Former President Barack Obama surprised the WNBA All-Stars at his Chicago Presidential Center, delighting players with his unexpected visit and heartfelt praise for the league’s growth. He reunited with past champions, snapped a photo with Caitlin Clark and teammates, and chatted with A’ja Wilson. Though he couldn’t play full-court due to an Achilles injury, he gamely posed in defense with Jonquel Jones and broke in the new court with a game of “horse.” The WNBA’s historic use of the court was highlighted as fitting, given Obama’s basketball legacy. He also met investors and 100 high school girls, blending sports, inspiration, and community in a day of unforgettable moments.
