The most powerful person in the world has weighed in on the Michael Jordan/LeBron James/Kobe Bryant debate.

President Barack Obama took some time out of his busy schedule Thursday to answer questions from his Twitter followers, including one asking the famous Chicago sports fan to pick either Jordan, James or Bryant. His answer shouldn’t come as a surprise.

As you can tell from the tweet, though, Jordan wasn’t the only famous basketball player Obama mentioned. Obama, who was answering the questions from McKinley High School in Baton Rouge, La., also brought up LSU’s Ben Simmons, who is expected to be a first-round pick in this year’s NBA draft.

It just so happens Simmons was at the high school, too, and Obama mentioned him again during his speech later that day.

Maybe Simmons could help Obama get ready for the 2017 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game?
