Earlier this week we told you about Barack Obama's plans to attend his first NBA game as President. Obama made good on those plans and watched his hometown Chicago Bulls take on the Wizards from a courtside seat at the Verizon Center.

With Obama running a tad late, arena officials slightly delayed the game to allow Obama to catch the tip off. Upon his arrival, he received a standing ovation from everyone in attendance, including the players. I can't ever remember anything like that happening at an NBA game before. The perks of being the President, I guess.

Check out video of the President's fashionably late arrival after the jump.
