President Barack Obama spent a part of his day playing in a pickup basketball game with John Wall, Paul Pierce, and others as a part of the White House Easter Egg Roll event. As the game was nearing a close, President Obama took a shot while being guarded by Paul Pierce, and the basket ended up being the game winning shot. Obama decided to talk some trash afterwards to The Truth and make him realize that he is more than just a man who makes decisions for the country.
Wall on playing w/ @BarackObama :"It was fun. He's got the weirdest jump shot release but he showed off today #WizardsTalk #NBA @CSNWizards

More Wall on @BarackObama :"He trash-talked Paul (Pierce) when he hit the game-winner. 'I'm clutch. I'm clutch.' #WizardsTalk @CSNWizards

Randy Wittman would not be very impressed with the defensive effort Pierce gave on the last play that lead to Obama being able to hit the final shot. Lucky for Pierce, Wittman was too busy getting ready for when the Wizards face the 76ers on Wednesday night in Philly.
As long as Pierce is not letting people hit game winners over him once playoff time comes, everything will be fine. Pierce will certainly hear some talk from his friends and teammates once he sees them again. Maybe Pierce will be able to get back at the President by hitting a game winner of his own if the Wizards were to face Obama’s hometown Bulls in the playoffs.
