It should have happened already, tossing baseballs, footballs around on the white house lawn....makes a heck of a lot of sense to have a basketball court right there in the white house. I'm sure James A Naismith had that in mind from the first time he hung the peach basket.

Imagine the presidential seal right there at mid court. That's where the really tough negociations get done. Invite Putin over for a pickup game... all right Vladamir I drain this you pull out of Chechnya....swish. Line Item Veto, from half court nothing but net. Out are fireside chats, courtside diplomacy is in. Not to mention it can be well protected by the secret service and you can still get work outs, not to mention when collegiate and NBA teams win championships you can have them out for a pickup game instead of just a photo op.

Just saying. Presidential Basketball court... makes a lot of sense.

    Isn't there a room with a few bowling lanes in it? Wonder how tall that ceiling is?

    I can see a half court but not a full court and I'm sure some where in the White House they can make room for a bowling alley.

    I don't of too many bowling alleys near the White House but you never know.

    Not positive but I think there is a bowling alley in the White House.

    Yes there is ... Nixon had it built ...

    As a former semi-professional bowler, I always wanted to throw a few games in the White House, thought that would have been damn cool.
