Eccentric former NBA star Dennis Rodman's budding bromance with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has taken its next step, with Rodman reportedly traveling to the country's capital city of Pyongyang to train its national basketball team, according to reports.

According to Mashable.com, a supposedly star-studded exhibition game between the North Korean national team and an "NBA all-stars team" to commemorate Kim's 31st birthday in early January is the occasion.

The match is sponsored by an Irish online betting company called Paddy Power, the report said.

Rodman will train the North Korean squad for its matchup against the NBA side, the report added.
