Obama shoots, but doesn't score
Watch Obama play basketball with some UNC players.
(CNN) - Barack Obama is known for his strong basketball skills, but the Illinois senator proved no match for the UNC Tar Heels Tuesday.
Obama practiced with the team for several minutes Tuesday morning, often struggling to keep pace with the Final Four-team and failing to sink a basket - at least when the cameras were turned on.
“These guys are a lot better than me,” Obama said as he was running down the full length of the court and trying to keep pace with the Division I players, including Tyler Hansbrough, the national player of the year.
At one point, Coach Roy Williams scolded his players for not guarding the presidential candidate.
“You guys are leaving the next president of the United States wide open,” Williams joked.
Obama took a couple of shots, but neither fell through. His campaign says he did make a three-pointer after reporters were escorted off the court.

So this is supposed to be news?
Man, CNN has been on an Obama-bash for several days now. Gotta love it. The fair, unbiased reporting is refreshing...
Looks fit and agile, might be a good role model for all of our fat BIG GULP sipping kids in America.....or we can follow the Hillary Clinton example by lying, cheating and do whatever it takes to achieve your goals...
Todays "media" (more like entertainment) really pisses me off.
And the ignorance of some Americans who buy this crap, infuriates me.
Maybe we deserve everything we are getting for being so dumb.
Coach Williams was correct in his description: "the next President of the United States". Under fire, Senator Obama keeps his cool and continues to relate to THE PEOPLE.
Obama 08!
This headline just shows the media bias that the media has had against Obama since the SNL skit.
What does this have to do with anything?
Obama '08
Yes, Obama you find time to play hoops but you don't have time to debate. What a whimp!!
I'd love to see Hillary's lard-butt out on a basketball court.
Hey CNN – why don't you tell us about THE NEWS OF THE DAY –
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has requested nearly $2.3 billion in federal earmarks for 2009, almost three times the largest amount received by a single senator this year. Isn' it more important than how much Obama scored on the court?
Obama is a joke.
As a 39 year old guy in decent shape and plays basketball on a regular, let me tell you it's no day in the park trying to run with 18-20 something year olds. I feel your pain Obama but we are in denial about getting old and our glory days on the court aren't we!
Do you ice your knees after you finish playing too? LMAO!!
Smart coach. Let the "next president of the United States" win will ya!
GO OBAMA

Go back to College Obama... You Can Run, But, You're Brains out of Wacki.

YES WE CAN....
Noticed the subtle jab in the headlines..."doesn't score" nice slant here again........must be nice, run a broke campaign but have everybody else do it for you, love those connections
I don't think the Clintons are racists.
I don't think Geraldine Ferraro is racist.
But the Obama campaign used the strategy of hate to advantage Obama.
What goes around, comes around.
Watch the strategy of hate backfire to disadvantage Obama with Rev. Wright.
