All college basketball players.

Susan Rice?  High school basketball star.

Also, Marvin Nicholson and Reggie Love are part of Obama's traveling staff.


Will there be some pick up games at cabinet meetings you think?


Update:  Add Arne Duncan

I can't believe Reggie Love was playing in college in 2005, the dude looks old!  But he's Obama main basketball stressball.  I read an NYT article on the guy and he seemed genuinely nice, so I shall wish him the best from the internet.

I remember Reggie Love when he played for Duke. He looks like he's had a lot of stress recently.

it'd be funny to see a game between Obama's cabinet and the Oklahoma City Thunder

I wonder how Obama's cabinet appointees would do against the Dallas Mavericks of 1993-1994? Could they perhaps do any worse than the Mavericks from the Lone Star State?

Bump.

Obama's new Education Secretary is another former basketball star.
