Would you rather be president or LeBron?

On Fox 8 news this morning, a clip was shown in which a reporter asks LeBron James what he thinks of a recent statement by Barack Obama that he'd rather be LeBron than president. I can't find any mention of it online, but regardless, it gives you some idea just how big this Cleveland athlete is.

And he showed why he's a leading MVP candidate again yesterday, dominating the fourth quarter in what became a 95-86 win against the Chicago Bulls. Starting with the game tied at 83 and 3:10 to go,
LeBron scored the next six points, including one of his patented spectacular, unbelievable, split-the-defense dunks.

LeBron wound up with 37 points, which is certainly an MVP-caliber performance. Kobe Bryant outdid him yesterday, though, going for 52 in an overtime win. But whatever; LeBron seems to genuinely care more about winning than any individual accolades, and we won, so that's the important thing.
