Every year, Obama releases his March Madness bracket for the men’s and women’s tournaments, and regularly attends their games

In February, he announced his involvement in launching a new league in Africa to grow the game across the continent. 

“I’ve always loved basketball because it’s about building a team that’s equal to more than the sum of its parts,” Obama tweeted following the announcement. “Glad to see this expansion into Africa because for a rising continent, this can be about a lot more than what happens on the court.”
