Shumpert spellbound by presidential powers, not podium

Iman Shumpert clarified Friday that his look of bewilderment while the presidential podium was moved during the Cleveland Cavaliers' White House visit was not based on the portability of the lectern.

Instead, it was the fact that President Barack Obama was able to summon a group to move the item so quickly.

"He said 'team' and three guys were over there," Shumpert said, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. "He said 'team' and that shit was gone."

So it goes for arguably the most powerful office in the world. Another thing Obama and his successor Donald Trump have instant command of: 7,100 nuclear warheads.
