Basketball Diplomacy: Lunch with the North Korean Team (VICE on HBO Ep. #10 Extended)

Watch this video about Ryan Duffy and Dennis Rodman’s trip to North Korea to exercise Basketball Diplomacy with Kim Jong Un.

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman says that something is “seriously wrong” if he isn’t a top contender for the Nobel Peace Prize this year. The five-time NBA champion became the first American to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un earlier this year when he visited the country as part of a Vice trip to film a documentary. While there he struck up quite a friendship with the North Korean leader and urged U.S. President Barack Obama to call Kim upon returning home.
