Dennis Rodman and North Korea leader Kim Jong-un have been close friends since 2013 but it might not have been that way had someone else also wanted to be cool with Jong-un.
Rodman appeared on TMZ Live and said that Michael Jordan rejected the invite to go to North Korea at the time so Rodman was the second one to be asked and the rest is history. Rodman went on to say that he likes Jong-un because he has been treated as a friend.
Rodman also quickly dismissed points about Jong-un getting people killed. He preached how sports united the two. Many viewed this friendship as Rodman quickly downhill for himself along with him wearing a MAGA hat on CNN a few weeks ago.
