President Barack Obama has revealed that his love for basketball has deteriorated over the years.

The POTUS went on the podcast, WTF with Marc Maron, and told the comedian that basketball wasn't as much fun for him anymore as it used to be, The Post Game reported.

He was never great, but was a good and serious player and now he's one of these old guys who are just running around, he further added.

Obama famously spent both Election Days playing pick-up ball with Scottie Pippen and other former basketball players in Chicago, using the game as a distraction from the day's frenzy.

But those games have been few and far between, and Obama now sees himself as a liability.
