Obama vs. Schwarzenegger in A Game of One-on-One?
Could the Terminator pull it out?What would you do if you were taunted by the Terminator? Last night in Nevada, Arnold Schwarzenegger ridiculed Barack Obama at a McCain rally, calling him “scrawny” and saying the senator – and his ideas – need “pumping up.”
Backing up his boy like Ron Artest did with Yao Ming, Obama strategist David Axelrod shot back – challenging Mr. Universe to a game of hoops.
“I’ve looked at the [poll] numbers in California,” he said. “Seems like our ideas are doing a lot better than his. It’s not how thick your legs are, it’s the tone.
“Maybe when this is over we can get Gov. Schwarzenegger on the basketball court and see what he can do,” he said.
Already knowing that Obama can ball, who do you think would win?

If there’s a ref:
Obama.
If it’s streetball:
Arnold wins by default when he snaps Obama’s neck.

Michorizo says:
Ive seen Arnold in Sac before and he is not tall at all. I bet he is no taller than 5’7

Dagomar says:
Arnold is 6’1″ if I’m not mistaken – although he’s pretty old and slow now I bet, and being too big doesn’t help you out in basketball anyway. Obama wins it like he’ll win this election.

Michorizo says:
he is not 6’1″. I am 6’0″ and I was taller

David Brandon says:
aron,
come on maaaaannnnn… lol you know “barry” would win. thats not even fair comp. thats like putting an 8th grader on the mound w/ jake peavy or something. haha
and i think michorizo’s right…he’s not that tall. i’ve seen him before at the capitol.

Ian is an AI hater.
And Arnold needs to shut up with all that talk, he needs to come back to California and take care of business because he is a terrible.

dagood says:
i’m not even sure if arnold would win in a street fight any more. He ain’t in the shape he used to be…
November 1st, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Dagomar says:
I’ll say this about Arnold’s height: off the top of my head isn’t he like 60? You don’t stand as tall as you used to at that age.

Ian says:
hater
i like iverson but how the hell can u say size doesnt matter in basketball of all sports hehehe.
arnold is 6’1 hes just a bit shorter than i am.

jeremy says:
theres no way arnold can string three consecutive dribbles together

control says:
Arnold is shrinking or something than. I’m 6’8 and could have sworn I was almost a foot taller than him. I’d place him about 5’10, he was also wearing dress shoes and I was wearing basketball ones. He’s wide as fuck though.
Obama would definitely win 1on1…Arnold would be slower than Sabonias.

knocks says:
Arnold doesn’t even play ball…
Just because someone LOOKS athletic doesn’t mean they can play a sport. Take D-Wade, for example….Did you see him throw that opening pitch a couple of months back???

dat dood says:
arnold is pretty strong guys… have you ever seen commando???? he ripped a pipe off the wall and threw it through a guys chest!!!!
now imagine what he would do on the basketball court…
i say that in a one on one game to 11, obama is leading 9 to 3 and arnold grabs such a ferocious rebound that the ball explodes and obama wins by default.

Yuji says:
I say the game won’t finish. Obama gets himself flattened once he begins smack talking the governator.

NYK fan says:
i have actually seen arnold play ball before, he has actually practiced, he can even put the ball inbetween his legs, but he shoots worse than shaq’s FT%. He can post and make layups, but thats about it. I would like Obama to win, but dont turn the ball over cuz if he do; he’s FINISHED

Where the hell could you have seen Arnold play ball?
