"I've got to go with the Lakers again," Obama said. "I think Gasol may be the best big man in the league right now. He's different from Dwight Howard, but he's (got) unbelievable footwork, speed, savvy, he's playing magnificently.

"Kobe is the fiercest competitor in the league and they've got what I continue to believe is the best coach in the NBA right now in Phil Jackson, so they're going to be formidable and I think it'll be a tough series. Boston's a veteran club, but the Lakers are looking pretty good."

In other news, the state of Massachusetts will be a red state in the next election.

:D Nice.

Reggie Miller picked the C's in 6 over Laker and with all due respect to Obama, Reggie knows a little bit more about basketball.

With all due respect as a Canadian, shouldn't your president be focusing on things like your economy?

He actually picked Syracuse to win the NCAA championship, even worse.
You are no longer black, or brown, or yellow, or red! You are now GREEN, you are light GREEN, or dark GREEN!

"The Best Big Man in the League" could not prevent the Lakers from going down tonight, I guess.

Why, it only takes about three seconds to read what he said off of the teleprompter that is supposedly always in front of him. It's not like it took him a lot of time out of his day to read that.
