Bulls' Rose gives lowdown on Obama's game

 Staff report

Bulls guard Derrick Rose was among a group of NBA players invited to the White House recently for President Barack Obama's birthday party, and came away with this assessment of the Chief Executive's basketball skills.

"He's left-handed, he's not that quick," Rose told "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on WMVP-AM 1000. "He has his own swag about himself. He plays with a lot of confidence, I'll tell you that.

"It was really fun. He hit a game-winning shot one time. I could have blocked his shot one time, but I didn't want to get kicked out of the White House, so I let him shoot."

Rose likes the Bulls' offseason addition of Carlos Boozer and said he's looking forward to going up against LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the rest of the new-look Miami Heat.

"It's going to be fun," Rose said. "I don't know about everybody else's team, but I think my team is ready for war."

Asked if he'd tried to recruit James to play for the Bulls, Rose said, "Really couldn't get in contact with him. My thing was that if he really wanted to come, he would have come, no matter what. He's grown, he makes his own decisions, and to him, he made the right decision. So everybody got to live with it. He has to live with it."
