Former President Barack Obama congratulated Chicago Sky on his first WNBA title

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.
