Obama’s dream team: Hoops for the Troops and a little BBQ

By Sue Green

The wife’s out of town, you’ve got some time on your hands, so why not hold a little informal basketball game!

That’s what the president did, with a little help from some friends.

Imagine calling up a few of your friends, telling them to bring a few of their friends, and then meeting on the court. Well Suns player Grant Hill was one of those who got a call from the White House to play in the ultimate pickup basketball game.

You see, Grant Hill joined other NBA stars like Chicago’s Joakim Noah, and Miami’s Dwayne Wade for the special birthday bash.

And you know that wherever Dwayne Wade goes, Lebron James goes. They were joined by a few old timers like Magic Johnson and Bill Russell. And you know the girls got game! Uconn’s amazing Maya Moore showed the boys a few moves as well!

And getting a chance to watch all this action from the sidelines, a group of wounded warriors, soldiers injured in action.

They were all there to help the president celebrate his birthday with a little hoop action, followed by a barbecue.

I just want to know if Obama worked the grill as well as he worked the ball on the court! We don’t really know because reporters were kept outside, because we are told the president just wanted to play! But hey, I know someone got some pictures! And maybe a video!

Happy Birthday President Obama, that was one heck of a b-day gathering. Now, what do you have planned for the 50th birthday party!
