You could mount a pretty convincing argument that by winning the title last year, Kobe Bryant cemented his legacy as one of the ten best players of all time. But in addition to winning basketball immortality, Kobe and the Lakers earned the right to a sitdown with none other than President Obama. Pretty cool bonus.
Lakers To Meet Obama This Afternoon (Kardashians Take The White House!)

↵That’s an impossibly perfect juxtaposition of Lamar Odom’s smiling, sorta-famous wife, Khloe Kardashian—indisputably the Monica Lewinsky of the Kardashian clan—and none other than Bubba himself! A match made in heaven, really.
↵Note to the Lakers: No victory cigars, please.
