Barack Obama took a trip to Baton Rouge on Thursday for a town hall, and while he was in the heart of LSU country, he decided to shout out the Tigers’ star guard/forward, Ben Simmons. POTUS mentioned that an old member of his cabinet played with Simmons’ dad in Australia (he did say that the LSU star is better, of course), and gave him a little love on Twitter after the event.
