Robert Griffin III Wants to Play Some Hoops with President Obama

Found November 28, 2012 on FootBasket:
PLAYERS: Barack Obama,  Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Robert Griffin III is on top of the world right now. He’s been in all the commercials, he’s bringing the Washington Redskins away from mediocrity and has a shot at winning the Rookie of the Year and even the MVP award. Now some people are going to new heights by labeling RGIII as “Black Jesus”, “the Messiah” or that he runs Washington D.C. Griffin may not necessarily want to run D.C. on a full-time basis, but he says he would like to play President Barack Obama in a game of basketball. “He just talked about how good of a player I was, and I challenged him to game of basketball,” Griffin told Yahoo! News. “He said he wouldn’t play me but I could play on his team.” “I don’t think he’ll ever play against me. We’ll have it me and him versus Brittney Griner and Mrs. Obama.” Stay focused, be patient and keep winning games young man, and you’ll get your game.
