Being the United States president can be pretty overwhelming. Fortunately for the 44th U.S. President Obama, had basketball to turn to relieve himself of some of the stress. ...Obama played and he played without any reservations.
"they didn't adopt any "presidential rules," and he paid for it dearly one time as someone caught him on the mouth and gave him a busted lip.
"There ain't no presidential rule?" Stak chimed in.
"I got the scars to prove it," Obama bragged.
The affable U.S. president said hoops was as much a part of his schedule as meeting diplomats from other countries.
"We had a tradition on election days—you had to play. So, in 2016, we played on Election Day at Fort McNair, and I was on fire. One of those days where I was raining down threes and had these spin moves," he narrated.
"Ten years ago was the last time I ran a full-court game."
"We saw you the day after you got hit in the mouth and had the stitches," Barnes stated.
"So this is proof, by the way, that they didn't take it easy on me," Barack responded. "It was Thanksgiving weekend. You were all looking down, and I'm like (mimics covering his blood-covered mouth). And I had to speak that weekend. You could still see the caterpillar right on my lip."
"And I had all the pictures—the three-picture sequence—framed. I signed it to this congressional staffer. I think his name was Ray," Obama shared. "I wrote: 'To the only man who ever assaulted the president and got away with it.'"
Obama had his fair share of supporters and detractors. However, one thing is for certain: the basketball world truly loved and respected him because he was somebody who had a genuine love and passion for the game.

“affable” is not the “a” word I would use to describe him.
Michelle was heard to mutter: “Don’t ask him about any woman who gave Barack a fat lip. cause I don’t know nothing about it!”
The Busted lip excuse lufted him off the hook when the presidential telepwompter threw the word ‘superfluous’ on him and he did not know what to do with it. Oh how he wascute “ you try that with a busted lip” he quipped.
The so called news would have Dan Qualed our President for much less.
Well, it is pretty hard to drive straight off a bent tee...
“Enough about you, let’s talk about me.”
I’ve seen him shoot baskets, he aint no Larry bird.
Big Mike was involved.
ffab = ssho
LOL!
OH PULLEEZE
Umm, Teddy Roosevelt lost an eye in a White House boxing match.
couldn’t throw a ball across home plate, down a lane when bowling and missed shot after shot in front of school children.
The only hook he never missed was when he was golfing....
What an athlete.
If he played basketball hangman, he’d be the one drawing the stick figure with crayons....
Gee... MY President was SHOT you pansy.
Staffer: “What’s that?!?”
Bronco: “… Got it playing ball with the guys.”
Staffer: “… Brigette just scratches people.”
Aww… Ya beat me to it!
LOL! I’m late to the party again!
Zackly.
Video or it never happened.
No way he was “raining down threes” with that form.
