Michael Jordan, a day after showing Keegan Bradley he had lost none of his trash-talking edge, opined that Barack Obama lacked the game to make the former hoop star’s dream team.
Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods have wildly disparate assessments of Barack Obama’s golf game

“I’ve never played with Obama, but I would,” Jordan, speaking with Ahmad Rashad on Thursday, said, before taking a mulligan on his response. “But no, that’s OK, I’d take him out. He’s a hack and I’d be all day playing with him … I never said he wasn’t a great politician, I’m just saying he’s a shitty golfer.”
Tiger Woods, by the way, did not share his pal Jordan’s view of how POTUS made his way around the fairways and greens.
“He [Obama] hit the ball well and has got amazing touch,” Woods said after famously playing a round with the duffer-in-chief in 2013. “He can certainly chip and putt.”
Woods also differed with Jordan about Obama’s pace of play.
“He’s quick,” said Tiger.
As for MJ’s favorite playing partners, apparently the basketball Hall of Famer prefers going one-on-one, since The King was the only golfer to make His Airness’ short list.
