Ex-Obama 'body man' writes book

Former ‘body man’ Reggie Love will be penning a book on his experience working alongside President Barack Obama.

“Power Forward: My Presidential Education,” will be released Feb. 3 by Simon & Schuster and will follow Love’s five years working for Obama, including his time as the president’s personal aide. It is described by the publisher as “a professional coming of age story like no other.”

Expect plenty of basketball talk too, as Love, who began working for then-Sen. Obama in 2006 and left the White House in 2011, will also draw on his time under Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, where the forward was part of the 2001 NCAA championship team.

“From his first interview with Sen. Obama, to his near-decision not to follow the president-elect to the White House, to eventually bringing LeBron, Melo, D-Wade, and Kobe to play with the president on his 49th birthday, Love drew on Coach K’s teachings as he learned to navigate Washington,” the publisher said.
