Obama's basketball buddies revealed
That's why Lewis asked to play in Obama's regular basketball game. There's so much written about the president and his love of basketball, but precious little is known about the now-legendary pickup games that are played on courts across the Washington D.C. area. Lewis tried to fill in some of the blanks.
He writes of the game like it's a meeting of the basketball Avengers. Everyone is bigger, faster, stronger and younger than 50-year-old Obama. They're mostly former college players, Lewis writes, including one who played point guard at Florida State. The president could get a game that's more his speed, but the "ridiculously challenging" game is the one he wants to play.
Is Obama really hooping it up in a virtual all-star game every week? Did Lewis oversell the talent on the court? Or did the White House use ringers knowing a Vanity Fair writer would be there?
Yes, yes, and (probably) yes.
