BASKETBALL DIPLOMACY


 



*

“Guess what, I love him. The guy’s really awesome.”

Dennis Rodman on Kim Jong Un

 

“The image that comes to mind is a guy who’s playing with matches.  He’s sitting atop a renegade nuclear weapons state, and the thing that drives him is not the entreaties by China or the United States, it’s meeting Dennis Rodman. Maybe we should have given Rodman the denuclearization brief.”

  Victor Cha, the Korea chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies and the author of “Beyond the Final Score: The Politics of Sport in Asia.”

 

Kim Jong Un:

Welcome to my country Mr. Rod Man. 

Dennis Rodman:

Thank you, sir.

Kim Jong Un:

Please, just call me KJ.

Dennis Rodman:

Sure thing.  Thank you KJ!

Kim Jong Un:

You want to shoot the hoops after lunch?

Dennis Rodman:

Sure thing KJ!  You’re the bomb…I mean the man!

Dennis Rodman

Oh, I love it when you call me a man.  You’re so big and strong!.

Dennis Rodman:

Thank you KJ!

Kim Jong Un:

How do you like being the President?

Dennis Rodman:

You mean Barack Obama.  I’m the basketball player.

Kim Jong Un:

Oh, excuse me.  I need to get more sleep.

Dennis Rodman:

No problem KJ.

Kim Jong Un:

How about Kim Chee and beer before we attack the hoops!

Dennis Rodman:

Well, sure [잘 있는지].

 

 

IT’S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
