To all Lakers fans and Obama fans, here’s some really great news...the Lakers met with President Obama at the white house! President Barack Obama honored the team on Monday, January 25, 2010 in the east room. They had a nine minute ceremony with compliments from Obama himself, along with an Illinois senator, who enjoyed meeting Coach Phil Jackson. But Kobe Bryant didn’t think that Obama would be a Lakers fan. During the visit, there were tons of laughs and smiles. After the ceremony, they gave Obama his own jersey that said his last name on the back and Number 1 on the back that he displayed and a basketball with all their signatures! Unfortunately, one of them had the flu and couldn’t come. So, that’s the story of an amazing team being honored by an awesome president.
