Rockets forward Shane Battier received a text message from President Barack Obama after the team’s Game 4 win over the Lakers.
According to a Houston television station, Obama sent Battier the message through Reggie Love, one of the president’s aides and a former teammate of Battier’s at Duke.
“Through Reggie, he sent me a message that said good job leading the guys in the face of adversity,” Battier told FOX 26 Sports. “It was pretty cool. Not your garden variety text message.
“It’s great that we have a sports fanatic in the White House who appreciates competition. For the leader of the free world to acknowledge your leadership, it’s pretty cool.”
