President Obama made some time this week to meet with the winning coaches of the NBA and NHL. Phil Jackson, coach of the LA Lakers, has met presidents before and won several championships, not only with the Lakers, but with the Chicago Bulls as well. This makes it a little bit interesting, I can imagine. The conversation with Obama, who used to live in Chicago, and the former coach from Chicago. Perhaps Obama said that he wished the coach had remained in Chicago. They probably discussed basketball in detail, since it’s Obama’s favorite sport. Just imagine, you get to talk with the tactical genius behind 10 NBA championships! Among other things, they discussed the triangle offense, a system which has made Kobe and MJ two of the most effective NBA players in the world.
