Big Shot…Barack?
Have you seen this footage of Barack Obama scrimmaging with the UNC men’s basketball team?
I’m having trouble declaring this a Win or a Loss for his political campaign. I think it’s a win that he’s out there at all, and he looks pretty athletic. He also sets a nice screen at the :24 second mark, which portends him doing all the little things necessary to be successful. Then again, he has a pretty bad turnover and throws up a brick at the end that barely grazes iron. So I’m stuck on Draw.
What do you think? Win or Loss?
If he were an NBA player (from any era) who would he be? I say Tayshaun Prince.

That is a tough one. I say LOSS, narrowly, because of the t-shirt tucked into his sweatpants like a creepy gradeschool gym teacher. A faux pas, no?

definite WIN. you can tell he had game back in the day. but does this mean he loses the Duke vote?

McCain would shoot them both in the face, then pop the ball so noone could play… POW’s don’t play hoops.. Think John Rambo could shoot a hookshot? doubtful. But he would kill anyone who gave him crap for the airball.

LOSS, for the utter hopelessness displayed at :55.
