I remember reading a couple of weeks ago an ESPN article on the impact of Obama on black athletes, and a quote from Ray Allen in that article. I was reminded because last night my friends were naming our All-Smooth Team (which Ray Allen is of course the captain of) and we all agreed that President of Basketball Operations for that team should definitely be Barack Obama. If that jump shot isn’t smooth I don’t know what is (check it for yourself below). So of course Ray Allen is going to be a Barack Obama supporter – it’s not because he’s a black athlete, it’s because Barack Obama taught him how to shoot! And if that doesn’t make Obama the coolest president ever, then putting a basketball court in the White House surely does.
