?Dennis Rodman was greeted by 140,000 people

The 41-year-old Kim Jong-un is one of the most feared leaders in the world, mainly because of his draconian laws in North Korea.

Dennis revealed that Kim Jong-un got a bit too friendly and wanted Rodman to become a permanent resident of North Korea.“He was looking for condos for me to live there. I’m like that means actually never come back here,” he revealed. Rodman told that he clearly didn’t share the same enthusiasm about the idea.

The Bulls legend even went on several shopping trips with the supreme leader and even described him as his best friend for life. Kim Jong-un had a special request for Dennis Rodman, too.

Kim Jong Un made a rather special request to the basketball legend when he visited North Korea. Rodman revealed, “They said, ?Dennis, we?d love you to do one thing for us. For the next Olympics, can you train our Olympic team to compete at the Olympics for the next three years?'”?Rodman arranged a basketball match between North Korea and a set of former NBA players.
