Former President of the United States, Barack Obama, took his skills to the hardwood in “NBA 2K17” and straight up dominated folks.

At 6-foot-1, you understand that Barack Obama would be a point guard. Credit to the gamer who also made sure he was a lefty in the game (although, in the intro, he shot righty a few times). And yes, the No. 44 is appropriate, representing the 44th President of the United States.

Why, though, the Charlotte Hornets?

The man is from Chicago. He’s a Chicago White Sox fan and has professed his love for Chicago sports. Why is he not the point guard for the Chicago Bulls? Derrick Rose is gone, torturing us in New York, so the Bulls would have been the fit here.

And as far as the featured image with Obama dunking it all over Kyle O’Quinn and the New York Knicks … yes, it fits.
