Kobe Bryant Promotes Obamacare, Says Obama Could Make Lakers Roster
Breitbart Sports ^ | Mar 20, 2014 | staff

Posted on 03/20/2014 11:06:24 AM PDT by bkopto

On The Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday, Kobe Bryant said he thought the Lakers were so bad this year that even President Barack Obama could play for them.

Seriously.

Bryant, who is recovering from multiple injuries, said he got a call from the White House's chief of staff to help the White House promote Obamacare and pitched the Healthcare.gov website while reminding Patrick's listeners that they had until March 31 to sign up. When asked if Obama could play for the struggling Lakers, Bryant replied, "Yes, he could, actually."

"I'm not dissing the current roster that we have," he continued before saying that his comments were more of a "sign of respect" for Obama's basketball skills. Patrick compared Obama to Derek Fisher while Bryant said Obama was a left-handed version of the diminutive Michael Adams before settling on Nate "Tiny" Archibald.

The ONLY thing that matters is...... Hussein is having to ADVERTISE obamacare......

As if *that* isn’t enough.....he announced his brackets, flew to Florida for golf [aka fundraising] while Russia is redrawing the borders of sovereign nations.

God help us!

That makes sense. The Lakers don’t play defense either.

I'm sure Kobe's recent injuries have all been treated by physicians that are paid for via Obamacare, and I'm sure he would be perfectly happy to have whatever care the government told him he could have. Clearly, if a highly sought after sports injury orthopedic surgeon wasn't covered by Obamacare, he would just use someone else...

Kobe’s doctors are top notch, no Obamacare for him or either of these basketball players who promote it..gee I wonder how much they are being paid to promote this awful law..we all know they are being paid millions to promote it, if they loved it so much they would do it for free

Kobe should stick to basketball. Obamacare is worse than the current Lakers.

Good point. The Lakers have the fifth worst record in the NBA at this time. If 0bama were playing for the Lakers the Lakers would get the number one draft pick AND 0bama could hang out with his buddies in Beverly Hills and West LA. What else should 0bama spend his time on? Who cares about World War III erupting in Europe?

Kobe’s first sport was soccer...imagine if he focused on soccer instead of basketball. Could have been as good as Messi.

Wait a second there! His favorite team is the White Sox, even though he can’t name a single player past or present. And he loves ‘Kaminsky Park’ where they play and likes to boo the ‘referees’ there.

When he came through Indiana in 2008 he did the obligatory shoot around. Every Indiana high school team’s student manager has better form than this homo.

He reminds me of “Lamar” from “Revenge of the Nerds.”

Obama could make the roster of last-place Lakers? That’s quite a compliment there, Kobe.

Would Obama’s making the Lakers’ roster take the spotlight off Jason Collins and Michael Sam?

Irony abounds. Obamacare using pitchmen who will NEVER EVER EVER EVER use Obamacare, buy Obamacare, and don’t understand Obamacare.
