An Analysis of President-Elect Barack Obama....

's basketball game:

in response to the election results, and with all due respect, here's a non-partisan scouting report on President-elect Barack Obama's hoop game.

He can jump, run, and shows adhesive hands. The future president also has good court-awareness and will unselfishly deliver passes to the right players in the right places at the right times. His on-court joy, exuberance and celebrity obviously enliven the games in which he plays and inspire his teammates.

However, his defense relies on ball-hawking and is therefore somewhat shoddy. Plus, he's not much of a banger.

Also, he's totally left-handed — so much so that he probably has to water his right hand three times every day just to keep it functional.

But the worst aspect of his game is his jump shot. There's a hitch in his shot preparation, which makes his ultimate release point much too low. The result being that he tends to front-rim too many shots.

Anyway, forget about all of that political stuff. It's wonderful to have a genuine hooper in the White House.
