Retired NBA star Dennis Rodman has angrily rejected calls to lobby for the release of imprisoned American citizen Kenneth Bae, after leaving North Korea on Saturday following a meet with autocratic leader Kim Jong Un.
According to CBS News, despite earlier calling on Kim to set Bae free, Rodman expressed the Christian missionary's fate was none of his business.
Rodman said that it was President Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton's job to ask about the American citizen.
Chomping an unlit cigar, the typically flamboyant Rodman displayed a stack of photos showing him hugging Kim, laughing and conversing with him over a meal, and the two of them watching a basketball game together, the report said.
The NBA Hall of Famer and five-time championship winner said the two had formed a close bond over the course of his two visits to the isolated communist dictatorship, the report added.
