NBA fans are having a range of reactions to the Suns sharing a clip from the All-Star Game where Devin Booker met the Obamas. Barack and Michelle showed up to the event and were obvious head-turners at the game.
Barack managed to rub shoulders with numerous ballers and even got a standing ovation from the crowd. Of course, fans had to come up with hilarious jokes about the situation, especially since Booker managed to shake Barack’s hand and ignored Michelle who was sitting beside him.
“Had to come back to this moment from the All-Star Game (starry-eyed emoji)” Phoenix Suns tweeted, sharing a clip of Devin Booker meeting the former POTUS and FLOTUS.

“I love that Book left Big Mike hanging,” one fan trolled Michelle Obama.
“You already posted this … why keep cramming the worst president of all time down our throats?” another fan mocked the Suns.
“Monkeys visiting a zoo where there are other monkeys…nothing special here.” one racist fan remarked.
Barack Obama getting to the All-Star Game was clearly one of the highlights of the event, with numerous players super-excited to meet the former POTUS. While Barack was trolled for a number of policies from his time in office that did not win the public’s favor, his wife was body-shamed, a cycle that continued from the time she was First Lady.
NBA Fans Troll Barack Obama From His Time As POTUS
Many NBA fans took this opportunity to do a little bit of trolling of Barack Obama himself. It looks like Obama as POTUS really angered many Americans, even though he has not lived in the White House for quite some time.
“Greatest president in US history! (goat emoji)” one fan said.
“President Barack Obama is highly favored & is class ACT! Obama has shown world what it means to be President of Free world. Obama has displayed diplomacy, patriotism, integrity, honor, respect for the Rule of Law & Constitution, Obama never (boxing glove emoji, downward arrow emoji); honored to say he was my President,” another fan said.
“Yes, here we have a President showing respect to a Fellow-American!” one more fan added.
After Barack Obama’s presence at the All-Star Game was celebrated widely on the internet, many MAGA fans seemed to take this as an offense. Many even compared to the reaction that Obama got from the crowd to what President Trump has been receiving.
