And that is a great quote, perhaps one we overlooked. I'm thinking maybe... Antonio McDyess? Certainly a man obscure in his labor, not often celebrated, but gets the job done every night. PS - We did forget to label the last two players. Shaq is indeed our 6th man. Thanks Claude. And that is a great quote, perhaps one we overlooked. I’m thinking maybe… Antonio McDyess?

Very creative thinking, and full of passion for the game. It's an ode to Obama as much as to basketball. There's one line in Obama's inaugural address that bears mention, in this context, maybe to inspire you guys to name an "All Obama Sixth Man" who doesn't get as much publicity as the "stars" but who nevertheless gets the job done and makes a valuable contribution every night: "Rather, it has been the risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things — some celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom." See what you done did? Got us going on this too! :-) Claude Johnson Baller-In-Chief.com This is a great post. Very creative thinking, and full of passion for the game.
