Dennis Rodman gives keynote address at unveiling of Stephon Marbury statue

I’ve given up trying to come out with setups for each ‘what random event will Dennis Rodman show up at next?’ scenarios. Just read for yourselves here, via Deadspin:

"Starbury would go on to tweet many things—on varied subjects—including how blessed his life is, how all things are possible through Christ, the implications of his statue on world history and, of course, the debt the United States owes to China. Oh, and Dennis Rodman was there to give some sort of speech."

Why is China building a statue of Stephon Marbury? Does the statue also have a tattoo on the side of its head? Why is Dennis Rodman giving a speech during the unveiling? Why is water wet?
