'That's what I do': Barack Obama shoots a perfect three-pointer on Biden campaign trail

Former US President Barack Obama, who is on the campaign trail with Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden casually decided to try his hands at basketball. Proving to be a "baller", the former President swished a corner three-pointer at a Flint, Michigan, gym on Saturday.

Taking to Twitter, Obama posted a video where the 59-year-old is seen in the usual game mode. He was passed a basketball as he was leaving the gym. Obama casually took aim with his face mask on and sunk the shot. While walking out of the gym, he turned around and said, "That's what I do."

It may be noted that the former President is one of the closest political friends to the basketball fraternity in the country. Additionally, Obama is a bit of a basketball player himself as he played during his school days as well as whilst holding political office. He is even known for casually shooting a three-pointer in front of the American troops in Kuwait.
