Video: Rodman Sinks To New Low, Sings Happy Birthday To North Korean Leader

PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) - Dennis Rodman has sung "Happy Birthday" to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un before leading a squad of former NBA stars onto the court at a Pyongyang stadium for a game Rodman said is part of his "basketball diplomacy" with the North that has been heavily criticized in the United States.

Rodman dedicated the game Wednesday to his "best friend" Kim, who along with his wife and other senior officials and their wives watched from a special seating area.
