From NYDailyNews
Former NBA bad boy Dennis Rodman said he is "just trying to open a door" by going to North Korea on Tuesday in his first visit since President Donald Trump took office.Read more here: http://www.nydailynews.com/newswires/sports/dennis-rodman-open-door-north-korea-article-1.3242306Rodman, who has made several trips to the country, sported a black T-shirt advertising a marijuana cybercurrency as he headed toward immigration at Beijing airport, from where he is expected to fly to Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.
Asked if he had spoken to Trump about his trip, he said, "Well, I'm pretty sure he's pretty much happy with the fact that I'm over here trying to accomplish something that we both need."
Rodman has received the red-carpet treatment on four past trips since 2013, but has been roundly criticized for visiting during a time of high tensions between the U.S. and North Korea over its weapons programs.
His entourage included Joseph Terwilliger, a professor who has accompanied Rodman on previous trips to North Korea.
Rodman said the issue of several Americans currently detained by North Korea is "not my purpose right now."
In Tokyo, a visiting senior U.S. official said Rodman's trip is as a private citizen.

It is an interesting dynamic really - NBA star with a foreign dictator who has a known love for basketball. I think I will soon dedicate one of my blog posts to what goes really behind all of this basketball diplomacy :)
