Barack Obama Is At Game 2 Of The NBA Finals
Barack Obama is at Game 2 of the NBA Finals Sunday night, sitting with NBA commissioner Adam Silver. While photos of the two have already become a meme thanks to Twitter, Obama also got a rousing ovation from the crowd in Toronto.
Raptors fans gave President Obama a standing ovation and an “M-V-P” chant. Check it out:

I can’t reveal what he said to @heydb but let’s just say it was far more substantive than Drake ? https://t.co/GggIgEe3wp

Obama also met with Drake before the game:

He happened to meet ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski in the arena before the game and gave him props:
Obama and Woj just met in the bowels of the Raptors’ arena. It was the modern-day version of this photo.

And, of course, he ran into Stephen A. Smith:
Just had the pleasure of meeting the man himself: @BarackObama is in the house at the game. Asked if I needed to calm down. He said: “Nope! It’s working for you. Run with it!” No reason for me to go against HIS advice.#Haaaaaa

On top of all that, Obama is watching a heck of a game between the Toronto Raptors and Golden State Warriors.
Oh, and here is my favorite tweet about his appearance at the game:
