Knicks’ Chris Duhon Weighs In On Obama’s Hoop Game

Posted by Juan

Says the presidential hopefull is a “trash talker”

On the eve of the NBA’s opening night and just a weak shy of the highly anticipated Presidential election day, New York Knicks point guard Chris Duhon sat down with MSG and says he’s played pickup basketball with Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama before, and the candidate talks much trash on the court.

When asked about specifics, Duhon replied that the candidate would say, “‘You can’t guard me!’ Just random talk,” Duhon replied. “He knows the game. He’s like a point guard out there, and so he’s always telling guys where to go, what to do, very vocal.”

No word on if Obama ever let lose a few profanities or dirty fouls however when asked who won the head to head matchups Duhon replied, “he may be running for president, but I’m not going to let him win, not going to take it easy on him. I don’t take it easy on anyone.”

Its always funny to me hearing about Obama hoop. Remember that video where he visited the troops in Iraq and they were in a gym and he shot a three pointer. Then a young female soldier came over to him and said “do it again”. And he did it again.

Yeah its not like Clinton with the jogging or the sax. Obama likes to ball. His running partner/ body man was a former Duke standout. I like that about him.
