Chicago Bulls — Barack Obama

Ever since he left his office as President of the United States in early 2017, Barack Obama has been somewhat quiet. After eight long, hard years of being the most powerful man in the world, Obama has been enjoying his life out of the spotlight.

He has been attending concerts, going on vacation, and presumably, watching basketball.

Set aside politics and Obama always related to basketball fans thanks to a shared love of the sport. Every March, Obama would bring basketball fans to their televisions to watch him fill out an NCAA bracket.

Obama loves the NBA, too. After serving in the Illinois State Senate for over six years and filling the state’s Senator seat for nearly four years, Obama got attached to the local Chicago Bulls.

The former president makes sure people know where his fandom lies even when he’s not at games, however.

Over halfway through finishing an NBA-record-setting 73-9 regular season, the Warriors visited Obama in DC to be honored for winning the previous season’s championship. Obama, of course, made sure to note that just one of the Warriors was apart of the NBA’s greatest team — 1995-96 Bull Steve Kerr.

The Bulls have a long way to go before they return to the Warriors level of competitiveness, but we know Obama will be there the whole way watching it through.
