Teacher, when are these silly old men going to leave?
President Obama: "Phil, I need Kobe on the Senate floor tomorrow at 4:58 p.m. to seal this tax cut deal."
Phil Jackson: "Why Kobe?"
President Obama: "Well Phil, Congress is like your team. They don't perform until the last two minutes of a session. I need Kobe to slam this tax deal through for me and bring home a win in the final seconds."
I may be the greatest basketball palyer ever but I'm not Barak Obama 🙁
Now that's a genuine smile!
Young women work while men . . . well, you get the idea.
Phil: I see that sports and politics are your weakest points!
Phil: Promise you will not run off half way; I am ready to hold on the hand shake
Mr President: Ok Ok (smiling)
Anssuya, Singapore
Well Mr President, if your game is as tight as your handshake, next season we could have you replace that starter over there!!
Oh wow...i knew i should have worn my heels!
Notice the excitement on the faces of these students, as they open their basketball tube socks. Don't worry kids, Oprah will make it up to you, and send you all to Disney World!
President O'Bama laughs as he finds out Phil works as a double in the off season for David Letterman!
Seriously Mr. President, let go of my championship ring.
Phil, that's some grip! Now I know why Kobe played with a broken finger last year!
HEY BARACK!! CARE TO TAKE OVER KOBY'S CONTRACT.
Kobe: Huh! Game-fixing is that easy?
Coach Jackson: "Those Obamacare packages are a bit too small, don't you think?"
Coach Jackson:" Do I see smoke coming outta those ears?"
Phil: "You're a good sport Mr. President, considering out of the adults in this room, you are the 3rd most popular, lowest paid and least likely to have a job in two years."
Coach Jackson:" Why are you "duckin"?!?!
Let us shoot few hoops before the senate vote.
Please, Please go back to the Bulls. I'll sweeten the deal and make your salary tax free.
Girl in the back: "Yeah all y'all just stay and stand there lookin' pretty for the camera while I be doin' all the work."
Kobe: "Yeah, well how else do you think I've won MVP?"
That is a great idea, Phil. Let's put a certificate in these boxes for "one free tax cut for the rich" and send it to all the Republicans for Christmas! Take that Fox News!
PHIL:"Sir, I know Kobe Bryant,and you are no Kobe Bryant!"
Phil ; keep your elbow away from my lips.
How hilarious would it be if we sent half of these care packages to the rich?
I thought you said you would have at least one good idea inside Kobe's box?
President Obama: I'm sorry the secret service didn't let Jack Nicholson in, Phil. But, hey...I kept Biden out.
careful now, your grip is a bit tight..dont worry,I'v placed the bets..we're all set!
Phil Jackson: Clammy hands, Mr. President.
Pres. Obama:) Whew! Thats some grip you got there Phil!
Frustrated with his current White House staff, Barack Obama decides to shake things up and replace them all with Lakers players.
So Phil, how do I become a true "team player"?
Kobe Bryant: Did he just say the Phil Jackson Bulls were better than the Phil Jackson Laker's?
So Coach, you promise. I can give you a call in two years for a try out for the team.
so Phil, what's the chance of you scoring me a couple of Bulls tickets, my usual source( Blaggo)
is out of pocket heh,heh
You gotta get back in the game and score, Barack , as there just seems to be a lot of dribbling lately.
An elbow to the side is OK, just no elbow to the lips!
Dribble! Pass! Shoot! Filibuster..
Barack Obama strikes up a new stimulus package deal that will bring the Lakers to Washington and send the Wizards to L.A.
Kobe Bryant (smiling at the president): I don't think I would want him in the locker room around Ron Artest.
Phil: If you get better at the game, I may have a spot for you around this time in 2012.
Kobe is to the Laker's what Hillary is to your administration? Yes, I understand your analogy, Mr. President.
Ok! Ok! Uncle!!!! You can shoot around on my court!!!
So if this president thing fall though in 2 years consider yourself my next bench warmer
Phil, could you slip me the number for Kobe's PR guy?
President Obama (fawning): Mr. Jackson...you're the greatest....when you were in Chicago...here give me a hug...
Well gee Phil, at least the kids are shorter than me.
President Obama is faltering under the firm handshake of coach Jackson!
Phil Jackson (diplomatically): I sorry Mr. President but the First Lady – under NBA rules – is not eligible for a spot on the Lakers.
