If Barack Couldn't Do it, How Could I?

A guest post by Brad. If Ryan "Archie" Miller didn't immediately come to mind for you either, don't sweat it.

You often hear coaches talk about players with heady games. They may not have the raw talent, but they see the floor, read the defense, are a step ahead of everybody else, and make great decisions. Smallish guards like Steve Wojoadflkadsfakfh or Ryan "Archie" Miller come to mind.

You would imagine that Barack Obama, clearly one of the more intelligent human beings out there, would be able to excel as one of these types of players. He had a passion for basketball and the brightest of minds. Seems like a recipe for the ultimate cerebral PG. Even Duhon gives him his props. Yet he didn't graduate past the high school basketball level.

Did he not commit himself to the game enough? I don't know, but if Barack Obama could not make it as a heady player, it seems that the average joe, without physical gifts, is up against enormous obstacles.
