The First Fan. No, really.

 The President of the United States has accepted an invite to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals in New York, and, listen, the Blob is fine with that. Anything that takes Fearless Leader away from policy decisions is aces high with me.

And, OK, so that was snarky. This, however, is not: At least F.L. is legit.

He's a New Yorker, for one thing, and as such has lived and (mostly) died with the Knicks for a long time. According to NBA commish Adam Nosferatu Silver, Fearless Leader used to regularly attend the NBA Draft in Madison Square Garden, and once even had a cameo in an NBA promotional video.

So, yeah. He's a Knicks fan with receipts, as the current lingo goes.

Not gonna lie. I find that refreshing.

I find it refreshing because when politicians and legislators make forays into Sportsball World, it generally ends poorly. John Kerry, when he was running for president in 2004, famously said "How about those Buckeyes?" in an Ohio-Michigan border enclave that turned out to be heavily pro-Wolverines. Hillary Clinton, a lifelong Cubs fan, donned a Yankees cap when she was running for office in New York. Numerous other examples exist.

Donald John "Do What We Say Or We'll Bomb You Back To The Stone Age" Trump is not one of them, so good on him. What's semi-hilarious about that, though, is it puts him in the same company with his No. 1 hate-fetish Barack Obama, which surely must grind his gears during his nightly lunacy fits.

Obama, see, is a Chicagoan to the bone, and a  full-blooded White Sox fan. Never has pretended to be anything but. Never tried to curry favor with the northsiders by claiming to be a Cubs fan, too.

Just like Fearless Leader -- whose unhealthy obsession with Obama is well-documented, and springs from the fact Obama is, well, smarter, more grounded and just generally a better human being.

Also, Obama once gently needled F.L. at the correspondents dinner. Opened a festering wound in F.L.'s Hindenburg ego that apparently never has healed.

Anyway, kudos to the guy for being an actual First Fan. They're in tall cotton right now, Knicks fans. Their guys went out to San Antonio and stole Game 1 of the Finals, 105-95, closing out the game with an 11-0 run.

Or as Fearless Leader might put it: Greatest game EVER. You can't believe how great it was. Very, very great.
