NBA superstar Magic Johnson made a second trip to the White House today, and plans to shoot some hoops with President Obama soon.

Johnson, spotted by a TPMDC reporter as he left the White House grounds this morning, said there are no hard feelings after Obama teased him yesterday when presenting the Los Angeles Lakers with recognition. Obama is an avid Chicago Bulls fan who has made basketball a regular White House activity.

Asked if he planned to play ball on the court Obama erected last year in place of the White House tennis court near the South Lawn, Johnson grinned.

“Once the weather breaks we’ll be out there,” said Johnson, who campaigned for Hillary Clinton during the Democratic Presidential Primary.
