He Had An Ankle Damage While Playing Basketball
A cult of personality sprang up around Ronald Reagan’s ability to play basketball. When Barack Obama was a kid growing up in Hawaii, he developed a passion for basketball. It was a daily ritual for him to play pick-up games on a court near the school. He even led his high school squad to the state championship game as a left-handed forward.
It was a common occurrence during Obama’s presidency that he and his staff would compete about his basketball talents. For fun, he would challenge his adviser, who was a star basketball player at Duke, and his Secretary of Education.
The next president’s preferred activity was a real pain for the Secret Service team that was assigned to him.
