Lazy Sunday

Four-Four with Rose and Noah. Talkin' straight Chi-City no doubt.

Yesterday Barack Obama did something pretty cool. In an event honoring wounded soldiers, the President played hoops with a makeshift dream team. The roster, selected according to the big guy's famous biases, included LeBron, Wade, Melo, Bill Russell, Magic Johnson, and of course those two guys from Chicago.* Of course, being able to witness this game in all of it's good-natured glory would be any basketball fan's dream. If it had been part of the Nike World Basketball Festival tickets would have sold out a week ago. If LeBron had organized it, it would have garnered twenty million television viewers. Instead, Big Barry shut the press out of the gym, emphasizing that this event was to be seen only by those it was organized for, the troops. 

Still, we hope some photos surface, even if they're something Malia took with her camera phone.

* It was a hell of a weekend for Joakim Noah. After getting to hoop with the Prez his agent announced that he's working on a hefty deal to extend Noah's contract with the Bulls.
