On Friday, ABC's Michael Strahan sat down with the onetime Chicago Bull to talk about the freakish trip, which coincided with the release of Otto Warmbier, the 22-year-old University of Virginia student held in detention for 17 months after allegedly attempting to steal a propaganda poster in Pyongyang.
President Trump said on Monday North Korea's authorities were responsible for the student's death, stressing that his administration planned to prevent any new such incidents.
Throngs of mourners paid their final respects to Otto Warmbier Thursday at a public funeral at the high school he attended near Cincinnati.
Otto Warmbier's brother, sister and friends were scheduled to speak at the funeral Thursday in his hometown of Wyoming, near Cincinnati. At present, there are three American citizens held in North Korea. "I look at the friendship about him", Rodman said. A North Korean kangaroo court sentenced Warmbier to 15 years forced labor after he was caught moving a political banner from his hotel. Warmbier was accused of an attempt to "undermine unity of the Korean people". Doctors in the USA said Warmbier had severe brain damage and was in a state of "unresponsive wakefulness".
American concern is growing over North Korea's acceleration toward having a nuclear missile that can strike the USA mainland.
His family declined an autopsy. It later turned out that the young man was in a coma, but reports on the circumstances were controversial.

In Spain, sentences of under two-years are often suspended if the convicted person has no previous criminal record. However, if found guilty, Ron could be fined further and sentenced.
"It didn't happen to me", Bae said.
The life of a 22-year-old college student who died this week after being detained for almost a year and a half in North Korea will be celebrated in an OH hometown still stunned by his loss.
The cause of Warmbier's death is not known, and his family objected to an autopsy, a request the Hamilton County Coroner's Office in OH honored.
"No conclusions about the cause and manner of Mr. Warmbier's death have been drawn at this time as there are additional medical records and imaging to review and people to interview", the coroner's office statement said.
But the spokesman, whom state news did not identify, said that American doctors who flew to Pyongyang to evacuate Mr. Warmbier recognized that the North had "provided him with medical treatment and brought him back alive" after his "heart was almost stopped".
The student was released from North Korea on June 13, a week after the U.S. Department of State learned he had fallen into a coma after contracting botulism.
The US secretary of defence, Jim Mattis, said Washington's patience with Pyongyang was running out.
