NEW: Kim Jong Un wanted 'famous' U.S. basketball players as part of denuclearization deal

Ahead of the second summit in Hanoi, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un requested as part of the agreement between the countries moving forward that the U.S. send"famous basketball players" to normalize relations between the two countries, according to two U.S. officials.

On Friday, the North Koreans fired off rocket launchers and short-range projectiles, which has been seen as a provocation since the statement following the failed summit. U.S. Special Envoy Stephen Beguin has arrived in South Korea for additional talks with Asian counterparts on how to relaunch negotiations.

Kim Jong Un's father Kim Jong Il was also a fan of basketball and requested that the U.S. send Michael Jordan to North Korea.

Huh? He has Fuhrer TinyPaws von Schïïtbag groveling at his feet like a lovesick 12 year old boy and has hours of propaganda including TinyPaws saluting a N Korean general.
