US PRESIDENT Barack Obama has never been one to follow the well trodden path.
As the first African American president in US history, Obama could also become the first former political front man to own an NBA team.
According to US press secretary Josh Earnest, Obama is already considering his options post-retirement, with the possibility of NBA ownership a realistic passion.

When questioned on whether he would actually pursue that passion, it wasn’t ruled out. “Potentially,” he said. “Under the right circumstances.”
The 44th president of the United States has expressed interest in the venture before, and is a fan of his home town Chicago Bulls. Speaking with GQ Magazine in November last year, Obama said he would “absolutely” want to be in part ownership of a team in the NBA.
“I have fantasised about being able to put together a team and how much fun that would be,” he said. “I think it’d be terrific.”
While he may have the desire to move into franchise ownership, questions have arisen surrounding Obama’s financial capacity to purchase a team.

Do people think the resident gets paid millions or something? As cool as it would be, there's no way President Obama could buy an NBA team

With a yearly salary of US$400,000 as president and a reported current net worth of US$12.2 million, any part-ownership would be on an incredibly small scale.
Since last year, the average net worth for a franchise in the NBA has increased 13 per cent to US$1.25 billion, according to Forbes.
This makes outright ownership well out of Obama’s realistic price range — he would have to give up everything he owns just to purchase 1.2 per cent of the average team.

To put it in perspective, Steve Ballmer, the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, is the most wealthy NBA owner, with a net worth of US$25 billion.
For now at least, NBA ownership for Obama may have to remain a pipe dream.

who the eff cares what this killer does when he leaves office > > > >

he better pray that there is no political change in the USA as there is developing in Britain now, and threatening to take place elsewhere.  if that happens he can expect to spend the rest of his skunt life in Jail along with some infamous company like lil Bush and Billary

if a truly nationalist and progressive american politics/government arises all of them so will be charged and jailed..if not executed in some cases like Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and Obama too..Henry Kissinger, Condolezza Rice and Susan Rice, Samantha Power and Victoria Nuland, Eric Holder and now Loretta Lynch

look at ting here developing!

stop the childishness chin.  this is life and death...not jokes.

Obama kills people extra judicially every day in his assassination program.  don't you realize Obama is LAW UNTO HIMSELF that he can do and does any dam thing he wants to do in the world ::confused::

the man is a criminal, a killer and agent for the most murderous, huge and comprehensive program of social control ever... that seeks to pacify the world under american oligarchic domination ::confused::

in that future you and I have no chance, no place and space.  its elimination for us.  they will kill off all such as you and me.  you are not exempt because you may be fair skin.  you will be eliminated because you are ordinary.

and in a world in which you are not needed the ordinary constitutes a revolutionary factor the rich cannot afford to tolerate..will not tolerate at all..will eliminate.

such as you and skimmy think this is some kind of joke.  it is not.  you can read off British history but can you reads off the actions of the rich over the same time frame and more,  to try understand who they are and what they are capable off ::confused:: ::confused:: ::confused::

that's right..the same people with the slave traded, world wars for profit in which 100 million people died.  they did that and worse like atomic bombs on Japan and did not even bat an eyelash, so terrible their hearts are

that is what you dealing with and you are talking 'come on' about this stone hearted killer called Obama.

at least the ordinary British woke up enough to see the horror that the EU intended for them and got out.  when will you and skimmy wake up

there is a drone hovering over your house.....careful! 

he cant afford it
