NBA is not just a sport but a daily life routine. Fans wake up every day with a curiosity to know about their favorite player or franchise. The world knows that the ex-president of the United States of America, Barack Obama is a big NBA fan. Obama, who is acclaimed for his excellent public speaking skills, once joked about rapper Kanye West’s supposed Presidential campaign in a fundraiser. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and other Warriors players also graced the event.

NBA stars frequently appear at fundraisers and other events for noble causes. Their contribution extends beyond the court. Back in 2015, The Golden State Warriors won the Championship after 40 long years. The baby-faced assassin Stephen Curry, and his teammates Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes, and Klay Thompson were the leading names in the glory.

Obama is known for his humorous remarks. Back in 2015, during his speech at a fundraising event, Obama took a joking jab at the hip-hop artist Kanye West for his potential Presidential run. He joked, “Do you really think that this country is gonna elect a black guy from the south side of Chicago with a funny name to be the President of the United States? That is crazy.” After hearing this, the crowd could barely contain their excitement. And they burst out cheering for the 45th POTUS.
