Dennis Rodman wants to help make peace between the NBA and China.
As the fallout continues after Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey's tweet in support of Hong Kong protesters, Rodman posted a video on his Twitter account Wednesday in which he offered to serve as the NBA's ambassador in Shanghai.
Rodman is seen in the video holding photos of himself with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and United States President Donald Trump.
@NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, I know a thing or two about diplomacy between other countries. Book me a flight to Shanghai with you! #AmbassadorRodman #Peacemaker #BasketballDiplomacy pic.twitter.com/8Xo580I18p

The former Chicago Bulls star has close ties to both Kim and Trump, and has offered on numerous occasions to help mediate between North Korea and the U.S.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver issued a statement Tuesday saying the NBA supports Morey's right to freedom of expression and that the league's position "is about far more than growing our business."
