Obama Pressuring Lebron To Sign With Chicago?
When the U.S. President talks to you and suggests that you sign with the Bulls how do you say no?
I mean how is Lebron going to say no to Obama? No way Barack. This looks like it is in the bag for Chicago. You betcha'

Quote from well known personality who led their high school team to a state championship.“As a captain, I played furiously. I drew a lot of fouls, but I brought everything I had to every practice and to every game. I left everything on the court because I simply wanted the team to win”
He could say "I'll sign with the Bulls as soon as you stop signing over the countries' money to a handful of greedy bankers." That would be a fair statement.
So how many titles do think Rose and Lebron will win together?Apollo wrote:
1 Title
3 Titles
5 Titles
What is your guess?
So much for the Raptors winning a NBA title in the next 6 or 7 years.
Oh well. The NBA will always be a fun game to watch. After all as Sheed has said.

I just remembered.
Didn't Obama make a plea to the Olympic Committee on Chicago's behalf? In fact I think he actually flew over to Europe to present his case. Of course the IOC is not American so they said "Thanks but no thanks" and chose Buenos Aris instead of Chicago.
I don't think Lebron will have a choice like they did.

Bloomberg says NBA’s LeBron James would love NYC
cont on linkBloomberg says NBA’s LeBron James would love NYC
NEW YORK (AP)—Mayor Michael Bloomberg says that if LeBron James(notes) calls to ask what it’s like to live in New York City, he will give the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar a “big sales pitch.”
“Rumors are that both the Knicks and the Nets would like to get him. I would never take sides on that, but I think it would be great for New York if he would come here,” Bloomberg said on his weekly Friday show on WOR Radio.
The two-time MVP will be the most-coveted prize when the NBA’s free agency period starts July 1.
One Twitter posting said, “Can we change the Bronx to LeBronx? Pretty please, at least until July 1.” The mayor’s office happily retweeted it, adding: “Good one!”

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baske...se-scene_N.htmOn Fox Business News on Thursday, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said, "I think Derrick Rose is the man. He's Jason Kidd with a jump shot. I think he'll be a great point guard in the NBA, and he's from Chicago."
When the quote was relayed to Rose, he said, "Wow, that's big. Someone running for president already comparing me to a veteran. I can't let that get to my head. I still have to get out there and play."
Later, Rose's college coach at the University of Memphis, John Calipari, said, "That's why Obama is going to be our next president. He knows his hoops. I'd say that's a fairly accurate assessment.

Even President Obama has an idea where LeBron James should play.
The former Senator from Illinois said through a spokesman that James should join Obama's hometown Chicago Bulls.
"He doesn't want to tamper," senior adviser to the president -- and former Bulls season-ticket holder -- David Axelrod told ESPN.com. "But as a Chicago fan, the president thinks LeBron would look great in a Bulls uniform."
Obama, an avid pickup basketball player, is a diehard White Sox fan and mentioned the Chicago team several times when the Yankees visited the White House last month.
The report says "Obama also filmed a video tribute to Johnny 'Red' Kerr for the beloved Bulls announcer's retirement ceremony in February of 2009."
Obama wasn't even interviewed about this.
He just had his spokesperson do a little nudging

By Jamie Turner
July 30, 2008, 6:47PM
Tony Dejak/Associated PressOnce careful to withhold information about his political or social beliefs, LeBron James made his stance on the presidential race known by donating to Barack Obama's campaign.
LeBron James' boldest statement until now has been his obviously flawed choice in baseball caps. Even then, when the Cavaliers star wore a Yankees hat to an Indians playoff game last year, he only risked the boos and hatred of most of Cleveland.
Now, he's risking his popularity with the nation's Republicans.
James has lavished a little more than 0.1 percent of his 2008-09 salary of $14.4 million on the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, Barack Obama, according to Federal Election Commission records. In June, the Cavaliers star donated $20,000 to the Democratic White House Victory Fund, a joint committee set up by Obama and the Democratic Party for the presidential race
It would really be amazing if Lebron signed with someone else other than the Bulls.
