The Dallas Mavericks would like to thank President Obama

for picking the Heat to win the NBA Final.

President Barack Obama isn’t one to shy away from sports and predictions, but he might want a little added security when he next sets foot in the state of Ohio.

The most powerful basketball fan in the world has officially hitched his wagon to the Miami Heat, telling a Cleveland reporter of all people that he thinks Miami will win the NBA Finals.

Not that Obama is a frontrunner or anything, but he made the prediction after the Heat took a 2-1 series lead.

Yup. The Heat got the Obama endorsement and, well…Mavs in 6.

Update: We’ll just go ahead and make this the official Mavs’ gloat and facebook found objects thread.
