Dennis Rodman has created his version of “basketball diplomacy.”
Rodman has named a team of former NBA players to play an exhibition basketball game in Pyongyang, North Korea.
Rodman will lead the team that includes former NBA All-Stars Kenny Anderson, Cliff Robinson, and Vin Baker. Craig Hodges, Doug Christie and Charles D. Smith are on the team, as well. They will play against a top North Korean senior national team on Wednesday, marking Kim Jong Un’s birthday.
Rodman has said his mission has always been to avoid any politics.

In many ways, the Huskies were playing with house money and had nothing to lose heading into Saturday’s game at No. 1 Arizona.
Huskies men’s basketball coach Lorenzo Romar told Percy Allen of the Seattle Times that this road trip can help the Huskies.
“If we understand we’re a better defensive team than we were before and we take that with us and understand if we play the right way, that we have a chance to be competitive with anyone in our league,” he said. “If we can remember that, and remember why, then we can draw from this weekend.”
