Former NBA star Dennis Rodman continues to court controversy with his actions in North Korea.
The American basketball player and a group of former athletes are in the reclusive communist country to celebrate the birthday of its leader Kim Jong-un.
Rodman’s visit, however, drew sharp criticism when he suggested that Korean American Kenneth Bae, who has been confined in North Korea for over a year, was at fault for being held captive there.
