President Barack Obama offered a prescient assessment of the Chicago Bulls on Friday morning, telling ESPN’s Colin Cowherd he believes his home team has what it takes to keep LeBron James from making his fifth consecutive NBA Finals.
"The [Cleveland Cavaliers] are starting to jell," he said, via CBSChicago.com's Cody Westerlund. "I just like [head coach Tom] Thibodeau as a coach. The guy's tough. They play hard. [Joakim] Noah's a fighter. If [Derrick] Rose—even if he doesn't come back to MVP level—if he's playing at an All-Star level, I think the Bulls can beat the Cavs this year."
The former MVP was certainly in All-Star form Friday night, tallying a season-high 31 points in Chicago's 115-106 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers.
