Barack Obama has provided us with perhaps the most effortlessly cool moment of the presidential campaign trail after he shot a three-pointer with ease.

The 59-year-old former president wowed people on social media when he swished a corner three-pointer while visiting a gym in Flint, Michigan, on Saturday (October 31).

The impressive display was captured by the Biden campaign's traveling digital director Olivia Raisner, who later shared the video to Twitter, along with the caption: "so this was absolutely insane".

After sinking the basket like it was second nature, Obama yells: "That's what I do".

He then lowers his "VOTE" face mask and says once again: "That's what I do!"

As of this writing, the video has proven very popular on the social media platform amassing over 15 million views in just 16 hours.

The clip has also been retweeted over 68,000 times, and received many comments from impressed supporters.

One person joked: "Trump will say it's fake."

Even basketball legend LeBron James sat up and took notice, tweeting: "Now you just showing out now my friend!! That’s what you do huh?? Ok ok I see. All cash."

As reported by CNN, Obama used to play JV and varsity basketball at Hawaii's Punahou School, and would frequently play basketball during his rise to political prominence.

In fact, several Twitter users were quick to point out yesterday's all-net sink with the time he hit a three while playing some b-ball with troops in Kuwait (check that moment out below).

CNN adds that Obama continued to play basketball throughout his presidency - and was even forced to get stitches after being hit with an "errant elbow" during a game in 2010.
