President Barack Obama Sits Courtside for Bulls-Cavaliers Opening Night

The most powerful man in America was in attendance when the Chicago Bulls hosted the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.

But that shouldn't surprise anyone—LeBron James does play for the Cavs, after all.

President Barack Obama, who taught at the University of Chicago Law School for 12 years, was also there to cheer on his beloved Bulls:

Obama also talked to TNT's David Aldridge about Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and the upcoming season:

We know POTUS loves hoops, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that he wanted to catching the game.

Still, it's pretty darn cool.
