The mainstream media likes to tout Obama as a great athlete, and that he played basketball at Occidental college. There is no record of him being associated with the Occidental basketball team. It's a myth. Obama's jump shot is poor. He can't bend his knees and he can't maneuver. He doesn't jump, and his release point is sadly low, at the level of his head. When Obama threw out the first pitch at a baseball game, it was a weak pitch and it was way out of the strike zone.
