NBA All-Star Weekend highlights

The,

If you tuned in to the NBA All-Star game this past weekend, you might have seen President Obama catch a loose basketball courtside and share a little bit about the Obama Presidential Center, coming to Chicago this June!

President Obama tells a reporter "The Presidential Center will be opening on the Southside in June"

President Obama’s love of basketball—and his belief that sports have the power to strengthen our communities—is a big part of the Center.

Home Court at the Obama Presidential Center is a hub for recreation, community, and wellness, featuring a NBA-regulation-sized basketball court, studios, and meeting spaces, all powered by renewable energy.

The court lights are on, the floor is finished, and we’re almost ready to welcome friends from down the street and around the world. Take a look!
