Y’all knew it was gonna happen. President Obama tossed some shrimp on the bar-be and invited his boys over for a special game of hoops at the White House.

The President celebrated his 49th birthday firing up the grill and playing b-ball with a host of basketball all-stars. LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant and Dwayne Wade were just a few of the ballers that joined Obama for the special hoops exhibition. The star studded event, included an audience of wounded soldiers and participants of the White House mentoring program.

Education Secretary Arne Duncan was also included in game and although he played basketball at Harvard he admitted he was no match for King James. He told MSNBC it was an “amazing” day but he “stayed out of LeBron’s way.”

After shooting hoops, the jovial crowd headed back to the White House for a barbecue complete with oil flavored shrimp from the Gulf Coast.
