Obama: 'Wonderful' story if LeBron stays in Ohio


Recommended Posts

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The president is on the record again about LeBron James -- and this time, the people of Cleveland may be happier about it.

 

 

 

President Barack Obama told CNN on Thursday that it would be a terrific story if the basketball superstar stayed with the Cleveland Cavaliers instead of switching teams as a free agent.

 

Said Obama: "That's a town that has had some tough times." The president said it would be a wonderful statement to Cleveland if James said: "I'm going to make a commitment to this city."

 

The president stuck to his point that James needs to find a winning situation with a good team and coach.

 

But he did not gently nudge James toward the Chicago Bulls, Obama's hometown team, as the president did in an interview last month.
