Obama Was Out Here Hooping With WNBA All-Stars
Former president traded his suit for some gym shorts and got buckets with the best.
Barack Obama stepped on the court during WNBA All-Star Weekend and actually ran it with some of the league's elite players. No ceremonial first pitch energy—homie was actually playing, getting in the paint, moving around. That's a different vibe than what you usually see from presidents at these events.
The Shade Room captured the whole thing on video, so if you want to see it play out, head over there and watch how it went down. Seeing a former sitting president genuinely locked in on the court with professional athletes is something you don't get every day. Whether he was holding his own or getting cooked by actual WNBA talent—that's what the footage will tell you.
It's cool to see that level of access and participation at All-Star Weekend. These events are supposed to celebrate the game and bring people together, and that's exactly what happened.
