President Obama trash-talked Paul Pierce after hitting a game-winner at the White House

The annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House is a time of family and fun that's dedicated to the children. But when members of the Washington Wizards, including John Wall and Paul Pierce, showed up for the festivities on Monday, a little bit of basketball with the nation's foremost hoops-loving politician was naturally in order.

And the competitive juices started to flow a little bit, as detailed by the Washington Post:

The five players were separated to captain five teams of children. But Wall was the only player shooting — his teammates were only retrieving rebounds and helping the children on their squad shoot. Obama then joined Wall’s team and they won two straight games before the other Wizards began shooting. But Obama and Wall won the last game to finish with three straight victories anyway and Obama added some boasts after his late-game heroics.

“He trash-talked Paul when he hit the game-winner,” Wall said. “He was like, ‘I’m clutch, I’m clutch.’”

Seeing is believing, of course. Fortunately for us, there's video of the shot -- and the trash talk.
