Dennis Rodman, the ex-NBA star and current buddy of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, isn't saying when his next visit to Pyongyang will be, but he did make a prediction: the Lakers haven't got a chance this season.
Rodman was in Tokyo on Friday to promote a Japanese cable network's coverage of the NBA season. He refused to take any questions about his plans for more visits to North Korea, saying that's a topic for another time.
He did say he was pretty sure of one thing. "We know that the Miami Heat, that's the best team," he said. "The Lakers, no chance."
