Chris Paul explains how President Obama got 'lucky' against him in pick-up basketball

President Barack Obama played plenty of basketball during his time in office, often with actors or professional NBA players. It appears as though he's pretty good, too, as evidenced by the many anecdotes from those who played with him over the years that appear in an oral history put together by the folks at GQ.

One particular story stands out, when Chris Paul — one of the greatest point guards ever to play the game — appeared to get crossed up by Obama on a fast break.

"I was shocked at how good he was," Paul said. "Nice lefty jump shot. But he got lucky one time on the break. I sort of jumped out, made him guess which way to go and he made the right play, crossed over, made it look like he crossed me up. It’ll never happen again. Hopefully now that he’s out of office we’ll have some time to see if it was real."
