Let's hope it's not the ultimate jinx!

:lobt::lobt::lobt::lobt:+:lobt:Would not be surprised at all to see the 2011-2012 NBA Champion Spurs visit the White House; and President Obama, as a past collegiate player and big fan, does surely know a thing or two about basketball and probably much more than many of the hacks on the major media outlets.

I thought he'd be a Lakers fan, cause they spend like there's no tomorrow.

Actually, Buss is a stingy bastard from what I've heard. Sterling has more cash than he does.

If Buss is stingy, he has a funny way of showing it. $87.8M on salaries this year plus however much luxury tax ($18M?), and their payroll has topped $90M several times in the past.

And :lol @ calling Buss stingy but insinuating that Sterling isn't. Sterling's one of the biggest penny-pinchers out there. Example: hiring Del Negro because the Bulls still owed him money, even though he's a terrible coach.

John Carroll has some solid takes, you should read him sometime.

[balldontlie]

:rolleyes he also thinks Michelle looks terrific, what does that tell you?

Sterling is cheap but that's a horrible example. When a previously fired coach gets hired by a new team his old team doesn't have to pay him the duration of what they still owe.

That's why Terry Porter didn't take any assistant coaching jobs while the Suns were paying off the rest of his salary.

Obama to Stern: " make sure they win "

[TimmehC]

The ultimate jinx.

[DMX7]

He's just trying to sure up the hispanic vote -- truly shameless.

I thought the Bulls would pay what the Clippers didn't. Like if VDN was set to make $2M this year, and the Clippers offered him $500k, then the Bulls would pay the rest. From VDN's point of view it doesn't matter, because he's getting the same $2M no matter what.

Mitt's Celtics aren't getting past the Sixers, that's for damn sure.

As out of touch with ball as he is with the nation tbh

[Bynumite]

Obama really showing big support for the gay community. First supporting same sex marriage, now he's praising the spurs :downspin:

Beast mode off. Now go get fucked by Porkins and Ibaka.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Everything obama touches turns to shit. I'm going to stop watching the playoffs now

[Proxy]

The condescending remarks about Obama by people who think they know anything are rather humorous.

[DMX7]

His college basketball picks haven't been bad at all.

[Jacob1983]

Did Bush ever tell us his picks for the NBA playoffs? I mean seriously, how big is Obama's ego? The man goes on The View to talk about the most important issue in the history of humanity which is gay marriage and then gives us insight on the NBA playoffs. How does this guy do it?

Sure, Bush's ego was probably huge too but at least he wasn't as much of a media and attention whore like Obama is. Obama seriously still wants people to fuckin like him. Bush was hated by millions and didn't give a fuck. Bush was a joke of a president but I respected him for his whole "I don't give a fuck" attitude.

Texas is a Republican state. Great re-election strategy by my Democratic Commander in Chief tbh. :lol

Are you a tool in real life? You don't have to answer publicly (PMs work). :downspin:

[boutons_deux]

Jackoff1983, like PussyEater, a pathetic ankle-biter.

[YoMamaIsCallin]

Aw come on. He said he doesn't have a pick, because he's still as a fan getting over the Bulls being knocked out. Then he named the Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, and Heat as contenders. No biggie.

The fact that he named the Spurs and said they're "looking very good" shows he's paying attention, that's all.

[cheguevara]

at least he did not say my son would look like Kwahi tbh

[Spurs da champs]

What a communist. :rolleyes

[8FOR!3]

Texas is still too frat of a state to be wish washed by Obama. They're still voting republican and that scrub still isn't going to get reelected.

Bush was a dumbass! He just liked to start wars and not pay for them! Run up the credit card and destroy the economy! He was a disgrace to our country!

[Mr. Body]

An Obama thread is like dragging a dollar through a trailer park. lol

[Jacob1983]

Obama hasn't done shit. He is a clone of Bush. If you don't see that, you're a fucking koolaid drinker.

And I'm probably gonna vote for Gary Johnson tbh.

[Budkin]

Can we move this thread into Politics? That's the place to flame about this shit.
