Hooped Up

The Chicago Bulls are terrible and the Washington Wizards are worse! But when the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama shows up courtside at the Verizon Center to watch them battle. It becomes a historic match up and future Jeopardy question.

Until February 27, 2009, it was 10 years since the last time a President was in attendance for an NBA game. It was also the first time somebody drank an actual glass of beer at a game since probably — ever. Obama received a standing ovation as he entered the arena, delaying the start of the 113-90 thumping his hometown Bulls eventually received and left a few minutes early like any regular fan on the wrong side of a blowout would.

This guy is too awesome!!!
