfft!
No one really gives a crap about the Nobel "Peace" prize any longer. No one even pays attention. You Nobel people only exist to further your agendas, and take in donations. Too bad you've made such a bad name for Mr. Nobel because the science awards have now been diminished in light of your greed and stupidity.
I could invent the ultimate free energy system and get your science award and would now mean NOTHING. You people have fouled every award category by your inane "peace" prize. Have you not noticed that even Obama doesn't brag about his worthless "peace" prize? And he's a guy who brags.
You I read where doctors are saying that brain transplants may be feasible in the near future, I think Rodman would be a perfect candidate!
Don't forget that GREAT humanitarian [Al Gore] who beat out that human rights wannabe, Irena Sendler, who ONLY rescued 2500 children out of the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII ...
He’s very repulsive.
Gore was so full of himself that he thought he was entitled to a free groin muscle massage.
