Online Gambling Firm Paddy Power Sending Dennis Rodman Back to North Korea
Irish online gambling company Paddy Power is sending retired NBA star Dennis Rodman back to North Korea to help coach the national basketball team there.
He'll spend several days helping train the North Korean basketball team, which will play at least one exhibition game against former NBA players in January, according to the company. Paddy Power sponsored Rodman’s last trip to the aptly titled “Hermit Kingdom” and this time will be shooting a documentary on the event.
It was not immediately clear as to whether Rodman would be meeting with the head of North Korea, Kim Jong Un.
"You have a friend for life," Rodman told Kim after the two men sat next to each other watching an unusual basketball exhibition in Pyongyang last February.
