Barack Obama and the viral video where he chooses his ideal historical starting five
The former President of the United States demonstrates his passion for basketball by explaining the reason he selects his five favorite players.
Whenever iconic figures from around the world speak of basketball and showcase their knowledge, the NBA is solidified in its ambition to become one of the most followed competitions globally. There is no better possible ambassador than Barack Obama, whose expertise is unquestionable with a video in which he selects his ideal starting five in NBA history.
Few United States presidents have been as openly passionate about basketball and involved in promoting the NBA as Barack Obama was during his presidency. He has continued to do so afterward, being seen at various games, maintaining a close relationship with some stars, and speaking candidly about basketball whenever he has the chance.
In a recent video, while promoting the Netflix documentary "Starting 5," Obama analyzes the characteristics of each of the players he selects. Perhaps his most controversial choice is Stephen Curry as the point guard over Magic Johnson. Apart from that, he names Hakeem Olajuwon as the starting center, and later picks Kevin Durant, Lebron James, and Michael Jordan for the perimeter. It's worth examining his arguments.
From one basketball fan to the next, I hope you enjoy @HGMedia's docuseries – Starting 5 – which is streaming now on @Netflix.
