"{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;Guess &lt;strong&gt;Kim Jong Un&lt;/strong&gt; just isn't a Lakers fan ... 'cause &lt;strong&gt;Kobe Bryant&lt;/strong&gt; claims he was NEVER approached by the North Korean dictator to come visit ... a la &lt;strong&gt;Dennis Rodman&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bryant appeared on &lt;strong&gt;Jimmy Kimmel&lt;/strong&gt; last night and talked about the missile crisis ... saying, \"You know it&amp;#8217;s a crazy world ... I mean, our President is a Chicago Bulls fan. Dennis obviously has great history with that and North Korea.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added, \"I mean, I think we are all just as shocked as everybody is here about that ... but it&amp;#8217;s a weird world.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When asked if KJU ever reached out to him, Kobe replied, \"No, I haven't heard anything yet.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then came the zinger ... when Jimmy asked if Kobe would consider heading over to N. Korea if called upon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kobe: \"Yeah, I would probably pass, I&amp;#8217;d probably pass.\"&lt;br /&gt;Jimmy: \"Oh, for once you are passing!?\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HA!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
