“He basically asked for Michael Jordan first and Michael said no. He asked Scottie Pippen but Scottie Pippen said no. Then he asked me, I said yes,”Rodman added.

The 2011 Hall of Famer went to North Korea in 2013. He gained a lot of popularity because of his visit and befriended the Supreme Leader of North Korea during his visit.

Kim Jong-un is a huge fan of the Chicago Bulls and, therefore, he wanted someone from the Chicago Bulls’ three-peat winners to visit his country. However, with Jordan and Pippen declining the request, it was Rodman who agreed to the request.

Rodman sat alongside Kim Jong-un and watched the exhibition match between Harlem Globetrotters and North Koreans. The match ended in a 110-110 draw as there was no overtime to be played.
