Former President Barack Obama congratulated his hometown Chicago Sky on Sunday for winning the first title in franchise history with a Game 4 victory over the Phoenix Mercury.
Obama backed Sky in his post-season run, which put him in 6th place with a .500 regular-season record. It is the first team without a No. 1 or 2 to win the WNBA title.
Candace Parker joined her hometown team last offseason after playing the first 13 seasons of her career with the Los Angeles Sparks. She won a title with Sky in her first season, closing a storybook season.
