Obama’s final four picks were that tight?

They already have the part down about leading from behind!

Walton must have banged his head on the hard court a few too many times.

He’s a big lefty. He supported the SLA back when they “kidnapped” Patty Hearst.

I’d love it, especially if he posted a dismal record (as I’d expect) and had team drama in the locker-room to boot.

Go for it. I’d love to see him blame Bush, Trump, and anyone else when he fails.

I can imagine Obama telling his quarterback how to hold the ball. Obama has a lot of experience holding balls.

Big problem might be when Obama takes a knee. All the players would run for the fences.

LOL! Valerie Jarrett would need to be assistant coach. And they would need a skybox for Barky’s mother-in-law.

I just learned today:

Obama has that 10 foot wall around his house, right?

And a guard shack, yes.

And traffic on BOTH sides of his street are coned off by the cops 1,000 FEET IN BOTH DIRECTIONS..!

And they have yuge concrete bollards set up, too.

It’s like some kind of military encampment, his DC home.

Walton years ago lost whatever tiny little vestigial mind he may once have had.

Bill Walton is also alert to racial injustices in America. “I don’t blame the blacks for hating the whites,” he says. “They’ve gotten such a raw deal for so long.”

I can’t recall the details but he was associated with the most radical leftists in his day.
