In February, the basketball world was hit with a big shock. Traveling to write another chapter in her basketball journey, Brittney Griner was detained in Russia. Ever since the former WNBA Defensive Player of The Year hasn’t returned home. Away from her loved ones for all these months, the USA is making efforts to bring back the basketball icon.

Notably, the detention came at an airport near Moscow. The two-time Olympic gold medal winner was caught in possession of cannabis oil vape cartridges. That gave the start to one of the biggest controversies in the basketball world. Both the players and the leagues have come out to show support for Griner.

However, it seems there is one man who is taking matters into his own hands. Former Chicago Bulls star Dennis Rodman dropped a bombshell claiming he is traveling to Russia to put an end to the Brittany Griner saga.

Is Rodman bringing Brittney Griner back to the USA?

The original bad boy of the NBA is undoubtedly one of the most iconic players in NBA history. However, his persona doesn’t change once he leaves the court. Rodman has constantly been in the news for his antics. Notably, the two-time Defensive Player of The Year even claims to be friends with North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-Un. Likewise, at a time the USA is finding a way to bring Griner back, Dennis Rodman has been doing some work himself.

As the WNBA is serving her nine-year sentence, Rodman spoke on his plans to be the negotiator. Speaking to NBC, the Worm claimed he plans on going and speaking about Brittney’s release in the ongoing week. Rodman said: “I got permission to go to Russia to help that girl. I’m trying to go this week.”

While Rodman has made a name for himself among international leaders, President Joe Biden and US officials have devised a way to potentially bring Britteny Griner back home. However, it isn’t just the WNBA star. The USA is trying to negotiate a potential prison swap that would bring both Griner as well as another American currently imprisoned in Russia, Paul Whelan, back to the US.
