Barack Obama, the free world's new leader and apparently an advocate of this "change" thing, has gained notoriety for his ability to play basketball. Saying hoops was a platform for his campaign may be a stretch, but it was certainly emphasized. However, despite his on-court talents, Kevin Johnson, mayor of Sacramento, and a decent basketball player in his own right, isn't that impressed with the new President. In fact, he called him out recently in a CBS interview, saying he would "skunk" Obama and that the Prez' "first mistake" in office would be to challenge him.

Thanks Kevin Johnson. lets stop all of our momentum to watch you "skunk" Obama. It shows how much you care about the free world. Plus, If we did have to watch Obama play bball with someone, it probably wouldnt be you.

Of course, Kevin Johnson should beat Barack Obama in a basketball game. If no, it's a sad indictment on a former multiple NBA all-star playing against someone who was a bench player in high school.

The question KJ needs to ask himself is why in the world is taking that question so seriously. The tone in his voice sounds like someone pissed off.

KJ you need to stand your ground. I understand where you are coming from. Barack is all hype and something different. You are real and proven. Just wait and see what he does or doesn't do. JUST DO IT!

Obama would be out of his mind to play KJ. KJ use to kill Magic Johnson when they play against each other in the NBA. KJ left too soon. I think Barkley is the reason KJ left basketball. KJ was the best player on that Phoenix team. I give KJ all of my respect for what he does in his hometown. He used a lot of his money building education centers. This guy was a true baller in the NBA. I can't say anything bad about KJ. Obama plays pick-up ball, KJ played NBA ball. There's a big difference. I don't want to see him Dunk on the President. That Ain't Right.
