President Barack Obama Full Interview
About this episode
Barack Obama discusses his basketball journey, the Obama Presidential Center, and his reflections on leadership and America.
We've been working on this one for a while: we got 44 on ALL THE SMOKE. With the Obama Presidential Center freshly opened in Chicago, Matt & Stak got a real sit down with Barack Obama himself. We got into the origin story behind Home Court, the basketball facility he built right into the Center and what hoops meant to him growing up without his father in the house, idolizing Walt Frazier and Dr. J from a TV screen in Hawaii. We also broke down the Knicks' championship run with him, from Brunson's heart to why he's officially crowning him the king of New York, and got his honest take on a divided America. Plus, Obama opened up on what he misses most since leaving the White House and how he's spending his time now mentoring the next generation of leaders.
