Kevin Johnson, the new mayor of Sacramento, had some choice words for President Barack Obama the other day. We all know Obama plays ball, and KJ is a 3-time NBA All-Star and a 5-time member of the All-NBA Team, but this was a little harsh.
What do you think? Would KJ skunk Obama in a game of one-on-one?

probably.

Big Sneezy says:
KJ would skunk him. But KJ might also want to think about the federal dollars his city ain’t gonna get if he keeps moving his lips.

GEE...From pasadena to medina says:
YES you can look at KJ and tell he still got a lot left. He would serve Mr. President for real, and throw in some dunks too. Probably bout 1 or 2 of those.
Obama is smart though, he would team up with KJ and beat the stew out of somebody before letting KJ get him 1 on 1 I think.

Spliff 2 My Lou says:
He’d beat him no doubt but I don’t think he’d skunk him.

control says:
Will Smith would beat Obama 1on1…KJ would destroy em.
I’d probably crush Obama…the guy is in his 40s and now has the weight of the nation on his shoulders. That don’t make for improving your ball game.

Bill Bixby says:
Obama knows KJ would take him. So it would never happen. He admitted being no competition when he played with the Tarheal squad during the campaign. I’m pretty sure a retired NBA star would give him run as well. KJ has to pick up the rock here and there at least. How could you not?

The Real Tyrone says:
KJ ain’t nutting but a overrated baller and politician ya’ll – dude ain’t got no ability in anything. He ain’t nothing but a fatcat and cat’s gotta learn how to shut his fat mouth and show some respek. Hate punkass brothers like him.
True thugs NEVER lie.

Kudabeen says:
KJ is talking himself out of a connection…just dumb. But people say Obama talks a lot of trash on the court and is a confident baller. KJ needs to do more than toss sound bites out there about how he is better than Obama at BBall…No kidding? He should just beg to be invited into the inner circle of “ball players”…It’s pretty lame.
I say that because this is like the third time I’m seeing KJ talk about this.
side note: Can you really be tired of balling? A lot of the former professionals don’t even try to play anymore…That is crazy. I would think it would be more like gun slingers. So young gun calls you out, then you have to be ready to “learn them a lesson”…After being paid you can’t just play for free? Interesting…

Yup, KJ might be a better baller but look who is at the top of the Game and the other is a mayor of a po-dunk town.

Ansonious says:
There all about making money on Obama’s name ever since he decided to run for president, why not have some cheap pay per view special I’m sure more than half of America would buy it I know I would, and of coarse it should be donted to charities of the winners choosing. It’s not that bad of an idea I mean come on man if people will pay $20 for a shitty plate w his picture on it why not, if Obama admits he’s no competition what does he honestly have to lose, and plus KJ is just campaigning to try and bring money to his broke ass state. But to answer the ? yeah I think KJ would destroy then again Jordan got beat by some out old ass ceo so stranger things have happened. I’m out like people caring about my opinion peace!

KJ will also out-sexual harass Obama too. And then cover it up. he should mention that.

Of course. What nonsense. Come on now. KJ is a basketball player trying to play politics; Obama is a politician trying to play basketball.

KJ was lame back in the day – he still is,
Dude has some jacked up teeth too! – He needs to stick to hawkin those ugly ass Cons he used to pimp out,
Dude is clearly longing for his glory days – and by that I mean Alpha Dog and the Bulls punching Phoenix in the mouth,
Weak clip from KJ

Chaos says:
KJ would kill obama but i dont know about skunk. obama would be launching three pointers cuz he dont have the handles to get close to the basket. but because he is putting at court at the white, i see economic and national policy be discussed ina game of 3-on-3. think about it. the best conversations and debates are had in these 3 places: the barbershop, the pool hall over a game of 8-Ball and the bball court. get bill bradley old ass out there too while ya at.

This could be the dumbest question that has ever been asked on the Dime website. KJ would destroy Obama.

@ Kermit: it means Kj will win while, at the same time, not allow mr Obama to score any points

SayItAintSo says:
@ Tyrone KJ is a Baller (make note of the uppercase B)
Obama is a POLITICIAN who happened to play basketball at a marginally competitive level over a decade ago. Clearly, no one wants KJ running the country but I’d rather have him balling to save my life if it came down to a game of one on one.
Accurate scholars often tell the truth

Joeman says:
In a one-on-one, yeah KJ would get him. Put staff against staff and the President and crew would shut him out! I know Arne Duncan is a baller for real!
