    Indianapolis Star -
    Barack Obama has plans to replace the White House bowling alley with a basketball court, if he's elected in November.

    "There's not only a chance (that he'll have one built), but it's a guarantee," Obama said Monday on WFNI 1070 The Fan.

    The candidate described himself as "a slasher, a three, maybe a poor man's Scottie Pippen or Tayshaun Prince -- a guy like that without as much talent." [READ]

    I like this initiative also!

    (Way to get a ringer in Calbert Cheaney, though!)

    Obama to Reward Students Who Register Others to 3-on-3 Basketball

    Barack Obama will play three-on-three with students — and possibly a former Indiana University basketball star — as he taps the state’s rich basketball tradition to help get out the vote for next month’s primary.

    An 18-year-old high school student who registers 20 people to vote will choose two students to help challenge the Democratic presidential candidate on the court, said Kevin Griffis, a spokesman for Obama’s campaign in Indiana. If the winning student decides not to play, he or she can choose all three players.

    Obama’s team could include Calbert Cheaney, a former NBA player and NCAA basketball player of the year, and a college student who registers 30 new voters.

    “We just were looking for a way to engage young people,” Griffis said. “There simply is no better state to do this sort of thing than Indiana, where basketball is important to so many communities across the state.” ...

    The game would be held at the winning 18-year-old’s high school on a date to be determined, and likely be played according to standard three-on-three rules, in which the first team to reach 11 points wins, Obama’s campaign said.

    Reggie Love is his assistant. Former Duke football WR / basketball PF. He tried to make the NFL with the Packers, then went back to Duke for one last year of eligibility in basketball before graduating with a poli sci degree. Now he works out with Obama regularly in addition to his other duties as an assistant on the campaign trail.

    Obama's biggest campaign mistake: linking himself to Scottie Pippen. He would have been better off describing himself as the T-Mac of his high school team.
