MVP: Most Valuable President
He Got Game
The brand new president of the United States of America: Barack Obama, as you certainly know except if ou live on Jupiter was elected on the 4th of november. There's something you might don't know about him. Have you heard about the Punahou Buff n' Blue's? No...
Barack was a baller, Barack is still a baller. He was already a leader in his team, a « clutch player »as he says. He got his fair-play since he was a basket-ball player, and that was a real passion
for him. Obama was a leader on the court and off-court. Dan Hale, ex-teammate of Punahou tells about him: « If he missed, he'd be the first guy following his shot. ». Here is the proof of his abnegation and determination. Hope he'll have the same qualities in politics...
We saw his sense of the show during the campaign,same as he had when he was younger. His coach wanted him to play a classic way. But Barack was fond of spin moves and behind-the-back passes. He made most of his friends on the playgrounds.
When he came back from Indonesia, he moved to Hawaii and that was the beginning of his love for this game. « There was a court nearby my grandmother's apartment, and some older guys would help me out, give me some tips. ». Basket-Ball was a kind of a get away for him when his father was not here.
Everybody hopes he'll become the Jordan of politics, that he'll dribble easily the financial crisis, that he'll block the war and aim at the rim of redemption. After walking down the floor of Punahou's court, he'll put his shoes on the White House's one.
Barack Hussein Obama will he be the Rookie of the year?
