Posted by: Baller-in-Chief in Articles, Basketball“Abe believed in Washington, D.C. when many others didn’t – putting his own fortune on the line to help revitalize the city he loved,” the president said in a statement. “He was committed to the teams he guided, generous to those who needed it most, and as loyal to the people of D.C. as they were to him.”
Obama called Pollin “a giant in the world of professional sports and someone I was proud to call a friend.”
