Yup, President Obama got LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and other NBA all-stars together, along with legendary retired ballers the likes of Bill Russell and Magic Johnson for a nice little 2 hour game, which entertained wounded troops and participants in the White House mentoring program. Oh-- and College player Maya Moore of the Connecticut Huskies women's team also played. 'Cause you know Obama is an equal opportunist!
Afterward, some of the players joined Obama and friends for a barbeque at the White House-- events which capped off his birthday week. Reporters were shut out of the gym while the President balled, and when questioned why they were told Barack just wanted to play. We heard that! Gotta love him. [Huff Po]
