WestVirginiaRebel Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Fox News: Dennis Rodman may be losing the locker room full of NBA old-timers he brought to North Korea, especially after a TV appearance that went over like an air ball at the buzzer. Onetime NBA star Charles Smith, a 6 foot, 10 inch tall center who had a stellar career with three teams, said the 10-member team of retired players' planning to play an exhibition game Wednesday against a team of North Koreans has become "dwarfed" by the spectacle that is Rodman. "What we are doing is positive, but it is getting dwarfed by the other circumstances around it," Smith, 48, told The Associated Press. "Apparently our message is not being conveyed properly due to the circumstances that are much bigger than us, and I think that has to do with politics and government." Smith's comments came after a bizarre TV appearance in which he and other former stars including Vin Baker, Kenny Anderson and Cliff Robinson sat behind Rodman as he tried to defend the trip to the communist dictatorship. The players appeared to be uncomfortable as Rodman, an NBA Hall of Famer known as much for his erratic behavior as the rebounding and defense he provided alongside Michael Jordan during his days as a Chicago Bull. ________ Dennis Rodman, goodwill ambassador Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
