Flamboyant former NBA star Dennis Rodman has left North Korea without meeting the country's leader Kim Jong Un, but with high praise for local basketball players Rodman trained while there.
"They are awesome," Rodman told CNN while in transit at Beijing Capital International Airport on Monday.
Rodman started his third visit to North Korea last week, spending four days in the isolated nation to assist setting up an exhibition game featuring North Korean players and a dozen NBA veteran players - identities of which are yet to be announced. The friendly game is planned for Kim Jong Un's birthday on January 8.

Big fat furry deal!
Rodman, do some good here at home.
Unfortunately, more and more celebrities are giving to good causes, but far from home.
Yea aint that somethin @ Rachel? Wonder why that is??
there nothin wrong with charity extending far from home as long as one remembers that even rain needs water...
I agree. Nothing wrong at all with giving to those in need on the other side of the globe. But what about the children in this countr Why do some celebrities overlook them? Let's do remember the billions already going to foreign countries.
I think his trip is ill advised.
WHAT is a cosmotogist? Ive never heard of that.
Is that anything like a mixologist? That maybe specializes in Cosmo's only??? Fancy name for barkeeper?
Dennis just needs to remember to tell his teammates to throw the game. We don't want to upset the little funny haired wonder. Especially on hi birthday.
Lol Merry Christmas @ bobcat. And true the chubby one's ego is as big as him i think!
kids are being tortured in concentration camps, working 18 hours a day, having their fingers cut off for not behaving, and here Denny Rodman is just chilling out and shooting some hoops in north korea, not to mention becoming good friends with the leader. Rodman is a traitor who should be executed. Or just don't let him come back...
