WASHINGTON - The White House says Barack Obama is still hoping basketball star LeBron James will be wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey next season.
After much speculation, James, a two-time MVP with the Cleveland Cavaliers, is set to announce his future NBA plans Thursday night. The Bulls are among those James has met with during his highly anticipated free agency period.
