Barack Obama Has Fantasized About Being NBA GM

[Sportsguy9695]

The presidency of Barack Obama is entering the final year and he was asked if he would have interest in being part of an ownership group of an NBA team.
"Absolutely," said Obama.
Obama closely follows the NBA and is a fan of the Chicago Bulls.
"Well, you know, I know [Jerry] Reinsdorf pretty good—he’s not giving that thing up anytime soon. But I have fantasized about being able to put together a team and how much fun that would be. I think it’d be terrific."

That article says owner. 
 
Obama isn't nearly rich enough to own a team though. He could be apart of an ownership group I guess, but 1% of a team these days would cost around 10 million, and his net worth is reported at 7 million

Think anyone would hire the man as GM?

 

[RipCity32]

I wouldn't. I think that would probably be a trainwreck lol

He can't possibly do worse than Billy King

 

[Bengals1Fan]

From a PR point he'd bring a lot of attention, but I think if he's serious about it he needs to try to look past the Chicago Bulls lol
 
Maybe a shittier team will take him.

I could totally see him as a possible NBA Commissioner, I think he would do a great job for the game of basketball

Adam Silver got that on lock for a while. The one commissioner who isn't hated. Incoming lockout could change that tho

 

[Rios15]

Yeah I'm actually a fan of Adam silver. He's had to deal with some big issues in his first seasons too and handled them well imo
