Former President Barack Obama surprised the WNBA All-Stars at their practice at his new Presidential Center on Friday.
Obama walked in from a side door much to the surprise of the 22 All-Stars.
“What’s up team? Look at these all-stars,” he said as he approached.
Obama called the players “extraordinary,” saying he “could not be a bigger fan.”
“Proud of what you guys are doing. You’re well deserving of all your success,” he said. “Seeing the fan base grow and the attention grow – that’s exactly where it should be.”
This was the first professional sport to use the basketball court at the center which opened in June. Obama went to the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles in February.
The league had previously announced the new Obama Presidential Center would serve as a featured venue for various All-Star activities.
The center opened to the public last month, with an opening ceremony on June 18, and since then has hosted events such as its Grand Opening Weekend and The People’s Fourth.
