Century Link – by DAN GELSTONDennis Rodman has checked into an undisclosed alcohol rehabilitation center to treat his long-time struggle with alcoholism, his agent says.
Darren Prince declined on Saturday to say which facility will treat Rodman and how long he will be there. Rodman recently returned to the United States from his latest trip to North Korea.
He later apologized for comments he made in North Korea about a detained American missionary, saying he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organized an exhibition game there. He also sang “Happy Birthday” to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the start of the friendly game.
“What was potentially a historic and monumental event turned into a nightmare for everyone concerned,” Prince said. “Dennis Rodman came back from North Korea in pretty rough shape emotionally. The pressure that was put on him to be a combination ‘super human’ political figure and ‘fixer’ got the better of him.
“He is embarrassed, saddened and remorseful for the anger and hurt his words have caused.”
Rodman won five NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls and was one of the NBA’s fiercest rebounders and most colorful personalities. Detroit selected Rodman in the second round of the 1986 draft out of Southeastern Oklahoma. The native of Trenton, N.J., also played for Chicago, San Antonio, the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas. He was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame in of 2011.
He stamped his name on “Dennis Rodman — The original Bad Ass Premium Vodka,” late last year. It was in the works before his relations with North Korea, but has taken off since.
Rodman, known as much for his piercings, tattoos and bad behavior as he was for basketball, was the highest-profile American to meet Kim since Kim inherited power from father Kim Jong Il in 2011. He traveled to the secretive state for the first time last February with the Harlem Globetrotters for an HBO series produced by New York-based VICE television.
But the 52-year-old Rodman has been denounced for not trying to use his influence with Kim to secure the release of Kenneth Bae, an American missionary with health problems who is being held in North Korea on charges of “anti-state” crimes.
He organized a group of retired NBA players to travel to North Korea for that exhibition game. Rodman dedicated the contest to his “best friend” Kim, who along with his wife and other senior officials and their wives watched from a special seating area. The capacity crowd of about 14,000 at the Pyongyang Indoor Stadium clapped loudly as Rodman sang a verse from the song.
Rodman had an angry meltdown before the game on CNN, defending his decision to travel to North Korea.
“People forget Dennis is just an entertainer and retired NBA star,” Prince said. “The fact remains that a basketball game was played in North Korea live in front of 14,000 people and hundreds of millions around the world viewed clips of the game.”
You must know these North Koreans make fun of him behind his back.
““Dennis Rodman came back from North Korea in pretty rough shape emotionally.”
Duh! He’s lucky he came back alive at all.
“The pressure that was put on him to be a combination ‘super human’ political figure and ‘fixer’ got the better of him.”
Super human? Is that what they are calling Satanists these days?
““He is embarrassed, saddened and remorseful for the anger and hurt his words have caused.””
Yea, I’m sure he is. I’ve heard NSA and Obama recite better bullshit than this.
Who cares about this clown.
He should just buy his own.
My Fellow Patriots:
What a load of donkey crap this cover story is,…
Lets take a look here:
1) “…he had been drinking and was under pressure as he organized an exhibition game there.”
Really,….. please tell me,.. how much PRESSURE was he put under to organize a,.. basketball game???? (Because of course he’s NEVER done that before,… and its SOOOO hard to organized something that was ALREADY organized by your communist host…)
2) “… He also sang “Happy Birthday” to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the start of the friendly game.”
Yes,… and the rest of the time there, Rodman spent profusely kissing Un’s ass.
3) “…..Dennis Rodman came back from North Korea in pretty rough shape emotionally.”
Yes,… I’m sure the commies tripped all over themselves treating him like some kind of Rockstar from the moment he landed, until the moment he left,… and that must have been VERY draining,.. emotionally. (Of course, being treated like he has Super-Rockstar status would NEVER feed his insatiable ego!!??? would it?,…. nnaaahhhhh.)
3) “….. Dennis Rodman has checked into an undisclosed alcohol rehabilitation center to treat his long-time struggle with alcoholism, his agent says.”
No!,… he didn’t. Rodman’s a booze jockey,.. and revelles in his other vices as well,…. and has absolutely no plan on eliminating any of them from his daily diet.
The real reason for his “undisclosed” location, is because the CIA will be giving him further training,.. and it takes a bit longer to train this monkey than the average.
You can be 100% sure people,… Rodman is an acting Whitehouse/CIA Operative,… a courier that is transmitting secret messages &/or codes (encryption/decryption) that truly is contrary to the interests of this country.
His circus lifetyle and basketball notority merely make for a cover story that the stupid and innane choke down with the rest of the Fox fed propaganda.
Rodman is, from head to toe,… and with every cell of his worthless body, a complete and utter traitor.
JD – US Marines – Expected to see more rhetoric out of NK,.. as per hand delivered script.
You mean it’s not true what they said about him in “Men in Black”, JD?
Don’t worry, #1. I still believe he’s an alien. lol
Hi #1,
Well,.. the explanation we got about him in MIB,.. is probably much closer to the truth than ANYTHING the American Propaganda Media will ever tell us!!

“The real reason for his “undisclosed” location, is because the CIA will be giving him further training,.. and it takes a bit longer to train this monkey than the average.”
You’re most likely right on that one, JD. Damn, I can’t believe I didn’t think about that. Good point.
Just another part of the on-going freak show that the Zionist media addicts thrive on.
He’s completely irrelevant, whether the CIA is using him or not.
Hi Jolly Roger,
This is NOT about theatrics and news tabloid fodder,… it never was.
Determining if he is recieving his “instructions” from the CIA or the White House matters in discerning that Chain Of Command,.. which does matter,.. a great deal.
There are clearly distinctive forces in the upper echelons of these psychos,… and they are in fight for total control, as witnessed by the split of leadership in Syria which is the root cause of the “militant in-fighting” (which is primarily along two lines at this point…).
Find the source of this rift, who is behind these two factions,… and you add another potential weapon in exposing, and undermining their efforts.
Rodman has more importance than you may realize at the moment.
JD – US Marines – Sometimes, and what appears to an insignificant person or event,… is the thread that unravels the taperestry of deciet if properly followed up on. NO detail,.. is to small in this ultimate game of Nation destruction,.. and life & death.
I am so concerned and i care so much for dennis rodman guy – YEA RIGHT – that I hope he goes to one of those loong term in house treatment centers like they did to me – like a 2 year minimum stay treatment like they did to me, and that would be 24 hr.s a day and 7 days a week for at least 2 years minimum.
Hi Jolly Roger,
Your right, Rodman in and of himself does not matter,… it’s what he’s carrying back and forth that has grave implications,…. and his willingness to do it (treason) that matters. – JD
