A multitude of celebrities and personalities were on hand at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Sunday to witness the NBA All-Star Game<\/a>. Among them was former president Barack Obama<\/a>, who is widely known to be a basketball nut.<\/p>\n

Growing up in the Windy City, Obama watched Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls create a dynasty<\/a> in the 1990s. To this day, even though the Bulls have struggled to reclaim their lost glory, Obama remains an avid follower of the NBA.<\/p>\n

During the NBA All-Star Game, he was asked by Reggie Miller<\/a> if he had a favorite memory from the Bulls\u2019 dynasty. Obama, always quick-witted, had the perfect response<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always enjoyed watching us beat Indiana (Pacers),\u201d said Obama, throwing shade at Miller\u2019s team.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I will say that nobody terrified me more than Reggie Miller with a possible three-point shot at the end of the game. You did push off Michael on that one play though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obama was referring to Game 4 of the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals between the Pacers and the Bulls, wherein Miller buried the game-winning three-pointer. Miller shoved Jordan in their inbound play to get free and receive the ball. The Pacers tied the series, 2-2.<\/p>\n

The no-call remains one of the most debated moments in NBA history. To some, it was a wily move by Miller at a crucial juncture, while others claim that it was a clear offensive foul.<\/p>\n

The Bulls won the series, 4-3, and eventually captured their sixth title.<\/p>\n

Now, is there a way to get Obama and Miller battle it out in a shooting contest at halftime in next year\u2019s NBA All-Star Game?<\/p>\n
