CHICAGO (AP) -- Former
Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen says President Barack Obama has a
"smooth game" on the basketball court.
Pippen described playing
basketball with the president Tuesday afternoon in a story on the Chicago Bulls
website. He played on Obama's team in an Election Day game complete with
referees and a running clock. Pippen and Obama's team won the game.
Pippen says the president
was "very easy to approach" and says Obama isn't an overly aggressive
player, probably because he doesn't want to get hurt.
Pippen says it was the
first time he met the president and called it "a very special
experience."
Pippen was a member of six
Chicago Bulls championship teams. He is now a senior adviser to Chicago Bulls
President and COO Michael Reinsdorf.
