President Obama is a big fan of professional basketball, and was even in attendance on opening night to see his favorite team, the Chicago Bulls, take on LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He's followed the Bulls closely, so when he assesses what he's seeing these days out of Derrick Rose -- as he did in a recent interview with GQ -- it's worth paying attention.
This isn't exactly a revelation, because with the constant injury issues Rose has been dealing with, it's been tough for him to string together enough games to truly get his rhythm back.

Q: Who’s more untradable, Derrick Rose or Jay Cutler?
A: [pause] Oh, I think Rose still has more upside. Remember, Rose is still awfully young.
Q: So you haven’t given up on Rose?
