Kids say the darndest things ... to NBA stars.

Today, several Los Angeles Lakers players skipped The White House and visited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Washington with President Obama to receive their accolades in recognition of their 2010 NBA Championship.

After the ceremony, several children, who made care packages for wounded soldiers with the sports stars, had a lot to say at the event -- but not about basketball.

Child: "How do you get so tall?
Lamar Odom: "Doing your homework."

Eight-Year-Old girl: "I watch 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians.'"
Lamar Odom: (Silent smile.)

The Lakers visited the White House after winning last year's title and also held a basketball clinic for local students there, but this time President Obama said he thought he'd put them to work since he joked that some of the team's players, like Kobe Bryant, have been at the White House so many times that they could give their own tours.

Coach Phil Jackson, and players Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol participated in the workshop.
