US President Barack Obama joined fellow basketball fans to support his home-team, the Chicago Bulls.
According to Yahoo, the American President sat court-side, chatting cheerfully and shaking hands with fellow basketball fans.
He also exchanged a few playful words with a Wizards fan, Miles Rawls, sitting a few rows back.
Speaking about their exchanges Rawls said: “I just had to see how he was gonna take it.”
He added: “Once I knew he was a big trash talker, too, about them Bulls, that means the gloves came off.”
While they talked through much of the game, Rawls said no lines were crossed: “I wasn’t disrespectful. I know my limits.
“I wasn’t heckling the President and I don’t heckle the players. I talk about their weaknesses.”
He added: “Once Chicago started coming back, he told me, ‘Now I think you need to sit down!’
“Then JaVale McGee [Wizards player] had that alley-oop, and he gave me the high five. We was just supporting each others’ team, having a good time.
“I couldn’t believe he was that laidback and real. I loved it.”
