Obama Would Sign with the Spurs If He Were a Free Agent

Former President Barack Obama is the true OG. Like, he would sign with the Spurs type of OG.

At a speaking event at the MIT Sports Analytics Conference (fancy), Obama was asked what NBA team he would choose to meet with if, as an All-Star, he was going to be a free agent in the summer.

He answered by listing what he looks for in a team, and ultimately felt that our very own Spurs best embodied what he was looking for.
"They're smart, they're well-run, they're focused on team. They treat everybody in the organization with respect and that is the kind of organization that I want to be a part of," Obama said. "So I would say over the last 15 years in basketball, San Antonio would be a great example of that."

Shucks! Obama was sure to throw in a bit of shade about all of the Kawhi Leonard drama going on.

But he made up for it with more compliments.

"But if look at what they built, it’s just a smart, well run operation with a good culture and it takes not just All-Stars, but people nobody saw coming and molds them into a great team," Obama said.

Obama also attributed the team's success to retired legend Tim Duncan.

"Hall of Fame player, but if Popovich yelled at him, he took it because he understood he had a role to play," Obama said.

We have a feeling head coach Gregg Popovich won't write him off completely. At 56 years old, Obama would probably be in his prime in Spurs years.

Fast-forward to 46:15 to hear all of Obama's remarks.
