Asset Description

 

Overview & Authentication

 

·Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961, in Hawaii. 

·In 2004, Obama was elected to the position of U.S. Senator from Illinois. 

·At Hawaii’s Punahou School, Obama played on the J.V. and varsity basketball teams, even winning a state championship in 1979. According to a former coach: “He would carry his books in one hand and his ball in the other… He lived across the street from school and before classes he’d shoot baskets on the outside courts, then at lunch he’d shoot more baskets, then I’d have him for three hours, then he’d go home, eat supper, and then be outside again shooting baskets.” 

·Obama played basketball for two hours on election day in 2008. 

·According to the Obama White House website: “Shortly after taking office, President Obama had the White House tennis court adapted so it could be used for both tennis and basketball. The White House has had a smaller outdoor court since 1991, but the adapted tennis court allows enough room for a full court game of basketball. The new court has played host to a number of distinguished visitors, from college basketball championship teams to Wounded Warrior players.” 

·According to ESPN, President Obama invited a handful of basketball players to play a pickup game for his 49th birthday. Present at the game was Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Magic Johnson, and Carmelo Anthony, in addition to Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Bill Russell, and Maya Moore. “The reporters assigned to keep tabs on the president were shut out of the gym, forced to wait in vans outside. Asked why media coverage was blocked, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Obama ‘just wanted to play.’” 

·President Obama wrote in his 2020 memoir that he briefly coached his daughter Sasha’s basketball team. 

·The Underlying Asset has authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with Certification No. X05125.
