Rodman To Train North Korea Team For Olympics Former NBA star Dennis Rodman has said he will train the North Korean basketball team for the Olympics. Rodman, who came back at the weekend after a five-day trip to the reclusive nation, also revealed that leader Kim Jong-Un has a baby daughter named Ju-ae. He said he will go back in December to help select local players for the games, adding that he hopes to have ex-NBA stars such as former Chicago teammate Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone take part. Rodman attended a basketball game with Mr Kim during his previous trip Rodman said the North Korean leader asked him to train his players to compete in the 2016 Olympics and offered to allow the basketball great to write a book about him. Rodman, who has travelled twice to North Korea, has called Mr Kim a "friend for life." Mr Kim's wife, Ri Sol, had appeared to be pregnant in pictures issued last year by North Korea's state news agency, although no confirmation was available. She then disappeared from public view, returning in October. Rodman shared pictures of his most recent visit with Kim Jong-Un "I held their baby Ju-ae and spoke with Ms Ri as well," Rodman said in an interview with The Guardian newspaper. He's a good dad and has a beautiful family. Mr Kim is the third member of his family to rule North Korea. Information on him is scarce, but he is believed to be 30-years-old. In the Guardian interview, Rodman said: "The Marshal Kim and I had a relaxing time by the sea with his family.

Upon return, Rodman was asked about the fate of an American missionary held in North Korea. But he said it was not his job to secure his release.
