Among the remarkable list of athletes playing at Ft. McNair in Washington, D.C., were LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Derek Fisher, Chris Paul, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, Chauncey Billups, Grant Hill, Derrick Rose and Bill Russell. Kobe Bryant was on hand but did not play.
A few of the president's buddies from Chicago and Hawaii, in town for a week-long birthday celebration, also took part.
The group played in front of “wounded warriors,” U.S. troops injured in the line of duty and participants in the White House mentoring program.
With his wife and two daughters away, the president has done a lot of hanging out this weekend. And the activities have been pretty macho. He played golf Saturday with buddies at Andrews Air Force Base and he’ll enjoy a cookout on the south lawn of the White House late Sunday.
