President Barack Obama, a Chicago Bulls fan, high-fives 5-year-old Nick Aiello, a Wizards fans, during Washington’s 113-90 win Friday night.
WASHINGTON – Caron Butler implored the officials not to start the game until a certain special spectator reached his front-row seat.
And when President Barack Obama finally arrived Friday night, delaying the tipoff by a few minutes, Butler and the rest of the Washington Wizards set out to send a message to the First Fan by beating his Chicago Bulls.
“He truly is a die-hard Bulls fan,” Butler said. “Hopefully we can convert him a little bit.”
