"Coach" Obama?

Partial transcript of an exchange between LeBron James and President Obama during the Heat's visit to the White House.

Lebron James: Am I supposed to say something?

President Obama: You can if you want. It's your world, man.

Lebron James: On behalf of myself and my teammates, we just want to thank you - to piggyback what Spo said, for the hospitality, for allowing us to be, I mean, in the White House. I mean, we're in the White House. I mean, and Coach said (gesturing towards President Obama), the Prez said this real casual. So I mean, we're kids from Chicago and Dallas, Texas and Michigan and Ohio and South Dakota ... Miami. And we're in the White House right now. This is like, hey, mama, I made it.

when it comes down to a fundamental moral core, he's one of the few from the current batch of politicians that got one.

And thank you for the welcome.
