NBA Stars as Politicians

The Hillary Clinton’s

Traits: Can’t perform under pressure. Lack of balls

Summary: Considered great players but can’t seem to get over the hump. Their playoff performances are less than stellar and some might even consider them pussies.

Players: Dirk Nowitzki, Vince Carter, Tracy Mcgrady

The Mitt Romney’s

Traits: All flash, no substance.

The Ron Paul’s

Traits: Unpredictable, Say crazy things

Summary: Players of this ilk might drop 20 and 10 one night and follow it up with a stinker the next game. They might start a fight with a guy and have drinks with them after the game. They hate the system of the NBA and argue that Stern and the officials are out to get them.

Players: Rasheed Wallace, Ron Artest

The Mike Huckabee’s

Traits: Nice guys, not big time stars

Summary: Every once in awhile these players suprise you with a win, but overall, they are better suited for the sidekick role. As a sidekick though, they are dangerous enough to take you all the way.
