An Open Challenge to President Barack Obama
Can President Obama REALLY Play Basketball?
By: Fat Lester
January 05, 2010 I am confident I could dominate President Barack Obama one-on-one on the hardwood. I'm a few years younger than he, but 5'10", white, and with no vertical to speak of. I can still get high enough to score close to the basket off the dribble, but can barely get up when planted and jumping off two feet. Still, I'm deadly from about 14'-28', and can pull up when necessary.
I move well laterally, can rebound with people four inches taller than me, and nobody gets away with a crossover against me. I can also play surprisingly good D in the post against bigger opponents.
My prediction if I were to play the President in a game to 21: I'd win by a count of 21-9. He'd keep it close while I felt him out early, but at about 12-9, I'd finish him off with a barrage of 3's (worth 2 in 1-on-1 play), and easy drives to the basket. I might try to back him down and overpower him down on the block for the final point, just for good measure.
So whaddaya say Mr. Prez, are you up to my challenge?
BTW, trash talk is welcome whether you actually intend to take my up on the challenge or not.
