Obama shoots hoops with basketball stars on b'day

London, Aug 9 (ANI): US President Barack Obama spent part of his birthday celebrations shooting hoops with stars of the basketball world.

Obama, 49, was joined by Magic Johnson, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant at the game in Fort McNair near Washington, with wounded soldiers as the audience, Sky News reported.

The president had spent his birthday without his family, as his wife Michelle and youngest daughter Sasha were holidaying in Spain, while his eldest daughter Malia was away at camp.

After playing basketball for two hours, Obama returned to the White House for a barbeque with friends and Michelle and Sasha, who had just returned from Marbella. (ANI)
