It was reported Tuesday morning that President Barack Obama is expected to be in attendance for tonight’s season opener between the Bulls and Cavaliers in Chicago.
Cleveland star LeBron James told reporters that’s he’s honored to play in front of POTUS.
“He loves the game of basketball,” James said prior to the team’s shootaround Tuesday morning. “We all know that. It’s an honor for me to be a part of a venue and a spectacle that the president would like to come and watch. It’s an honor for sure.”
Obama, a basketball and Bulls aficionado, last attended a Bulls game back in 2009 when he sat courtside for a game in Washington.
