Obama does stand out in an unphotoshopped image, as he's the only black guy and in the middle, but it looks like that version was cropped, leaving out part of the team.
The part about how this version differs from Dreams is revealing. It makes it a little more likely that Obama told or roughly jotted down his life story for a ghost who shaped it into the book that was actually published.
Or was Obama savvy enough to realize on his own that the story of a boy who loved pot and basketball wasn't going to sell (if he didn't make it to the NBA)?
