President Barack Obama's second term in office is almost complete, leaving many to wonder what he will do when he leaves office in January. It appears the 44th President might be taking his talents to the NBA.

Press secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday that Obama, an unabashed sports fan, has "discussed" joining an ownership group for an NBA franchise. But Earnest also added that Obama would move forward only "under the right circumstances."

Obama has made no secret of his love of all things Chicago, especially the city's sports teams. Could the Bulls be on his radar one day?
