LOS ANGELES (AP)—Barack Obama sidestepped picking a winner in Sunday’s NBA Finals game, but the basketball aficionado is ready to take a firm stand if he makes it to the White House.
“I hear there’s a bowling alley and obviously that hasn’t gone too well,” Obama told comic Jimmy Kimmel in a satellite interview from Philadelphia on Sunday. “So we’re getting rid of the bowling alley and replacing it with a basketball court in the White House.”
Obama was referring to his disastrous attempt at bowling a few weeks before Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary in April. The party’s presumptive nominee for president is much more at ease on the basketball court.
Obama was appearing on Kimmel’s pregame show before ABC’s broadcast of Game 5 of the NBA Finals. The Illinois senator diplomatically avoided picking a favorite between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics: “I’m a Bulls fan,” said the Chicagoan.
Not only am I excited about the prospect of pickup games in the White House with Mr. Obama, but the homie is a post-Jordan era Bulls fan... Dont let me down in November people!
