During the Stanford Cardinal men’s basketball team’s game against the UCLA Bruins on Thursday, former NBA player Bill Walton was asked by fellow ESPN broadcaster Dave Pasch about the recent coaching change up at the Los Angeles university.
“What type of characteristics should UCLA look for in their next coach?” asked Pasch, in the wake of Steve Alford’s Monday firing as the head of UCLA’s team.Responded Walton — an alumna of UCLA — bluntly, “Barack Obama.”
“Well you keep saying that but why? Why are you so negative?” asserted Walton. “Why do you just turn down? His brother-in-law [Craig Robinson] coached. I’m sticking with Barack Obama until he says no.”
Speaking to Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show back in 2012, LeBron James said that Obama is “very, very good” on the basketball court.”
