The former wild child of NBA with N. Korean
Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un at a basketball game
Stranger things have happened, such as the tragedy in S.Africa, with Oscar Pistorius shooting his girlfriend during Valentine's day, but that is for the courts to decide whether it was premeditated murder, manslaughter or a really unfortunate and tragic mistake.
Denis Rodman, the clown and very talented former NBA rebounder, took the world by surprise by visiting North Korea and making buddies with the Supreme Leader, Kim Jong Un, the son of the late leader Kim Jong Il..
Given the latest developments by North Korea in shooting 'satellites' into space, the world is nautrally very concerned about Armageddon, or all out nuclear war. Hence, it is indeed a great thing that Denis (a 'brother" in black American terms) made the effort to reach out to this isolated leader, who obviously is a great fan of Rodman and NBA. He used his celebrity status to maximum effect hence showing the world that Kim is like all of us, an ordinary person who enjoys basketball,football and meeting with his 'pals'. We are all equal under the eyes of God.
For this act of friendship (or comradeship), I recommend Denis to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He has lowered the threat of war by a great degree.
