Anthony Edwards, Cade Cunningham, and Donovan Mitchell’s interactions with former president Obama during the All Star Game
Ant trash talking Obama is amazing.
“He did alrigh for an old man” and then the immediate cut to “Mr. President, I just wanted to say hello.”
Cade ethical on and off the court.

Brother what ahahahaa
Cade is the oldest young guy in the league.
For real. Dude carries himself like he’s 36. I’m only slightly jealous you guys have the coolest superstar in the league. No drama, just pure excellence and maturity. He should be the face of the league in my opinion.
I swear it’s (partly) because he committed to being a father at such a young age (17 I think). All of that immature nonsense seems to disappear when you have more important things to focus on.
“Committed to being a father at 17” is a wild way to phrase that he was fucking unprotected and shit happened
Unfortunately a lot of people do that without committing to be a father. The wording seemed very intentional.
Well I had it phrased differently at first because obviously a bunch of young NBA players are out here getting girls pregnant.
But there is a difference between raw-dogging IG models and asking them to “*send da video*” VS stepping up and (seemingly) being a good father. That type of commitment reflects a certain maturity that isn’t always common in this demographic.
Maturity comes at you fast sometimes.
I mean compare that to send da video type shit.
I saw the words ‘Cade Cunningham’ and ‘unprotected’ and I was already opening my trade calculator.
Ant has like 5 kids, don’t see the same effect there
Obama said “ I won a math against him”😂 I’m guessing it was filled with Top level players on both sides but this is why Ant had to say something.
There had to have been some sort of private gathering on Saturday with some players and Obama that Ant was at. There isn’t anything from the event on social media, but Ant mentioned in his interview postgame he hung out with Obama on Saturday. Isn’t Obama involved with USA Basketball on some level - maybe on the Board? Perhaps the Team USA guys from the last Olympics had a get together or something.
That or around when team USA was together ( medal visit or function), Obama had them for open runs.
I know Obama is a huge basketball fan that played with LeBron, Curry, KD, ect and hosted NBA Champions at the White House during his 8 year run so it would be very easy for him to get any of these guys to show up.
Also it’s an All Star weekend so Obama definitely has a nice place to have them hang out some place.
There’s a pic from years ago of Obama Don Cheadle George Clooney and Toby McGuire hooping together lol, random ahh assortment of people
The Black Panther, War Machine, Batman and Spiderman all in one game. Amazing.
Bro Obama said “I wore him out yesterday.”
Bet they were trash talking on the court too lmao. I’d love soundbite of one of the players saying some extremely outta pocket shit, but we’ll never get it 😢
points at secret service “they can’t save you on this court.” 😂
There is no doubt some Grayson Allen looking moke on Obama’s detail that would give Ant a run for a half second.
wore him out? send da video
You lucky I’m young if I was your age youd have never seen the White House
The NBA needs Ant to become the new face of the league.
Last time he told Obama and Embiid to “stand down” bc they said he can only “hoop a little bit” lol
He has a history with O.
He said stand down when it seemed they would subtly shade Rudy and KAT
“Stand down”
[deleted]
It was Obama, they were hanging out the day before

This one where Ant talking to him is funny
I feel ant too dumb to appreciate Obama
He called Obama his favorite person in the world
yup
Anthony Edwards treating him like one of the boys.
Ant would trash talk a doctor giving him life saving surgery. Just a generational hater and shit talker.
“Trash ass opening incision”
He’s definitely the type that thinks he can fight off anesthesia
And give it a good fight
Any would trash talk the person giving his other other side chick an abortion.
Bruhhh just give her two now so I can nut in this later
That has to be a pretty fun feeling for Obama. I wonder how many people in the last decade have treated him like one of the boys. I’d bet it’s less than five
That’s exactly how I feel. I’m sure Obama loves it.
100%. Imagine for the past 20 years of your life you’ve largely been dealing with stuffy suits and platitudes and then you get this young buck talking slick with you playing your favorite sport at a high level. Gotta feel good.
The Netflix gold medal show has Obama meeting team USA. Obama seemed to have a good time with them. Dude has always loved basketball and the players seem to respect him as one of the guys.
I mean the goat president loves the sport you play. What’s there not to love? He and Michelle were EPs of that series if I recall correctly. He’s a good dude who just knows ball.
I kind of feel like the people who treat him like one of the boys fall directly on the spectrum of that Key and Peele sketch.
That clip when he meets Team USA and Ant is so damn funny. Dude was acting like a kid showing off to his uncle
Lebron, Embiid, and all the older dudes speaking with so much respect and Ant’s just talking trash lol
Easiest way to make people feel comfortable in conversations is doing this. You have no idea how good it works
Old heads love Ant
Ant probably thinks he is one of the boys, he probably didn’t even know who was president during that period.
You’re trying too hard
He’s a classic ‘holier than thou’ fake outraged Redditor
No he’s treating him like one of the Boys, the vigilante group created to battle superhumans in the hit TV series, the Boys.
He’s comparing Bama to Stan Edgar
you should take your act on the road cuz this is 100% original GOLD son. ain’t never heard a joke like that
I guess when you’re as big of a douchbag as Ant and have been for so long, all the jokes get used up huh? And let’s be honest, if you wanted to hear original jokes, you wouldn’t be on Reddit anyways.
Out of curiosity, what are you picturing? Are you imagining Ant meeting women at the park or something, dating for a while, getting them pregnant and then leaving? Have you ever considered that potentially the women involved had nefarious intentions of their own? Do you consider it reasonable to go through with having a baby to someone you just happened to hook up with one night ? Have you ever considered that nobody is “innocent” in this except for the children?
It’s pretty common knowledge that Ant dropkicks women onto a trap door in his 5th floor apartment which leads to a room that they all managed to escape from. You didn’t know this?
He’s picturing a guy so deplorable that Barack Obama is publicly dapping him up
You could do it too but you’re ugly, poor AND a celtics fan. no woman would ever gravitate around such a bellend.
Played out buddy, I hope you hold your coach to the same standards
I mean the Celtics kind of did? Unless you mean watching The Town too many times
yawn
Damn I wish he was still our president
My Gawd how we ever go from this amount of class to the absolute gutter should be studied
unfortunately they are very much related. The white supremacist side of america wanted to “take america back” and so voted for the most KKK man out there.
I firmly believe if Obama had not been elected neither would Trump.
I think it’s also worth mentioning that Obama’s roasting of Trump during the 2011 white house correspondents dinner very much motivated Trump to keep running for President. It’s the main reason he hates Obama so much
It reallllllyyyyyyyy didn’t. There’s no secret plot or conniving on Trump’s part to become president lol. He ran because his businesses were in trouble and he wanted free publicity. The plan was always to drop out and endorse Chris Christie. He started winning in a crowded election because he was the biggest name and said the most outrageous shit. He won and even he was shocked lol.
To be absolutely honest, I’m sure he actually enjoyed the roast from Obama. It validated him that his birther bs actually took off in US media and got him shout out from a top dog. All publicity is good publicity for Donald Trump lol
I also don’t think Trump hates Obama either. Jealous of him? Sure. But he def has respect for any player who’s good at working media, like Obama and Zohran. You’ll see how cordial Trump is with Obama every time they’re in the same room. He just plays the angle because he knows what sells with his racist base
Trump isn’t some genius who is plotting stuff 10 steps ahead. He’s a show man. He knows how media works. He’s probably the godfather of modern day reality tv
Bros couldn’t take a joke and now rent is $3400
Doesn’t need to be studied at all, just classic American white supremacy.
Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to… uhhh… uhnmmm. Something but I uhhh. Nvm. It’s something bad though
race and gender insecurity
Racism. It’s really just that.
We went from troll, to senile man, back to troll
troll>senile>senile troll
[Removed by Reddit]
Feel like Presidents on both sides get cooler as they leave office and you no longer need to attach politics to your opinion of someone. Crazy how that works.
Bad bot. ‘rm -rf *
Holy shit get an education. “Anyone who calls me out is a bot”, you don’t realize how unhinged that is?
Bad bot
Bad cult.
Both sides are problematic, yeah, but the Obama years were objectively better in every way than the current wild shit going on. Obama is the least problematic president in 50 years at least. Please stop making Pistons fans look bad.
Where did I say he was worse than Trump? But we shouldn’t be celebrating presidents at all. He’s vile still. You just don’t care about Muslims being killed. He killed fucking children including American children who bought his propaganda. If you don’t get how vile him pretending to drink flint water is, you’re a horrible person with no actual morals.
Or maybe you’re overreacting on an NBA sub and calling people liberals.
Cheering and celebrating a war criminal and refusing to call him out for what he is while pretending to have good morals is exactly what a liberal is. Refusing to acknowledge valid criticism and deflecting and calling anyone who calls you out, a “bot” is peak liberal.
Got it, anyway 44 was a fantastic president
we shouldn’t be celebrating presidents at all
Every president has done something worth condemning, granted. A lot of them did some things worth celebrating.
Just curious tho, who should we be celebrating? Other world leaders? Civil rights leaders? Which ones?
Or is it nobody? Or?…
Nobody. Especially after the Epstein files. We’re ruled by evil vile men. Our country history is filled with horrific vile people doing horrific things. We shouldn’t be worshipping anyone.
Imma give you another shot at this cuz I asked about other international leaders and civil rights leaders. I wasn’t even just asking about the USA, I’d love to hear who you think is worth celebrating in general.
And if it’s still nobody, goddamn that sounds like a sad existence. Didn’t think you’d actually bite that bullet my man.
I used to believe in people but everytime I believe in someone horrific things come out about them. I do think people like MLK Jr, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Harriet Tubman, should be acknowledged for the great things they did.
And I never said it wasn’t sad, wish I could believe in people. But tired of being let down by finding out people were doing horrific things.
Your no better than Trump supporters. We have term limits for a reason.
Lol you lame af. And if you wanna “well actually” everything, it’s “you’re” 🤡
Better grammar at least
You edited this and still botched your/you’re. Great job, champ.
*you’re lol
Love the way Cade goes right to the “sir.” Reminds me of what he said about how his parents raised him.
Man i feel like if i go up to any president my mind would always automatically move to sir. Except for the current one of course.
“Sir, you can’t shit here.”, is a reason to call the current president, sir.
bad bot
JB telling Cade that Barack is in the house is so cute hahaha
“Barack Obama in the house…” is a soundbyte I will not soon forget lol
“Yeah I got a picture with him” with a little smirk was great
Meanwhile it’d be a stadium walk out if 47 showed up
You know for a fact it wouldn’t be. Might boo his ass in the crowd, players would probably ignore him.
But you know that players after the fact would be talking about “unity” or some shit.
Not that I want to hear what athletes think about politics anymore, but we gotta quit pretending the people of the USA aren’t pussyholes
Barack Obama is a national treasure
Donovan almost called her “Michelle” lol
You know she wouldn’t have minded either tho lol
I miss the Obama’s every day man
Corrected himself tho
He nailed that correction lol
Well Obama would of course call his wife “Michelle” but that doesn’t mean anybody else should call the former First Lady by her first name lol I get how he slipped up but it’s still funny
It’s always fun watching people who are usually the most famous people in the room get to meet someone even more famous
You mean Obama meeting Ant, right?
you’re joking but this is honestly how gen alpha and younger would perceive it
Reminds me of Adam Sandler saying on a Podcast how he was so starstruck over seeing Paul McCartney eating dinner at the same restaurant as him. He goes on to say that he kept walking over to try and strike up a conversation but the closer he got the more nervous he became and he’d abort.
Then on another one of his attempts he got close enough to see that it wasn’t just Paul McCartney but Ringo Starr sitting across from Paul. Two Beatles sitting right there haha
Damn, Michelle Obama looking so beautiful! Both of them aged so well
How you doin Mich—nice to meet you, Ms. Obama.
Prez is so casual he confused Donovan lol. “My bro is introducing me to his girl — hold up though “
I caught that too lol
Cade Cunningham looks 40
He’s an old soul
He probably has a glass dish of Werther’s originals in his locker.
Werther’s originals are the Rolls Royce of geriatric candy.
Werthers are GOATed and real ones know.
I’m a huge fan of Reisen.
*Green Apple Werther’s
Monty and Weaver did that to him.
Killian Hayes aged 20 years in that one season.
Vegan power
Pistons shit. Cade, Stew, Duren.. I ain’t even know Huerter was 27. But I did when he was on the Bulls!!
Cade looked old in high school lmao. That’s just his vibe
Carrying the pistons will do that to you haha
Michelle looking amazing. Also respect Ant being who he is regardless of the situation lol
I get it now - the team that won is the team that likes Obama most /s
Ant did literally say he tried harder cause Obama was there, so between Obama and Wemby they saved the All-Star game
Ant is so cool lol dude talked trash to the president without blinking. I would be stuttering and pissing myself.
Literally told him he was the truth the first time they met 😭
I need to see Obama at every all star game from now until he’s gone. This is a tradition that needs to be spoken into existence.
MY president 💪🏾
I bet Obama would love to play in the celebrity game.
Dude has so much juice, it’s unreal.
I feel like this added to some players wanting to play serious in front of President Obama. Then, those players playing seriously rubbed off to other players playing seriously, which eventually became a trickle effect.
that’s Obeezy if y’all ain’t know
Well known fact Barry can dunk from the foul line
how can spider give obama’s nephews a boring handshake? where is the dap he gave obama?
Obama’s coolness got him confused. He switched into formal mode midway through greeting Michelle then just stayed formal to keep his brain from short circuiting. He needs to study Key & Peele’s Obama dap customization skit
Once again: We can have normal, sane, and even fun people leading this country again if we all decide we want that. Or if simply enough of us decide that. The vast majority of our people want that. Let’s bring it back.
I like how Spida corrected himself and said Mrs. Obama instead of Michelle. Respect.
*“*🙂 How ya doin’, Mich–.
😥 Nice to meet you, Mrs. Obama. Yes ma’am.”
My president!
If Obama can’t be president again then he should be commissioner of the NBA
44 🫡
Class act!
Must be cool to have Uncle Prez
mitchell with the “nice to meet you miss obama” lol
Sad to see the current sitting president badmouths and shits on Obamas every chance he gets
No one has a bigger fan club
So cool
Normal but also crazy that Obama’s nephews are more excited to meet the nba players despite how excited those NBA players are to meet Obama.
The best, And coolest president ever!
“Barack Obama in the house” is great
wheres trump?
More President Obama and Anthony Edwards.
Obama comes off like he is genuinely friends with them, you can see the natural charisma
Cade: “Hello Sir”
Ant: “Boy you did alright for a a card carrying AARP member”
Is there any other source for this clip? This shit ass gif or whatever won’t play on the Reddit app
Imagine having a president that people respect.
I need ant to be the next face of the league
I’m pretty sure ant just called Obama an old man, right? Cmon. He’s the only player besides LeBron to be drafted #1 overall, win a gold medal, win an all star mvp and have 10K pts before turning 25. He’s the next face of the league the moment Steph retires if he has a ring by then (which he should).
Very cool.
War criminal and Zionist
Obama’s involved? Well that increases the confidence I have that people in and around the NBA aren’t involved in immoral business practices!
I wish Obama met Luka, he would’ve seen true aura in person fr
Obama bailing out the banks and being hard on immigration is apparently fine because he’s cool
Shaking hands with a man who ruined parts of Africa and the Middle East by dropping a shit ton of bombs on it, SMH
So what’s your alternative? Let al-Shabaab and al-Qaeda operate freely?
You’re ignoring the fact that those groups are responsible for mass-casualty bombings in Somalia, assassinations of officials and journalists, attacks on African Union peacekeepers, and major terrorist attacks in Kenya like Westgate Mall and Garissa University.
And you’re pretending Somalia, Libya, or the Sahel were some peaceful, stable paradise before extremists and civil conflict tore them apart?
These countries already faced weak governance, corruption, armed militias, and internal power struggles; problems rooted in decades of instability, not one American president.
You can criticize U.S. foreign policy. Fine. But blaming Obama for ordering military strikes against internationally recognized terrorist organizations is just lazy.
What exactly did Obama “ruin” that wasn’t already being destroyed by warlords, extremists, and collapsed institutions?
I respect Obama for his domestic policies but come on, let’s not pretend he only killed terrorists. Substantial civilian deaths under Obama’s drone strikes are well-recorded. And instability isn’t a good enough reason to justify bombing someone; what good did intervening in Afghanistan do? Should we be bombing Central and South American countries for being run by drug lords and having high homicide rates? You can praise Obama for being an objectively “good” president in many areas while also pointing out that some of his actions overseas were in fact reprehensible and overlooked solely due to his overall reputation.
But is it pointless to bring up these criticisms when we see an NBA player shake hands with Obama? Yes. I doubt these players are “endorsing” every act he did or are even aware of these things. Cade for example is too young to even remember Obama’s presidency.
Respectable comment. Civilian deaths = bad, always. That’s why I would never want to be president, having to make that kind of choice. I would never find peace within myself again knowing I was responsible for so much suffering. But I endorse responding to evil with force if needed. Unfortunately, force is almost always tinged with tragedy.
I respect your opinion brother, but I’m sorry he affected my family with some of this stuff.
You’ll get downvoted to hell by politically illiterate redditors, but you’re not wrong. I’ll never forget reading about the wedding procession that was drone striked in Yemen back in 2013. Human rights watch(A credible, long standing human rights org) reported that the victims were entirely civilians.
So sad that many Americans shrug at these horrifying events to protect the reputation of their preferred political figures. In a sane world we would have an honest conversation about the problem of the bipartisan nature of U.S imperialism which has killed upwards of 5 million people in the last 30 years.
Sure I would prefer Obama to trump, but being better than republicans is such an incredibly low bar. And that difference shouldn’t make democrats immune to criticism.
Alas imperialist propaganda is a hell of a drug.
I’m sorry to hear about your family and I wish them safety going forward.
Thank you, a lot of evil stuff happened in these countries and people don’t realize it. There are many horror stories, of people I know who dealt with the evilness of the American military, and definitely Obama is better than Trump I agree, but Obama caused a lot of damage that we won’t recover from. Thanks for the safety wishes too, we are doing better now 🙏🏽
And al-Qaeda/AQAP/AQI whatever you call them are responsible for tens of thousands of deaths. How do we comfort all those murdered and you? What political actions makes it ok? What societal stance absolves or indicts appropriately the “bad guys” and the “good guys” absolutely?
We can’t. If someone like yourself is telling the truth, I am sorry for your family, but forgive me for internet-age cynicism.
Anyway, the All Star weekend was about basketball. Not this. We have to be able to separate from geopolitical haranguing every once in a while. You’re only in your 20s. Trust me; it will wear on you over time.
You’re right, I respect ur opinion a lot, have a good day I can tell you’re a good person
You too.
