Maybe David Stern will fine him now.

"You know, like I said, I don't want to meddle," Obama told TNT. "I will say this: [Derrick] Rose, Joakim Noah it's a pretty good core. You know, you could see LeBron fitting in pretty well there."
He might be a little busy running the country and all but he does clearly keep up on the NBA."I think that the most important thing for LeBron right now is actually to find a structure where he's got a coach that he respects and is working hard with teammates who care about him and if that's in Cleveland, then he should stay in Cleveland," Obama said. "If he doesn't feel like he can get it there, then someplace else."
Obama compared James' situation to the Bulls not winning until Michael Jordan had confidence in Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen and the rest of his teammates. Once that happened, Chicago won six NBA championships in the 1990s.
"It wasn't until you got that framework around you that you could be a champion," Obama said. "Same thing happened with Kobe [Bryant]. You know, I think that, first with Shaq [O'Neal] then later with [Pau] Gasol, you know, he's gotten that sense of a team around him and I think LeBron hasn't quite been able to get that yet. That's what he needs to find."

Shouldn't he be doing something of importance?
Maybe this will allow Ohio to return to being a "red state?" We can only hope.

Yeah, who cares who is paying his salary. He's allowed to have an opinion about his hometown team.

As far as I'm concerned, the less politicking Obama actually does, the better. If he wants to spend all his time following the NBA, that's fine with me.

No, fuck him. An obscene amount of my generation is unemployed and none of it is our doing, the generations above us have fucked this country up for us and dug a hole that WE have to dig THEM out of.
So Mr. President, suck my fucking cock and do something that is in your job description. He should say "no comment, we have more important things to work on." And the guy who asked him about it should be fired too. I don't care what any former president did, I'd say the same about any of them.
Have no problem with following sports on his own time, but he has no more credibility than anyone posting on this thread regarding this situation. So while most of you are saying, "oh boy, what does the president think about our sports? That's soooo interesting!" I'm over here saying you're all fucking retarded.

No shit because his lazy slacker mother fucker video game playing generation isn't going to "dig" anyone out of anything. That would "technically" be "manual labor" which they are opposed to.mallymal614 wrote: ^^^

Or more likely Jordan started winning Championships because Jabbar,Bird, Dr J, Isiah and Magic all got old and or retired.

Since Obama has been so right about so much already, maybe LeBron should listen to him. :s

Not really.
I have the same reaction when I hear LeBron James talk about politics and the media covers it as if he has any credibility and people have interest in it as if he would have any credibility on the subject.

I figured it out! Sleeper works for Mickey D's. I've never seen an individual mention a corporation as much as he does. Let me ask you Sleeper, do you work the drive-in or are you the fry guy?sleeper wrote:McDonalds is hiring bro.No, fuck him.

As far as Obama talking about Lebron, as someone else pointed out, the less he's working in Washington the better. Heck, if he would like to resign from the White House and take David Stern's job, that would be fine by me.

Gee thanks Captain Obvious. it would be one thing if he said something that he didnt get from ESPN or some other sports analyst. Obama doesnt know any more about sports than anyone else in this country. even when he was talking about the final four, all he said was the same old talking points you can find anywhere else. if he actually had any better insight on anything, maybe i would care what he said about sports."I think that the most important thing for LeBron right now is actually to find a structure where he's got a coach that he respects and is working hard with teammates who care about him and if that's in Cleveland, then he should stay in Cleveland," Obama said.
