Former president Barack Obama received a standing ovation and “MVP” chants Sunday while in attendance for Game 2 of the NBA Finals between the Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors.
Seated next to NBA commissioner Adam Silver, Obama was shown on the jumbotron in the second quarter. Both men stood up as the Toronto crowd cheered the former president on.
