From Basketball to Pyongyang: Dennis Rodman’s life and career have been anything but ordinary

[post_page_title]After the NBA: Befriending Kim Jong Un[/post_page_title]
In 2011, Kim Jong Un became the leader of communist North Korea. As it turns out, Kim had a fondness for Rodman and somehow the two became friends. Rodman first visited North Korea in March 2013, when he brought the Harlem Globetrotters with him. They did a tour of the country and played a game that ended with a score of 110-110, and Kim was given a Globetrotters jersey. He returned to the communist country later that year with a betting company. He returned again in December to hold tryouts for a team.
