Obama: 'Wonderful' if LeBron commits to Cleveland
Share This Story
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.
