President Barack Obama’s final day in office is this Thursday, and his departure from the presidency has occasioned a lot of looks back at his time as America’s 44th Commander-in-Chief. GQ published an especially good one Thursday morning in the form of an oral history of Obama’s fondness for pickup basketball.
Would you believe that it features Florida Gators legend Joakim Noah getting mad about Obama trash-talking his shot and resolving to D up the sitting President? You should, because that happened, according to Obama confidant David Axelrod:
[The President] ticked off Joakim Noah because the president was trash-talking him about his shot, [which is], shall we say, unorthodox.
