Who but Michael Jordan could get away with throwing shade at President Obama’s golf game so cavalierly?

In an interview last week with Back9Networks’ Ahmad Rashad, the veteran sportscaster asked the NBA legend and Charlotte Hornets owner who would comprise his "dream" golf foursome. A pretty innocuous question, right?

Well as you can see, Jordan, an avid golfer, got kind of lost in thought after starting the foursome with Arnold Palmer, choosing Obama, then taking it back on account of Obama’s "s*****" golf game. For the video impaired (emphasis added):

The President appeared on Wisconsin radio station WJMR on Monday where His Airness’s remarks came up.

"Mike and I, we know each other but I’ve never played golf with him," Obama said. "Michael wasn’t very well informed about this, I think he might’ve just been trying to give Ahmad an extra ratings boost on his show."

"But there is no doubt that Michael is a better golfer than I am," Obama added. "Of course if I was playing twice a day for the last 15 years, then that might not be the case."

Previously, Obama has faced criticism of his golf game for slow, deliberate play. Well, Jordan went there, and then just totally rolled the President.
