President Obama admitted that his "basketball shot is broken" during a surprise lunch stop in Los Angeles.

The 52-year-old US President started chatting about the game to two older men who were sitting in a booth at Canter's Deli, and said elbow keeps going out when he plays and only makes about 80 percent of the free shots, ABC News reported.

He blamed it on his age, and added that he was getting the "chicken wing."

As per the White House, the stop was part Obama's effort to 'meet people across the country to listen to their struggles and successes, and issues they faced in their lives.
