Obama "Has a good crossover dribble and a decent mid-range jump shot"
Just watching CSPAN and Greg Dingens (Harvard classmate) said that about Barak's college B-Ball game.

I love little human tidbits like this. :)

2. Of course, that was before all those years of smoking may have slowed him down!
He might get better, though--on the patch, irritable as hell, he might take it aggressively to the basket and do a little Larry Bird-Shaquille O'Neill style slamming!

Wonder how his golf swing is? If it's better than the "hack of the Monkey" (Now, watch this drive) that should be worth at least five points in the polls...

4. Back in the day, I could take him..
Edited on Sat Feb-10-07 12:48 PM by FogerRox
I could dunk, dribble & shoot leftie and rightie, crossover from either side, had a good stutter step move & I move well away from the ball. and a decent 23 ft jumper, as well as a fade away. @ 5"11' 165 #. I am now 170 # @ 49 yrs old. SO I could take Barack even now. COME ON DUDE, lets throw down, one on one half court, I'll smoke ya.

Oh wait, thats not the point.....




Oh & my 1 Iron is good for 220 to 240 yds.

5. You realize that is a racist comment don't you.
:spank: It may be subconscious, but talking about the basketball skills of a black guy.

8. No, and your response is pure bullshit..
I'm not a racist, nor is the (white) friend of Obama's who said it. Basketball is basketball regardless of who's playing the game.

Now, your response on the other hand..

7. You obviously didn't see it...
It may be subconscious, but talking about the basketball skills of a black guy.

He was saying he met Obama while playing basketball...

11. Let's hope his perimeter defense is good too. Gonna need it.
Defense wins championships.

Hope he's good in the clutch, too.

I love sports cliches.
