Former US President Barack Obama hit a smooth looking jumper on his way out of a gym during a campaign trail for Democratic nominee Joe Biden. The noted NBA fan also talked some trash.
"THAT'S WHAT I DO!"

Barack Obama is pretty good at basketball. The lefty can certainly hold his own on the hardwood.
One of the reasons the NBA was able to complete the 2020 playoffs at Walt Disney World is because of Obama. He spoke with LeBron James, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook after the Milwaukee Bucks boycotted their playoff game against the Orlando Magic following the Jacob Blake shooting.
Several NBA players were prepared to stop the playoffs since Blake was the latest unarmed Black man to be shot by the police. Obama, though, urged the players to keep playing. The former POTUS also told James and Paul to use their platform to come up with tangible solutions that will empower the Black community.
James and Golden State Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry are endorsing Joe Biden in the 2020 election as well. As a matter of fact, it's safe to say the entire NBA community is going to vote for Biden because of Donald Trump's beef towards players.
Obama will always be popular in the league due to his love of the game and the things he stands for.
