Debate the legacy and consequences of Barack Obama's presidency if you wish. There's one thing you can't deny about the former President, however: Obama knows ball.

The 44th President of the United States took a minute away from politics Sunday to promote the new Netflix docuseries Starting 5, a look inside the lives of five NBA players (Obama's Higher Ground media produced the project). The 44th president offered up his own starting five in the video released on social media, naming what he believes is the best hypothetical starting unit in NBA history. Usual suspects Michael Jordan and LeBron James are quickly named by Obama.
