Rodman's trip to DPRK

Arguably the most extravagant player in NBA history has a new friend: the 28-year-old leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un. Dennis Rodman, a former teammate of Michael Jordan during the Chicago Bulls' most dominant years, became somewhat of an outcast of the league due to his crazy behavior and style. But on a trip with Vice Media to North Korea with the Harlem Globetrotters for what some have called an attempt at "basketball diplomacy", Rodman found friendship in the country's young leader. He spoke about his experience on national television in the US.

Chinese fans grab Phelps' balls

Michael Phelps, 22-time Olympic swimming medalist, was in China recently to film The Haney Project. The show follows the legendary swimmer while he attempts to perfect his golf game. But the fans at China's Mission Hills golf course were overly anxious to get a cool souvenir. They were stealing his balls right off the course - even straight from the fairway. Despite his frustration, Phelps handled the situation pretty well. #TIC #ThisIsChina

What the station ended up with was a disrespectful, miserably failed attempt.
