Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is tapping his friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to call for the release of a Korean-American man detained in the North.
North Korea's young leader has riled the U.S. with recent nuclear tests, but Kim Jong Un doesn't really want war with the superpower, just a call from President Barack Obama to chat about their shared love of basketball, says ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman.
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman brought his basketball skills and flamboyant style - neon-bleached hair, tattoos, nose studs and all - on Tuesday to the isolated Communist country with possibly the world's drabbest dress code: North Korea.
