Obama lauds Lakers
Just weeks after splitting his lip in a pick-up basketball game, President Barack Obama Monday resisted the temptation to shoot hoops with the stars of the NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers.
But Obama congratulated Kobe Bryant and his Lakers teammates on their NBA championship season last year, as he gathered the stars at a Washington Boys and Girls club.
He also spent time assembling care packages for wounded US troops with key Lakers players, including Lamar Odom, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher and Ron Artest, before addressing the complete team, along with coach Phil Jackson in a gym.
