It’s no secret that President Barack Obama is a huge NBA fan. A Chicago native, the POTUS follows the Bulls, and has also made it clear he knows a thing or two about college hoops as well.
With his tenure in the White House set to come to a close in roughly six months, many have been asking what’s next for one of the most powerful people in the world.
Apparently, owning an NBA team is a possibility, according to White House press secretary Josh Earnest. Greg Jaffe of The Washington Post had the scoop, and shared this interesting nugget:
The proclamation came with a lot of caveats: “potentially, if the opportunity arose, under the right circumstances.” Earnest, though, was clear on one point: The president has “discussed” being part of an NBA franchise ownership group.
It appears as if the POTUS is weighing his options, but probably won’t be able to really give it some thought until he’s out of the White House. He has more pressing issues to deal with at the current time, that’s for sure.
