Give it a rest....Let us watch basketball without having Obama shoved down our throat. Who gives a s*** what the president thinks about basketball. He is no more credible on the subject than you or I.

Speaking of TNT-


can we take an over/under bet of how many episodes "Are we there Yet?" will air before it's eventual cancellation?

Not very classy or presidental talking about a Lakers-Boston finals when the series are not over yet.

Likable guy huh?

Nice trolling

my knee surgeon went to school with obama at columbia and said that "barry" (what he went by back in school) was the coolest person he knew at columbia (class of '83), but no one thought he would ever become president because he was so laid back. He said he actually had to look him up on google to make sure the same guy he knew in college was the guy running for president, since he had never heard Mr. Obama refer to himself as barack or be so serious on tv. I thought that was hilarious

but how is he unlikeable

He's a president. Every president is hated by half the country the moment they are elected.

Not a BO fan, but:

Did you play HS ball?
Did you play pick up games with NC?
Is your BIL a D1 Coach?
Can your wife dunk?

I have 1 of those four.

Obama sucks hairy donkey balls as President and at basketball opining...

there is no way Michelle Obama can dunk a basketball

I am more credible than him because he has an ugly shot

i would dominate him in a game, then teabag him

That was a joke.....however.....

He is a lefty, most of them have funny looking shots.

He beat Clark K in horse....add that to his list above.

I love it that we have a prez who follows basketball. Traditionally the commander in chief is a baseball guy. If you don't like him then so be it. He's every bit as credible as half the talking heads out there. I thought most of his comments last night were spot on.. all except for assuming the Lakers and Celts were locks to meet up in the Finals. And even then he's not alone. The jackhole celts fans were wearing Beat LA t-shirts.

My only question is when the hell does the potus have time to watch basketball? He must get dvds of games and fly through them commercial free while jetting around in Airforce One.

If he loves basketball so much he should have been NBA commissioner. Apparently he'd be much better at replacing the Hammer of Stern then he is at being POTUS.

the guy knows nothing about sports if you've seen him fill out his NCAA brackets

anyone who thinks what he says on sports are his own opinions is delusional

guy is a can't hack it pantywaste who wears his mothers bra

he is full of sh*t anytime he opens his mouth about any subject....if anyone believes that he "knows" sports, I assume you've been duped by many people in your life.

take it to the politics board...the guy is a basketball fan...jesus...

The guy is NOT Jesus!!!

He is a huge sports fan. Grew up a devoted White Sox fan. Just don't ask him to name anyone who ever played for the Chi Sox... but he's a really big fan, though!

How is me posting this on a sports board any different than TNT bringing politics into sports? He is obviously every bit as polarizing as Bush was, so why even put him on the forefront of a sporting event that has nothing to do with politics? I'd ask the Suns owner the same question, regarding the immigration issue. No point in pissing off at least half of your fans by taking a political side.

and by half your fans, you mean 70%

dumbasses on this board. he is a basketball fan, he is the president of the us. its cool. its cool that he knows a lot about the teams and players. its cool that he knows about john wall. its cool to have a president who can relate tot he average guy on certain things.

let it go. this is not about his politics. this is about the president being a sports fan and being very interested in basketball. thats it. TNT did not ask him about healthcare. TNT did not ask him about foreign policy. they asked him about bball.

Dumbass tsip. It's not cool. It's annoying.

This jackoff has been injected into the sports world like I've never seen. Do you not remember Katie Couric laying up HC reform before the Super Bowl? Nope, no agenda there. Or hearing him opine about March Madness while shooting hoops in Chapel Hill?

Who gives a **** if he likes basketball. He's not the first president sports fan. If there was any kind of modesty to his exposure it wouldn't be half bad. But it's every event, every major sport.

I'm with the OP. The fact that he's a complete failure and has power over the free world really just makes it more insulting when he's given a significant voice in the sports world too.

Bush was a big baseball guy, but you didn't see tv stations interviewing him before the World Series. It's bogus that obama gets so much tv time at sporting events. We all know he's doing it so he can come across as "one of us" and all that b.s. But you know what, I don't care if I can relate to our president or not. What I care about is will he do his job and do what's best for our country and represent us well. obama needs to worry about that instead of whether or not we like him. Plus, I get sick of seeing his dang face every time I try to watch a sports event. Let me watch my sports in peace without having to be reminded about the downfall of our country.

He is a fraud....I'm glad most of you realize that.

And Bush OWNING a baseball team makes him more of a "sports guy" than Obama. I'm sure t-sip fan would love to see Bush as a regular on ESPN baseball telecasts.

The reason it is so annoying is because I don't believe for a second he is this great sports fan he and the media make him out to be. After that embarrassing incident where he couldn't name a singe White Six player on his supposed favorite team it is clear this is fraudulent. I couldn't care less if likes sports or not, but quit being a fake.

It is appropriate, too.

longhorn, quit trying to present logic to this board...you should know better.

What was more funny was when he went bowling to prove what an "average Joe" he is.. His bowling score was in the 30s. My wife, who bowls the ball with two hands at times, scores significantly higher than that.

I will agree he does suck epicly at bowling. I couldn't be that bad if I tried.

The blind hatred some americans have for their president never ceases to amaze me. Clinton, Bush, Obama... It makes no difference. Blind, irrational hate.
