Tonight on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel: "As Sen. Barack Obama continues his campaign for the Democratic Party presidential nomination, his every move is scrutinized in detail. To truly understand this rising political star, however, it's essential to understand the importance of basketball in shaping his identity. From Obama's childhood, to his high-school years on the Punahou School basketball team in Honolulu, to the pickup games he's played at every stage of his life since then, the sport has helped forge many of the important connections in his life today. REAL SPORTS host Bryant Gumbel sits down with the lifelong hoops lover, providing a rare look at this side of Obama's personality in a feature that includes footage of the presidential hopeful in action on the court."

When I play rock, paper, scissors, I keep a glass of water in my hand and when my opponent throws down I throw the water in his face and say "Water". Beats all three, scissors can't cut-it, paper dissolves and the rock sinks. Plus it usually surprises the hell out of them.

Excuse me, he is an elitist. I think they meant to say he played polo growing up.

Obama has a smooth stroke. I have seen video of him shooting hoops before. He has a good jumper.
