OKLAHOMA CITY -- Oklahoma City Thunder’s Kevin Durant shot around with President Obama during a private invite by the Commander in Chief himself, according to a report.

Durant’s agents contacted the President’s personal aide, Reggie Love, inquiring about the possible shoot-around. Earlier this year, KD was overlooked for an exclusive pick-up game with the President, featuring some of the NBA’s leading players. While Durant didn't address how he felt being left off the invite list, he did jump at the opportunity to visit President Obama later in the year.

Durant’s chance to play Obama came September 18, but he chose to stay mum about the game. According to the report, members of Durant’s family also came along for the game, as well as teammates Eric Maynor and James Harden.
