Lebron Visits President Obama


Lebron James is known as one of the best basketball players in the NBA, and now he will also be known as one of many famous African Americans to visit the first black president. Lebron had to undergo surgery two weeks ago to have a benign growth on his jaw removed, and after fully recovering the NBA's MVP is keeping himself busy. On Monday, Cleveland's All-Star forward and a group of his close friends visited President Barack Obama and were given a tour of the West Wing before attending the U.S. premiere of "More Than A Game," a documentary about the basketball star and his friends' rise to national champions while playing at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio. Lebron contributed to Obama's campaign and first met the nation's No. 1 hoops fan at a talk show taping some time last year. On Tuesday, Lebron and Lil Ms. Pop music star Rihanna celebrated the opening of the Carol's Daughter Hand & Foot Spa in New York.
These public appearances were the first since his five-hour operation at the Cleveland Clinic on June 1. If y'all don know by now that yo can't keep a good man down, you ain't never gonna know.
