( CNN ) President Obama admitted Friday that his basketball game is suffering and he prefers golf nowadays , but for Attorney General Eric Holder it 's nothing but net . In a town hall event Friday , President Obama said he 's fallen a long way from his days `` dominating '' the court . `` I 'll be honest with you , my game is a little broke , '' Obama said . `` I 've been a little busy , and what happens is that , sort of , the risk-reward ratio starts shifting . '' Holder , however , is seen sinking the ball with ease in a YouTube video posted Friday . On Thursday , Holder was in San Francisco to visit the Willie Mays Boys & Girls Club , where he played a pickup game with local police officers and teens . As Holder finishes up his six-year term , expected to be replaced by attorney general nominee Loretta Lynch , he does n't seem too worried about his skills . `` I 'm finished , guys , '' Holder said as he high-fived another player after his shot . `` I 'm going out on top . '' White House adviser Valerie Jarrett tweeted out the video , challenging Secretary of Education Arne Duncan , who played basketball while attending Harvard , to show his own skills . Obama , on the other hand , was thinking back to his 2008 campaign for the presidency , when he would squeeze in pickup games whenever he could . At a campaign event in 2008 he played a three-on-three game refereed by WNBA star Tamika Catchings . When asked about the possibility of playing Catchings in a one-on-one game , he was less than confident . `` She was a witness to my domination on the court , but when it comes to me playing her one-on-one , at this point I 'm not sure . '' The President probably remembers all too well when one basketball game resulted in an injury . In 2010 , White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said the President received a dozen stitches after getting hit with an errant elbow during a Friday morning basketball game with White House aide Reggie Love and others at Fort McNair military base in Washington . Although there 's been no sign of any other recent basketball-related injuries , the President said he 's wary of taking the risk . `` The chances of an Achilles tear or an ACL injury is increasing each month , and then the satisfaction I get from playing diminishes because I 'm so bad , '' the President said . `` I think golf , likelihood of injury much lower . But I still love the game . I still love the game . '' Catchings , however , is ready . Friday afternoon she tweeted : `` I 'm game LOL ''
President Obama says he leans more toward playing golf these days . He has been criticized for his golfing habits in the past, but now that he's president and can do what ever he wants to do, it's not a big deal anymore.
