Obama Likely to be Presidential Nominee, 1st Pick in 2008 NBA Draft

Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. impressed Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves scouts this afternoon in South Carolina after daring him to make a 3 pointer. Without warming up, Obama took three dribbles, squared up, and sank the shot on his first attempt. "People were skeptical," said the confident Air Hussein "first shot...straight through...I've got skills".

Heat Vice President of Player Personnel Chet Kammerer said, "Barack had a really great workout today -- [he] really showed he can play under pressure. We're last in the league in points per game right now; we could certainly use some help on offense."

"He's a once-in-a-lifetime guy," commented Jim Stack, the Timberwolves GM. "I've coached no one that compares to him. He's got a great shot and can finish drives with both his left and right hand."

Neither team would comment on possible contract negotiations, though both stated that they are interested in what Obama could bring to their respective franchises.
