WASHINGTON -- You learn a lot about people when theyre down, President Barack Obama declared Thursday, and he wasnt talking about an election. Obama saluted the NBAs Cleveland Cavaliers for rallying from behind to defeat the Golden State Warriors and end a Cleveland pro sports title drought stretching back to 1964.Obama honored the Cavs on the South Lawn of the White House, squeezing in another sports champion before he leaves office. He opened with: Thats right. I said world champion and Cleveland in the same sentence.The Cavs came back from a 3-1 deficit to win the championship against a Warriors team that set an NBA record for wins during the regular season.The first team in history to dig themselves out of a hole like that, Obama said. The comeback was remarkable, and you learn about people when theyre down.That comment came shortly after Obama met with Donald Trump, who won the White House race to succeed him after a campaign in which the president declared the businessman unfit.Obama singled out several players for praise, but particularly focused on LeBron James, who won the Most Valuable Player award during the championship series. Obama called James one of the greatest players of all time and said its not just power and speed that make James great, but his unselfishness and work ethic. You saw it in those last three games, the president said.Obama said the Cavs also exemplified a growing generation of athletes who are using their platforms to speak out. He noted, as examples, that Kevin Love has worked to combat sexual assault and James has worked to reduce gun violence.He said the team met earlier Thursday with Attorney General Loretta Lynch and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett to discuss steps the Cavs are taking to help build better relations between law enforcement and the Cleveland community.It is part of a league-wide effort to build stronger communities all across the country, including holding open conversations so we can begin to bridge divides, Obama said.

Derek Jeter Jersey Large . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands. Scotland skipper Greig Laidlaw was left to lament his sides lack of luck after suffering another painful late set-back against Australia.The Scots were hoping to reap some revenge after their controversial exit from last years World Cup at the hands of Michael Cheikas men. But once again Bernard Foley nailed a late kick to break Scottish hearts as his side claimed a 23-22 win.The hosts put out an inexperienced line-up yet their performance contained an encouraging mixture of maturity and verve. Prop Allan Dell and centre Huw Jones were making their first international appearances at Murrayfield, while tighthead Zander Fagerson and flanker Hamish Watson registered their first starts for their country.But Laidlaw admits they did not have the stroke of fortune they required to claim a third win over the Wallabies in seven years.As players we understand where we are, said the captain, who added seven points with his boot.We believe we are so much better and so much more organised. We know exactly what each other is doing and we feel that is starting to come though in our performances.Were pretty much in every single game we play now. Its just about getting that little bit of luck. Everybody needs that bit of luck. One of my kicks clipped the inside of the post. It was the thickness of a lick of paint away from going through. If it had we were probably home and hosed.But unfortunately we just coughed up a try at the end. We felt we were harshly penalised at the eend when John Barclay was on the ball near the end.dddddddddddde feel we are so close but were massively frustrated.The look of disgust on Laidlaws face after referee Craig Joubert wrongly handed Australia a decisive penalty at Twickenham was one of the enduring images of last years World Cup. But the Scots scrum-half preferred not to look back after another harsh loss.That quarter-final is gone. It was a while ago. The pleasing thing for us is that we played so much better than we did in Japan during the summer.Departing head coach Vern Cotter was denied a winning start to his farewell tour. He was frustrated with referee John Laceys display but with seven games left before his Scotland reign ends next summer, the Kiwi was remaining positive.We always come back to the old saying of fine margins. I wouldnt necessarily say the best team won.Im incredibly proud of the players and the way they played that game. There are things we can control and things we cant, so we focus on the things we can. The players played with immense courage and threw themselves at it. I think we didnt get the rub of the green at times.There were eight penalties against us in the second half but only two for us. But as I say that is something we cant focus on. The most important thing for us is to get back to improving performances. Thats what we will do.? ' ' '
