Former President Bill Clinton was a better musician than an athlete growing up. The future leader of the free world was better at a lot of things, actually. But all these years later, Clinton says some of his fondest childhood memories took place on a basketball court or whatever field he and his friends could find to start up a game of touch football.
“You don’t have to be great at something to be competitive at it,” Clinton said Monday night during a discussion withLos Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant at the opening of the third annual Clinton Health Matters Conference on kids and sports at the La Quinta Resort.
“I still remember the only church league basketball game that I was the leading scorer. I was 16 years old and I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember the basket I made to be the leading scorer. You may think that’s silly, like this guy’s been president and he’s thinking about a basketball game … it was one of those magical nights. I might as well have won the NBA championship.”
