Above: Obama cannot escape his past as a pickup artist  

A while back there was a great one-on-one pickup basketball game between one of Sports Illustrated’s best writers and presidential candidate Barack Obama. Apparently, Obama’s got game, as they say.

There are all sorts of stories about Barack playing hoops out there, but this is the best that Fantivity has seen. Check it out. How would you like it if your president could dunk on you? Nobody’s had to answer that question since the Jimmy Carter administration.
