Basketball
David Zinczenko, editor-in-chief of Men’s Health and editorial director of Women’s Health magazines:
Zinczenko predicts president-elect Barack Obama will bring basketball back to the forefront after several dark years.
“You have a group of high-profile basketball players in the White House, and you’re going to see Obama and his team playing ball the way you saw Bush clearing brush and Clinton jogging the streets,” he says.
Basketball will be seen as an upscale, sophisticated sport played by accomplished people, as it was in the early ’90s, he said. Back then, there were high-profile stars like Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, and people like Clarence Thomas and Al Gore played the sport.
