Obama praised their talent and the league’s rising profile, shared basketball tips with Jonquel Jones, and even played “horse” to break in the court. He gifted the team a custom 44 jersey, reflecting his historic ties to the WNBA—including being the first president to attend a game in 2010. The visit, which also included mentoring high school girls and investors, underscored Obama’s enduring commitment to community and his role as a living example of leadership, resilience, and grace under pressure.
