As some may already know, President Barack Obama is a big time basketball fan. I’ll probably get venom spewed at me for saying this, but disagree with his politics all you want, it’s kind of cool that a President can manage to find time to stay up on sports, despite the fact the he’s busy leading the free world.
He visited McKinley High School in Louisiana on Thursday to have a town hall meeting. Meanwhile LSU stud and hopefully future Sixer, Ben Simmons took the opportunity to see the 44th president speak.

The President took notice of Simmons’ presence and gave him a little shout out.

That’s a pretty awesome moment, especially for Simmons who I’m sure was stoked.
Cue the liberal bashing in 3,2,1….
