Obama sank a perfect three

"That's what I do!"

In a bitter 2020 election campaign that's been shaped by pandemic misery and Donald Trump's criminal malfeasance, Barack Obama brought some lighthearted joy into race. In a tweet blasted out Saturday night, we get to see the former president snatch up a basketball and sink a perfect three-point shot.

The tweet caption? "Shoot your shot," followed by a link to iwillvote.com. (Election day is Nov. 3, please do get out and vote.)

As the laughing ex-president leaves the court, he turns and looks directly at the camera, twice shouting "That's what I do!" with a big smile on his face. Former vice president and current White House contender Joe Biden follows his former boss out, exclaiming "All net!"

It's not completely unexpected to see Obama capably handling a basketball. He's been playing since high school, and he's leaned on those skills more than once during his political career.

Even still, Obama's pre-election 2020 three-pointer was greeted with glee by observers on Twitter, including none other than "King" LeBron James himself.
