On Monday, the White House held its annual Easter Egg Roll. However, with past and present NBA players, like Dikembe Mutombo, John Wall and Paul Pierce, in attendance, there was also a little game of pickup basketball. "It was fun. He's got the weirdest jump shot release but he showed off today," Wall said. "He hit two game-winners.”

According to J-Wall, who was on The President's team, Obama knocked down a game-winner and then told Pierce, “’I'm clutch. I'm clutch.'" A few hours ago, J. Michael of CSNWashington.com reported that Pierce didn't practice today because he was "sick." Apparently, getting schooled by the President of the United States isn't a good enough reason to miss a practice, huh?
