Presidential hopeful Barack Obama said on Sunday that if he wins this fall, he will install a basketball court at the White House. Obama played basketball in high school and still gets on the court regularly (including against SI's Scott Price).
We think a hoops court at the White House is a great idea. Here are some of the things we imagine we'd overhear if they had a court there right now:
10. I'd like to go one-on-one with that Scarlett Johansson, if you know what I mean
9. Stop hoggin the ball! Who are you, a Clinton?
8. Behind this line counts for three, and from past halfcourt you get Bush's approval rating
7. My jumper's more feathery than John Edwards' hair
6. You're a worse shot than Cheney
5. Come on, get up! Paul Pierce was more convincing than that
4. Man, you're dribbling more than McCain will be by a second term
3. I just need the "S" to win -- you've already got W-H-O-R-E
2. Stop yelling "Mission Accomplished" after every basket
1. Dude, you're draped all over me like a funky blue dress

You're putting up enough bricks to build a new wing on the White House.

There's no room on the court with 10 secret service officers surrounding each player.
