London 2012 Olympics: President Barack Obama hails 1992 'Dream Team' over current US basketball stars Obama, an avid basketball fan, offered his opinion as he got a close-up preview of the US team, which struggled during much of an exhibition game against Brazil before putting their opponents away with an 80-69 win. Obama and vice president Joe Biden were greeted by chants of "USA, USA," as they took their seats at courtside. The president then had a couple of awkward moments to deal with when he and his wife were picked out on the "Kiss Cam," an in-house video on a giant screen that encourages couples to kiss. They initially refused to comply, drawing loud boos from the crowd, but when the camera again focused on them near the end of the game, Obama put his arm around his wife and drew her in for a kiss. On the court, the US team, who are favourites to win gold in London, fought back from 10 points down in the first quarter before gaining control in the second half. James, the recent recipient of the NBA's most valuable player award, led the scorers with 30 points. Video: Dream Team take Barcelona by storm
