Former Knick Charles Smith regrets trip to North Korea with Dennis Rodman

By Kevin Manahan/NJ.com

January 07, 2014

Former Knicks star Charles Smith is second-guessing his decision to travel to North Korea with Dennis Rodman to stage an exhibition basketball game to celebrate the country's leader, Kim Jong Un.

Smith apparently thought that, with Rodman as the organizer, the goodwill tour of the communist country -- where human rights are abused and Kim recently executed his own uncle -- would go smoothly and without controversy.

To which we say: Really?

Smith's comments came after Rodman's latest circus -- a meltdown in a CNN interview.

Apparently, NK made a special vodka bottle for Rodman as you can see from the picture below. It features figures of both Rodman and Kim, while the title above them says in Korean, "Dennis Rodman."

Dennis Rodman craves attention.
Dennis Rodman gets attention.

It appears everything has worked according to plan.

It wasn’t about feeding his narcissism or all those pretty pleasure girls which were provided.

You have to wonder what Lil Kim’s fascination with Rodman is all about. I’m guessing man love.

Rodman has stoked the fire by calling Kim his friend for life and for defending the leader -- however feebly -- in interview after interview.

Rodman needs to open his eyes.

Kim is worse than the worst white plantation owner in the pre-civil war South. Kim's a monster. And Rodman? He's coming across as the biggest fool in the world...

He ought to understand that a majority of Americans loathe Jane Fonda for what she did with North Viet Nam and a majority of Americans will loathe him too

Also, if the black Rodman team beats the short underfed North Korean team, does he really think Kim Jun Monster is letting them go?

While I understand your point, I am not sure that people will equate what he is doing as treason.

I think a better analogy would be the folks constantly going to Cuba to worship Fidel. Except Dennis cannot communicate well.

There was never peace declared in the Korean war, yeah it’s treason, although I get your point too.

Former Knick Charles Smith regrets trip to North Korea with Dennis Rodman

I watched the clip of Rodman's meltdown yesterday. If you look at the players sitting behind him in that video, they appear to be very uncomfortable with the way Rodman was acting during the interview. I'm not surprised Charles Smith regrets his decision to participate in this sham. Some of the other players probably feel the same way.

I wonder how the MSM would of carried this story if Roddman was a conservative.
