Pelicans rookie Derik Queen on he would play 1-on-1 against if he could pick anyone from history: “Probably Barack [Obama]… I gotta beat him 11-0 but I gotta put some type of wager on it. Like you gotta let me come to the White House whenever.”
Try Abraham Lincoln, DQ. He’s playing for the OKC.
Old Abe was 6’4 and between 160-185 pounds, he’s going to be a beast on the glass
Who’s gonna tell him?
I know right? Obama’s good for 5-6 points at least in a 1 on 1
National Treasure
DQ is such a funny kid
Witty. Sharp as hell.
Ant: “who?”
“Hol on now, we not gon do that”
Paris 2024 Ant had so many funny moments
what percentage of r/nba could beat Obama 1-on-1
Obama a long range shooter, he loved them drone strikes
Only pops off against tanking teams though
Obama is 6”2 and has played quite a bit but is damn near elderly, I’d say about 50%
Way lower than that, the average NBA redditor is a basketball fan not necessarily player. Then factor in skill level of JV, Varsity, D1, 2 3, rec league. Vast majority of people barely touch a basketball. Then look at those that hoop on public courts and over half suck. I’d say less than 10% could beat him
I think it’s also pretty bold assumption from you to say a politician could beat 90% of adult males
With obama we at least have some video proof of him actually being quite decent at basketball.
He’s not just some politican in that sense.
And even still he would be competing with just “some redditors” and we know what most of us here are
Ive hooped since like 8 and im entering my mid 20s now, but if I played Obama in a 1v1 like 10 times hed probably win 5 of those. Would be super fun. Can never overestimate how much of an advantage being a better shooter is in a 1v1 despite him being old.
Also since I played against a lot of older men and retired hoopers with my dad as a teen I have learned to NEVER undersetimate old man and dad strengh. Obama has both. And these guys always have some crazy trick that youve never seen before or just a specific shot that over 40 years becomes automatic points from the midrange.
Dude, he’s fuckin 64 lol. He was a benchwarmer in high school and that was nearly 50 years ago.
Is said politician not himself an adult male? And I’d say the 10% assessment seems fair, probably the vast majority of this subreddit plays 0 basketball whatsoever.
He’s a pretty old adult male.
He actually plays basketball which I would bet the majority of people in here last touched a ball in gym class.
Fake news!!!!
I shoot hoops on a 8ft rim with my kids on my driveway!!
I can dunk on their scrawny asses too. #8ft rim
Like you gotta let me come to the White House whenever
I wish
Let him continue to think Obama is atill in office. sounds like a good headspace to be in
How do we tell em?
Michael Jordan mentality
I’m lagging bro
Heck, Trump won’t let obama come to the white house whenever

In his defense…. If Donald can run for a 3rd term so can Obama
About that White House access…..
CAN MODS UNSHADOW BAN ME OR CHECK MOD MAIL???
why does this read like a trump tweet
✅ 1. All caps
✅ 2. Non-sequitur
✅ 3. Unhinged
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
you aren’t shadow banned. we can see your comment lmao
What does being shadow banned on Reddit mean?
It means you can see your messages but others can’t see your messages.
Also above guy isn’t shadow banned.
I am when I post it gets automatically removed
That’s not a shadow ban.
Love DQ but yikes
Does he know Obama’s not president anymore?
“Against anyone from history”
Do you think if he said MLK he’d be playing against a cadaver?
No but if he does want to play against a cadaver he’ll have to wait til next year when they face AD and the Wizards
Really mid joke.
You think he doesn’t know who the current president is, what do you think of him LMAO
Dawg after that Timberwolves Egypt video I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them have no clue who the current president is 😭
The question said from history..he implying it’d be during his tenure bro..
Id prefer if my brain froze 2015 into my settings.
Yep. DQ still thinks Obama is president. Pretty crazy
Or that the person currently in there would never let Obama back in
