US President Barack Obama thinks NBA superstar LeBron James would fit in 'pretty well' with the Chicago Bulls.
Obama said in an interview with TNT that his hometown Chicago seems like the perfect fit for 'King' James.
"You know, like I said, I don't want to meddle," Obama said.
"I will say this: [Derrick] Rose, Joakim Noah, it's a pretty good core. You know, you could see LeBron fitting in pretty well there."
"I think that the most important thing for LeBron right now is actually to find a structure where he's got a coach that he respects and is working hard with team-mates who care about him and if that's in Cleveland, then he should stay in Cleveland.
"If he doesn't feel like he can get it there, then someplace else."
Obama compared LeBron's situation to that of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, who didn't win an NBA title until their teams built great support around them.
"It wasn't until you got that framework around you that you could be a champion.
"Same thing happened with Kobe [Bryant]. You know, I think that, first with Shaq [O'Neal] then later with [Pau] Gasol, you know, he's gotten that sense of a team around him and I think LeBron hasn't quite been able to get that yet."
