Obama shoots basketball festooned with own face, misses

President Obama shot some hoops Monday with former NBA players, Harlem Globetrotters, and children, using a basketball with an image of his own face on it.

ABC reports:

The "Shoot for Strength" activity took place on the White House basketball court, where Daryll "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins and legendary shooting guard Mitch Richmond joined Globetrotters’ Herb Lang, Fatima Maddox, Jacob Tucker and Wun Versher to conduct drills with kids. The drill consisted of the kids doing pushups every time the professional players or President Obama scored.

In his first three shots he went 0 for 3. He missed seven shots before sinking his first.

The kids switched with the shooters, and the president dropped to the ground to do some pushups.

"Somebody saw me cheating on my pushups," the president joked.
