While Aries Spears considered both of them alike, they surely don’t feel the same about each other. Tyson has accused Rodman of treason and getting involved in anti-American activities while referring to Rodman’s trip to North Korea.

He quoted to CBS Philly, It’s treason. It’s treason, 100%. Look, I’m not politically incarnate or anything, but when you examine what treason is, it’s treason. He’s in another land, that’s an enemy of our land, and he’s talking [expletive] on us. He’s talking really bad to our guys over there.
