Basketball stars join Obama to play for troops

WASHINGTON — LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony and other NBA all-stars joined President Barack Obama on Sunday to entertain wounded troops.

The basketball superstars were joined by some retired legends, including Bill Russell and Magic Johnson. College player Maya Moore of the Connecticut Huskies women’s team also played.

The game was played for a group of “wounded warriors” — troops injured in action — and participants in the White House’s mentoring program.

The action took place at a gym inside Washington’s Fort McNair, a short drive from the White House. The president was inside the gym for about two hours.
