Basketball legend Michael Jordan
recently took a jab at US President Barack
Obama, and it wasn’t about his governing skills.
In an interview last week with Back9Networks'
Ahmad Rashad, the former NBA star was asked
who would comprise his "dream" golf foursome.
Jordan, who is an avid golfer picked Obama as
one of his team members and then retracted that
decision calling the president a ‘hack’.
When Rashad asked him if he really wanted to
say that about the President of the United States,
he simply shot back saying, “I never said he’s
wasn’t a great politician, I just said he’s a s*****
golfer.”
Obama appeared on a radio show where the
question about Jordan did come up.
To that the President replied rather tactfully and
said that the sports star wasn’t ‘well informed’
about his (Obama's) golfing skills.
He went on to say that he is sure Michael was a
better golfer than he was, adding, "Of course if I
was playing twice a day for the last 15 years,
then that might not be the case."
While he was at it, he also suggested that the
Charlotte Hornets co-owner should spend more
time working on a team win. He ended the
interview in good spirits saying that he ‘loved the
man’ and that he brought the country a lot of
championships.
