President Barack Obama's second term in office is almost complete, leaving many to wonder what he will do when he leaves office in January. It appears the 44th President might be taking his talents to the NBA.

Press secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday that Obama, an unabashed sports fan, has "discussed" joining an ownership group for an NBA franchise. But Earnest also added that Obama would move forward only "under the right circumstances."

Oh this is a great idea. A man who has never run a business is going to put up his own money to . . run a business!

That makes sense. He wouldn’t have to hire any whiteys for the franchise.

“It might do him some good. It would be the first time in his life he ever had to manage people and run an enterprise for profit. If he has a shred of intelligence (which I doubt), it might even open his eyes a little on just how destructive his policies have been”

OH PLEASE he would be a minority owner, no one would give him full reigns with all decisions of a true majority owner. And IF he was smart (not a given) he wouldn't want that because his ego cant handle epic failure which he would be.

Yeah, “joining an ownership group” is likely to mean he contributes his FAIR SHARE as determined by himself, in exchange for the supposed cache of his name. Gag.

How many books need to be sold for a billion dollars???

Teams cost from $1.4 billion up to $4.8 billion, depending on which one.

Hmmm...Looks like you would need to sell five books to get a good team.

Thanks for the stats Cementjungle. You're a timesaver!

Obama will get lucrative book deals, do-nothing board of director gigs on green energy companies he’s supported, lecture tour.

They paid Hillary $400,000 for a speech and hate her.

Obama will be billionaire in 20 years.

At least, I’ll know what team to cheer against in the slim chance that I watch an NBA game in the future.
