Don’t sleep on Barry O!

[u/sucobe → u/ThunderBobMajerle]

[u/Soytaco → u/sucobe]

That's what I do!

[u/alfalfa-as-fuck → u/sucobe]

Now try it with a diaper full of shit

[u/lugnutter → u/alfalfa-as-fuck]

Oh please, do you think Mr draft dodging bone spurs ever shot a basket in his life? Too busy raping little kids.

[u/VoraciousChallenge → u/lugnutter]

I really think you're misinterpreting their comment.

[u/doctor_of_drugs → u/ThunderBobMajerle]

LBJ vs Obama one on one, who you got?

LBJ has the height and size advantage but Obama is the better shooter. It’d be like Shaq vs Steph

I’d say Obama

[u/sallysippin → u/doctor_of_drugs]

Lyndon B Johnson got ups, boyeee!

[u/frankunderwood1992 → u/doctor_of_drugs]

Are we talking Lyndon B Johnson or LeBron James? Lol

[u/finkalicious → u/frankunderwood1992]

Yes

[u/nowhereman136 → u/doctor_of_drugs]

Millard Fillmore was the only US president who could dunk a basketball

[u/Dorf_ → u/nowhereman136]

All the more impressive when you consider basketball hadn’t been invented in his lifetime

[u/gagreel → u/nowhereman136]

Not quite true, Rutherford B Hayes would often enter slam dunk contests but never won. His fingers touched the rim but his approach was all wrong

[u/sausage_ditka_bulls → u/doctor_of_drugs]

What about trump? He’s 6 foot 3 and in amazing shape

[u/Chakolatechip → u/sausage_ditka_bulls]

Idk man he got those bone spurs

[u/BigCommieMachine → u/sausage_ditka_bulls]

I might actually take Barron if he was ever allowed to pick up a basketball without being beaten with a golf club by his father because "That is a black man's sport"

[u/lford → u/sausage_ditka_bulls]

He's certainly a shape that is amazing

[u/WhiteLycan2020]

OBAMNA

[u/Fortunefavorstheco1d → u/WhiteLycan2020]

SODA!!!!

[u/MasterXander → u/Fortunefavorstheco1d]

😂

[u/Skimable_crude]

Isn't Punahou in Kenya? Gotcha, libs!

[u/mrkruk → u/Skimable_crude]

St Louis? In Hawaii? Oh, wait….

Well he wore a tan suit.

[u/turbor → u/Skimable_crude]

Kenya fit deez nutz in yo mouth?

[u/katelynnsmom24 → u/Skimable_crude]

Careful now. Until Reddit invents a sarcasm translator, this might not go down well.

[u/Skimable_crude → u/katelynnsmom24]

I definitely took a risk. For the most part, I think it worked.

[u/thomport → u/Skimable_crude]

I’m not worried about Kenya. I’m worry about – J6 child, rape, theft of classified documents for the Russians. That’s what I’m worried about.

[u/Rescuepets777 → u/Skimable_crude]

🧐🧐 What??

[u/zsaz_ch → u/Rescuepets777]

Trump heavily promoted the birther movement, saying Obama was born in Kenya to disqualify him from running for president.

[u/Rescuepets777 → u/zsaz_ch]

Yeah. I just can't believe that anyone is so stupid that they think this is a Kenyan school and ball team. Morons.

[u/Skimable_crude → u/Rescuepets777]

Whoosh!

[u/Objectionne]

Which one is he?

[u/A_Wholesome_Comment → u/Objectionne]

He's the one that wasn't on the Epstein list.

[u/thomport → u/Objectionne]

He’s the one without the heel spurs

[u/DanGleeballs → u/thomport]

I hope they’re all still buddies

[u/CurlSagan]

You forgot the WE GO PLAY HOOP image.

[u/Ambitious-Concern-42]

He seems relatively tall compared to the students around him. Was that the case?

[u/tripstermcgee808 → u/Ambitious-Concern-42]

It’s Hawaii, generally a shorter population compared to other states due to the Asian plurality.

[u/Ambitious-Concern-42 → u/tripstermcgee808]

Thanks. Setting that aside, there are also Caucasian students in the picture, who also look shorter.

[u/tripstermcgee808 → u/Ambitious-Concern-42]

Wouldn’t surprised if some are hapa or mixed like I am, but even in Hawaii caucasians tend to be a bit shorter. Different diets than the mainland was also what I’ve heard… This is all anecdotal so I could be off base here.

[u/Generalocity → u/Ambitious-Concern-42]

The taller guys were probably on the Varsity team

[u/BornImbalanced → u/Ambitious-Concern-42]

All the taller kids were on varsity

[u/ImaginaryWeather6164 → u/Ambitious-Concern-42]

Its a fake photo. There are plenty of real photos of him from this time period

[u/Airborne-Potato]

That’s MY president right there. I was in Afghanistan under his administration, we were a more cohesive and lethal force back then and I’m still in. 15 years and counting, I miss those years though.

[u/SOAR21 → u/Airborne-Potato]

It’s always concerning for civilians to think about how the military members feel about the political situation because things are trending towards a dramatic expansion of their domestic role.

Good to know we have sane people sticking around (don’t know much about your views but being able to speak respectfully and favorably about Obama tells me more than enough), hope there are a lot more of you.

[u/Tha_Watcher → u/Airborne-Potato]

[u/Elementium → u/Tha_Watcher]

Uncle Phil was a giant. 

[u/cdragon1983 → u/Elementium]

James Avery was somewhere around 6'4"-6'5".

[u/Few-Pineapple-2937]

I want to see Trump's photos of when he was on the girls ballet squad.

[u/HumongousBelly → u/Few-Pineapple-2937]

He couldn’t play that year because of bone spurs

[u/Sc_e1 → u/Few-Pineapple-2937]

Could probably find a image of him after he turned 50 with a girls ballet squad

[u/MisterPenguin42 → u/Few-Pineapple-2937]

I want to see Trump's photos of when he was on the girls ballet squad.

they won't release the Epstein files

[u/newshirtworthy]

All we have of our current president are a bunch of photos with Epstein

[u/captainobviouth]

Is that massive chin on #21 or an optical illusion?

[u/n_mcrae_1982]

Barry, I’ve come from the future to warn you: do NOT wear the tan suit!!!

[u/nicspace101]

How much would you pay to watch trump try to dribble a basketball? Priceless.

[u/BiBoFieTo]

🎵🎵 I'll be playin' basket ball with the president, dunkin' on his delegates 🎵🎵

[u/brian_gruen5 → u/BiBoFieTo]

DUNKING ON OPRAH, DUNKING ON THE PRESIDENT

[u/copperblood]

Representing the GOAT #23 ✊🏽

[u/TsunamaRama]

Trump couldn’t even hold a basketball

[u/talllongblackhair]

I know someone who went to high school with him. They said he was pretty unremarkable and hung out with the stoners and just played a lot of basketball. Apparently he was a nice guy but they never would have guessed he would be anything but a normal everyday person.

[u/Ok_Finance_8292]

Obama: Little did you know...I can hoop!

[u/theasianevermore]

He was the original #23

Edit: he not it… autocorrect

[u/IamYouamI123]

Hitting J’s and smoking J’s!

[u/RiseUpHunkerDown]

Hey my FIL was on that team! Sadly, he did not make the cut for this photo however

[u/ReadUWroteU14]

Honolulu, Africa*

[u/innerearinfarction]

He wasn't a great player, but kept him on the team for the epic pregame speeches

[u/RandyDefNOTArcher]

Love the videos of him playing basketball. He’s got a bit of swagger, and talks a very charismatic kind of shit.

[u/TheIncredibleMrJones]

After looking him up ,David Bromstad is a white guy from Minnesota. Swedish, German, and Norwegian descent.

[u/wclure]

The Audacity! Of Hoop. That’s a good book, I love it. Love that guy.

[u/RequirementGlum177]

JV? Scrub.

[u/Midnight1965]

Prez was a hoopster!

[u/Corgiboom2]

Oobeermer

[u/BigFatKi6]

[u/ABC_Dildos_Inc]

I didn't know he went to school with Helen Hunt.

[u/LemurMemer]

I need a “where are they now” of this photo, specifically for the bottom center guy giving main character energy

[u/Nice_Warm_Vegetable]

But what about 3’s foot there?

[u/Y0___0Y]

Obreezy

[u/LSTNYER]

We went from charisma as fuck, to fucked a 16 year old named Charisma.

[u/Guilty_Computer_5524]

Trump was under the bleachers with a 6th grader.

[u/therealsix]

Let him run again.

[u/Alienhaslanded]

I'm gonna need a red circle for this one

[u/TheIncredibleMrJones]

Why does the guy under Barrio look like the host of My Lottery Dream House?

[u/Elementium → u/TheIncredibleMrJones]

Never thought about it.. Is he mixed race? Kinda interesting. 

[u/mediocrelpn]

if he played basketball as well as he could pitch a baseball he was definitely a benchwarmer.

[u/wahsd]

He never had the makings of a varsity athlete

[u/MrZero3229 → u/wahsd]

I came here for this

[u/spaceninj]

Punahou is obviously a village in Kenya.

/MAGA

[u/ParfaitGlace]

World’s drippiest war criminal

[u/Foojira → u/ParfaitGlace]

Never gonna leads trip over themselves to say this at every opportunity

[u/ImaginaryWeather6164]

Fake photo
