New York, February 9 (ANI): President Barack Obama has been praised for many things, including his team spirit and enthusiasm in the basketball court.

According to former basketball pro Ernie Grunfeld, the President of Basketball Operations for the Washington Wizards, America's first African-American President is no less than a `warrior' when it comes to hitting the rim.

"He''s a team player [with] a good feel for the game," the New York Post quoted him as telling Men's Journal.

"(He''s) a solid weekend warrior," he added.

Chicago business exec Marty Nesbitt, who dribbles with Obama, further hailed the former Illinois Senator for his remarkable crossover, adding: "He''s left, and he goes hard right and then left." (ANI)
