Former US President Barack Obama is currently promoting the upcoming inauguration of the Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center, which is scheduled to be inaugurated on June 19. To promote this, the 44th US President posted an extremely hilarious video on X featuring none other than Anthony Edwards, which ended in a challenge to ANT.

Obama said that he would like the second head-to-head game between the two to be played on their home court after the Presidential Center opens. The Minnesota Timberwolves talisman, in turn, posted an indifferent response to the challenge on Twitter.

“In a minute OG,” he wrote, apparently promising to make an appearance at the Obama Presidential Center as well, as was also suggested in the original clip.

In it, Obama can initially be seen trying to shoot a clip before running out of the house to find Edwards.

“I can’t believe I’m still dealing with this. Oh, you want some of this,” he says, and the two proceed to play a game of basketball.

“I see what’s happening with your jumpshot,” ANT claimed, before Obama referenced an old clip in which ANT promised to be ‘the truth’.

“I remember you told me you’re true. I’m not sure you’ve got the range. It’s the money, oh come on,” he says when his shot bounces off the rim. Obama then promised to ‘fix things’.

When Obama asks Edwards a direct question, the two proceed to share a hilarious moment.

“What do you call a person who doesn’t mind losing?”

“A sore loser,” he replies before promising that the next game will be at the Obama Presidential Center.

“The next one will be on my home court, the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago. We’re going to open the Obama Presidential Center to all visitors this summer, even Anthony Edwards,” he said.

Needless to say, with Edwards, who is currently out due to injury, also promising to attend the event, fans can expect another showdown between the two icons.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker earned another individual accolade after helping Team Stars win the title in the All-Star Game at the Intuit Dome on Sunday.

The 29-year-old Booker was the oldest member of Team Stars, which featured the league’s top young players, including Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards, Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey and Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren.

During their game against Team World, Booker showed his experience, although in a different way.

Nikola Jokic lost control and may have collided with former President Barack Obama, who was enjoying the game outside the court. Luckily, Booker lovingly pushed Jokic out of the way, bringing a smile to Obama’s face. Booker patted Obama before the hug.

On Instagram, Booker gave a clever explanation of his smart move.

“Secret Service,” the Suns star wrote.

Fans were curious about Booker’s post.

“D-Book for President,” @vonn.2skii said.

“BHM (Black History Month) brownie points,” @d_rench added.

“Next ad! This wasn’t a coincidence. Fits perfectly with the Book2 campaign,” @mizterkool suggested.

“Why are you so different, Book?” asked @thebogoshow.

@darlingnikki0616 commented, “Obama was about to drop the ball ????❤️❤️.”

@austinfritts1 posted, “Top notch security.”

NBA legend Rip Hamilton also reacted, posting four fire emojis.

Obama was among the special guests at the All-Star Game. He also shared a moment with Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell, who plays for Team Stripes. He even humorously roasted NBA icon Reggie Miller during an interview.

Obama is quite familiar with Booker, as he spent time with Team USA before competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Plus, the former president is quite a basketball fan, so he definitely knows the NBA’s biggest stars.

Now that all the celebrations are over, President Obama put out The NBA opened an invitation on Instagram to attend the inauguration of its Presidential Center in June.

“That’s about the limit of my game these days,” Obama posted. “But everyone is welcome to play Home Court when we open the Obama Presidential Center this June.”

The Obama Presidential Center is about to open on Chicago’s south side. Among the facilities provided by the center will be a full-length NBA regulation-style basketball court. Obama is known to be an avid basketball fan. In 1979, he helped lead Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii to the state championship.

As president, he hosted pick-up games at the White House with the participation of NBA players including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. Additionally, ESPN hosted “Bracketology” at the White House, where the President filled out his brackets during the NCAA Tournament.

Obama recently revealed his all-time starting lineup. This included his friends Steph Curry, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Hakeem Olajuwon.

In 2021, Obama became a strategic partner for NBA Africa. He is also a big fan of the Chicago Bulls and appeared as a “Chicago resident” in The Last Dance in 2020.

A host of celebrities and celebrities were at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Sunday to watch the NBA All-Star Game. They included former President Barack Obama, who is widely known as a basketball fanatic.

Growing up in the Windy City, Obama watched Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls build a dynasty in the 1990s. To this day, even as the Bulls have struggled to regain their lost prestige, Obama remains an avid follower of the NBA.

During the NBA All-Star Game, Reggie Miller asked him if he had a favorite memory of the Bulls dynasty. Obama, always quick-witted, had perfect response.

“I always enjoyed watching us beat Indiana (Pacers),” Obama said, taking aim at Miller’s team.

“Although I will say that no one scared me more than Reggie Miller with a potential three-point shot at the end of the game. Even though you outran Michael in that one game.”

Reggie Miller: “Do you have a favorite moment from your time in Chicago during the ’90s?”

– Awful Announcement (@awfulaannouncement) 15 February 2026

Obama was referring to Game 4 of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and Bulls, in which Miller buried the game-winning three-pointer. Miller pushed Jordan on his inbounds play to get free and get the ball. Pacers leveled the series 2-2.

The no-call remains one of the most controversial moments in NBA history. To some, this was a smart move by Miller at a critical juncture, while others claimed it was a blatant offensive foul.

The Bulls won the series 4–3 and ultimately captured their sixth title.

Now, is there any way to pit Obama and Miller in a shooting competition during halftime at next year’s NBA All-Star Game?
