    Administration of Barack Obama, 2016 Remarks Honoring the 2016 National Basketball Association Champion Cleveland Cavaliers November 10, 2016 The President. Hello, everybody! Welcome to the White House, and give it up for the World Champion Cleveland Cavaliers! That's right, I said "World Champion" and "Cleveland" in the same sentence. [Laughter] That's what we're talking about when we talk about hope and change. [Laughter] We've got a lot of big Cavs fans here in the house, including Ohio's Governor, John Kasich, and his daughters Emma and Reese. We've got some outstanding Members of Congress that are here. And obviously we want to recognize Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, who put so much of himself into trying to make sure this thing worked. One of the great general managers of the game, David Griffin. And the pride and joy of Mexico, Missouri—[laughter]— Coach Tyronn Lue. I also, before I go any further, want to give a special thanks to J.R. Smith's shirt for showing up. [Laughter] I wasn't sure if it was going to make an appearance today. I'm glad you came. You're a very nice shirt. [Laughter] Now, last season, the Cavs were the favorites in the East all along, but the road was anything but stable. And I'm not even talking about what happened on the court. There were rumors about who was getting along with who, and why somebody wasn't in a picture, and LeBron is tweeting—[laughter]—and this was all big news. But somehow Coach Lue comes in and everything starts getting a little smoother, and they hit their stride in the playoffs.

  • Episode 6: Drazen Petrovic and Basketball’S Cold War
    Death at the Wing Episode 6: Drazen Petrovic and Basketball’s Cold War ⧫ ⧫ ⧫ Back in 1988, the USA Men’s Basketball team did something they almost never did... ARCHIVAL ANNOUNCER: The United States found themselves in a position in the last seven minutes of this game of having to score on almost every possession and they could not. After winning 9 of the last 10 Olympics they competed in, they lost. ARCHIVAL ANNOUNCER: But there’s no time, really, for even a miracle now. And the Soviets are already celebrating. The USA suddenly found itself wearing bronze. It did not go over well. And so, as the dust settled, they decided to do what America does best: get better through hard work, inch by inch, grinding it out… I’m kidding. No, we did the real American thing. ARCHIVAL ANNOUNCER: What may well be the best basketball team ever assembled… ...which is throwing lots of money at something to make even more money. And so, for the next Olympics, they formed a super squad of sorts. No more amateurs. It was time to bend the rules a little bit and bring in the pros. And, of course, bring in Reebok to sponsor it. ARCHIVAL ANNOUNCER: And now, the United States of America. This was the Dream Team. Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan. This wasn’t about winning gold. This was about buying the whole fucking gold mine. Shock and awe. 1 But in Barcelona in 1992, one player in all of the Olympics didn’t get the memo... or fax.

The reason for us providing testimony is that you haven't heard much from the lower level classifications. We feel that this issue of 5A or 6A is really between those schools currently in those levels. We are primarily asking that you leave all schools alone from the 4A level down. If those 83 schools want to go to 5A or 6A then let them. The other issue is where do we cut off the numbers? We prior testimony and prior history from the the past 8 years we feel their is definitely an easy separation between 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A. Mr. Mulkey presented some findings that we felt were very pertinent on what leve you should be affiliated with. Those findings looked at lower level programs offered at a particular school. With that being said we feel the following ADM would be a good representation for the next four year block. 4A: 725 -371 (40 schools) 3A: 370 - 200 (38 Schools) 2A: 199-89 (44 Schools) 1A: 89- (85 schools) If we could do a survey of those 207 schools with these numbers I think you would be surprised. Take the remaining 81 schools with ADM over 726 and decide if you should go 5A or 6A. I do not see how a school with 800 can compete with school of 2500.
