The two smartest professional athletes in Ohio.....
Greg Oden and Lebron James support Barack Obama.....Dont forget Tiger Woods

Both Tiger Woods and Lebron James have supported Barack Obama with donations. Greg Oden (from Ohio State, now on the Portland Trailblazers) also endorsed Obama. King James has even campaigned for Obama.

3. I'm not a huge NBA fan anymore, but I did watch the Celts last year in the playoffs.
During the Cavs matchup I saw a bunch of interviews with Lebron, who I had never heard before except for an occasional soundbite sports cliche on ESPN, and he really came across as a classy, mature dude. With more players like that I could be a fan again.

4. Me too, Lebron is a young guy who comes across as much wiser than his years
Young sports fans nationwide are interested in what he says, whereas Brady Quinn and Joe Thomas's endorsement of McCain means nothing except to sad Notre Dame and Browns fans.
