Watch Dennis Rodman try to broker peace with North Korea [Video]

Dennis Rodman, former NBA star and seemingly a lifelong bad boy, can add a new moniker to his name: ambassador.

Rodman has just returned from a trip to North Korea with the Harlem Globetrotters and he has a message for President Obama: Give North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a call.

The former high-energy forward with the champion Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls and later the Lakers, met for several hours over the course of two days with 28-year-old Kim Jong Un, who took control in December 2011 of a country that for decades had been dominated by the dictatorships of his father and grandfather.

Rodman appeared on the ABC news show “This Week� with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday morning to discuss the trip.

“He loves basketball,� Rodman said of Kim. “Obama loves basketball. Let’s start there. Let’s start there.�

Stephanopoulos went into full attack mode, calling out Kim for human-rights abuses and the threat to annihilate America.

“Guess what?� Rodman said. “He doesn’t want war. One thing he doesn’t want is that.�

As Stephanopoulos continued to harp on North Korea’s prison camps, abuses toward its people and the continued threats to destroy America, Rodman had this to say about his visit: “It was history. It was history.�

The full interview is featured in the above video.
