NBA legend Dennis Rodman says Kim Jong-un "more like a big kid"
Dennis Rodman, the former NBA star and a good friend of Kim Jong-un, today said the reclusive young North Korean leader was "more like a big kid" who "loves to have a good time."
Wearing a red "Make America Great Again" baseball cap, the 57-year-old former NBA Hall-of-Famer, who has travelled to Pyongyang several times, described the 34-year-old Kim a "good friend."
"He was taking selfies and all that," said Rodman of his various meetings with Kim. "This guy wants to be around the world, he wants to go to America."
After helping train North Korean basketball players and arranging to bring ex-NBA players to the country, according to Rodman, Kim approached him to say, "Dennis, you know, this is the first time someone ever kept their word to me in this country."
"When I got home (from North Korea in 2014), I got so many death threats. I was sitting up protecting everything," said Rodman. "But I kept my head up high, brother. I knew things were gonna change. I was the only one."
