- description: (April 1, 2013) - VIDEO - U.S. President Barack Obama plays basketball during the annual Easter Egg Roll on the White House tennis court April 1, 2013 in Washington, DC. Reporters, children and other onlookers who observed President Barack Obama's Easter Egg Roll celebrations today saw first-hand what many critics will likely dub a plethora of embarrassing moments — twenty of them, to be exact. Here's what happened: While playing basketball with the kids in attendance, the commander-in-chief attempted to make numerous shots. But out of a total of 22 shots, he only sank two. In case you're wondering, that means Obama only made about 9 percent of the overall dunks he attempted. The attempts, which all took place on the White House basketball court, occurred in front of a number of children and Washington Wizards players, The Washington Post reports. The official pool report described the shots as follows: "Miss. Miss. Off the rim. Miss. Miss. Off the rim. Airball. He moved closer to the net. But time and again, he missed." Now, it's true that Obama missed quite a number of shots, but he's the leader of the free world. Perhaps he was exhausted and sleep-deprived. Or, maybe it was the vibe given off from professional players watching that tinkered a bit with his concentration. It's widely known that Obama is a regular basketball player, so it's not as though this was his first go-around. Either way, he's not likely to avoid scrutiny on this one (at least not today).
