As expected, Barack Obama made his way to Cameron Indoor Stadium on Wednesday night for the latest edition of UNC versus Duke.
But the former president was not the only big-name celebrity to travel to Durham to see Zion Williamson and Duke play host to Roy Williams and Carolina.
Among those also in attendance were award-winning producer and director Spike Lee, Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley and actress Hayden Panettiere.

The rumor that Obama would be attending the UNC versus Duke basketball game started to surface on social media at the beginning of the week. Students on campus went into a frenzy on Wednesday afternoon when more rumors that Obama was on campus began to appear (those rumors were later debunked).

However, those weren’t the only big names who made the trip to Durham. Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen, top basketball recruit and Duke signee Vernon Carey and baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. were also in attendance.
