? Kiah was there - didn't recognize her at first, but back row on audience right of Butler.Somebody from an NYC team wasn't there...




Yeah I was wondering if Kiah shrank a couple of inches!Nice! Ladies look great! Butler towers over Stewart and Stokes - must be her shoes!
Yup, Butler has grown:

Of course it was subdued - Stef wasn't there. Though Obama did say "no bunny ears" twice, so she definitely left an impression on the president.It was great to see the ceremony. President Obama seemed a little more subdued this year. Maybe, it's becoming so routine. Butler looked about 6'9" tall. I expect to see the team at the White House next year.year
The President's "no bunny ears" statement was probably included in the script at the express instruction of Chris Dailey.Of course it was subdued - Stef wasn't there. Though Obama did say "no bunny ears" twice, so she definitely left an impression on the president.
But she does look like 6'10", may be with high heel...Just my estimate from the pics![]()
Not being political at all, but Obama is the best president I have seen at these championship events - he is just so relaxed in the company of athletes and genuinely seems to be enjoying himself. Humorous and relaxed, and presidential at the same time is not an easy balance.
(Given the nature of political life these days, it is no wonder that an hour spent with a championship team is a welcome 'vacation')
Doesn't hurt that he's an athlete who really really really enjoy basketballNot being political at all, but Obama is the best president I have seen at these championship events - he is just so relaxed in the company of athletes and genuinely seems to be enjoying himself.
