Dennis Rodman apparently wants to insert himself into the Brittney Griner situation, suggesting he's going to fly to Russia to try and talk with Vladimir Putin to secure her release.
As NBC and other outlets have noted ... Rodman doesn't actually need permission to head to Russia right now -- and there's no word yet on whether this is a U.S.-sanctioned effort.The feds have advised Americans not to travel to Russia at the moment -- and they're already actively working on securing BG's release -- but we suppose we'll see if DR actually touches down in the near future to do something that isn't already happening. BTW, he was in town in D.C.
It's also possible he's got a soft spot for the Griner sitch ... seeing how he's a fellow hooper himself. Stranger things have happened -- here's hoping Vlad's a big '90s Bulls fan.
