Obama’s Got Game

Screw the bowling thing: Obama’s got game.

Bryant Gumbel, of HBO’s Real Sports, interviews Barack Obama on how basketball has impacted his life. Includes footage of Obama in a pickup game with some servicemen (and one amazingly muscular woman) at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.

Obama’s team wins with the Senator getting 5 points, 4 assists, 2 turnovers, a block and a steal.

  1. I never did get the “Obama’s a wuss because he doesn’t bowl” line. Bowling’s for alcoholics and guys too out-of-shape to play golf.

  2. And golf isn’t a real sport anyway. If it was, it’d have offense and defense. You know, someone hiding behind a tree, knocking your golfball into the water.

  3. That would at least make it worth watching.
