NBA fans are having a range of reactions to Barack Obama getting a standing ovation at the All-Star Game over the weekend. Obama was one of the many celebrities who made it to the event and the only who received a standing ovation from the crowd.
However, it does not look like everyone is a fan of Obama, and many have been coming out with their opinions online. Some are pointing out the many flaws with the Obama administration, with them taking the opportunity to voice their frustrations on the after-effects of Barack as POTUS for America.
“BREAKING: Barack Obama just got a standing ovation at the NBA All-Star Game. Imaging Trump ever getting a standing ovation. @BarackObama is loved.” EdKrassen tweeted, sharing a video of Barack Obama getting a standing ovation at the All-Star Game.
“Honestly, who cares? My medical insurance is through the roof because of him.” one fan said.

“What standing ovation? Did we watch the same video? Meanwhile, below is Trump at every UFC event he attends. The entire arena actually stands when he makes his entrance. Imagine Obama ever getting cheered on like this. @realDonaldTrump is loved by real Americans.” Another fan remarked.
“Every time President Trump goes to a UFC event and an NFL game, he gets a standing ovation. What’re you talking about?” another fan questioned.
NBA Fans Also Applaud Barack Obama’s Presence At All-Star Game
It looks like many NBA fans are actually pretty delighted in seeing Barack Obama at the All-Star Game and are taking sides in this matter. Obama is undoubtedly a major baller fan and has been hailed as a strong basketball fan for years now.
“There’s a reason Obama gets that reaction in an NBA arena. He’s not just a former President there, he’s a genuine student who has spent years building a real rapport with the players and the league. When the crowd stands for him, they aren’t just applauding a politician- they’re acknowledging a cultural figure who genuinely loves the sport as much as they do. That kind of ‘organic’ respect is impossible to manufacture.” One fan stated.
“America was alive when Obama was President!” another fan announced.
“I sure do miss the Obamas,” one more fan said.
The response section was definitely a political debate between Obama supporters and those of Trump. President Trump did not attend the All-Star Game and his absence was vividly missed by MAGA fans.
