WATCH: LeBron at White House: ‘Mama, I made it’
LeBron’s free throw jitters are a well-spoofed fact, but you’ve never seen the guy as nervous as he was when he had the chance to hang with the president on Monday. Standing before fellow Miami Heat players as they celebrated their 2012 NBA championship with a White House invite, the goofy-spectacled forward appeared at a loss for words.
“Am I supposed to say something?” he asked President Obama. Upon getting the green light, the three-time NBA MVP turned gleeful, shouting to his mates: “We in the White House right now!” He also gave a holler to Mom (“Mama, I made it”) before turning it over to Dwyane Wade. Nice to see an NBA megastar so humble.
