links to a NYT story on Obama and pick up b-ball. Great press and a fun read. I especially like the comparisons between the BS sports played by former Presidents and hopefulls (sailing, wind surfing, etc.) and this.

I like the synecdoche here:
- Mr. Robinson, now the coach of Brown University’s men’s team, said the 6-foot-2 senator is too skinny to be an imposing presence, but he is fast, with good wind even when he was a smoker. Mr. Obama is left-handed, and his signature move is to fake right and veer left, surprising players used to guarding right-handed competitors.
