James, who campaigned for Obama, arrived for Cleveland's game against the Chicago Bulls wearing a T-shirt with the president-elect's likeness on the front. James stayed home to watch the election returns, and when Obama won over Republican nominee John McCain, the 23-year-old stepped back and watched family members in their 50s and 60s break down in tears. "I asked them, how does it feel for them having gone through what they went through, going through slavery times and segregation times. A lot of people in my family said they would never see a day like this happen. But times have changed. I think it's unbelievable. It's a great day in history."
James recently met Obama when the two appeared on David Letterman's show. "He's an unbelievable guy," James said. "He's very smart and just very cool and collected. It seems like he would never let any situation get to him. I kind of like that in him." James also like the fact that Obama got in a hoop game in the hours leading up to his election. "They say that's a ritual for him, like me coming in early and getting a massage before the game," James said. "It got him prepared. The speech was, wow. If it takes basketball for him to say things like that, then let him do it."
James said he didn't cry during Obama's speech.
