Barack Obama's High School Basketball Jersey To Be Sold At Auction For A Whopping $98,000

44’s number 23 about to hit the market and it expected to fetch almost a ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars. One million for the former President’s game worn jersey. For the right to have an article of clothing that has some of Obama’s sweat in it….allegedly. I am wondering what constitutes “game worn”. In an era rife with fraudulant memorabilia we really need an investigation to know if Obama actually wore this in a game.

If you’re in your 30s you probably remember this gif

I remember seeing this and thinking “oh damn, Obama is WET”. A smooooooth little lefty pull up J. Sure, he was wearing white New Balance shoes and sweatpants, but he’s a dad and wet is wet is wet. They don’t ask how, they ask how many and in one grainy video taken in a small gym during pick up Obama could answer “how many?” with “THREE”.

Then we elected him and we got a different story.

We thought we elected a smooth lefty shooter like Michael Redd, and instead we got Michael Scott

You watch that clip of Obama on the basketball court that he had built on White House grounds and it makes you wonder if he played basketball at all. I decided to investigate(google) to see what kind of numbers Obama put up in HS and the results were shocking

Not one single box score on the internet. Not one roster. No record of Obama playing High School basketball at all. Just one old yearbook photo of Obama on the JV in 1977

Junior Varsity ? Hmmm

There is no empirical proof that Obama even played basketball. We don’t know if he even wore that jersey in a game. I challenge and implore the former President to produce a box score or a newspaper clipping from 1979 in Hawaii that details his game. No hearsay. No conjecture. No fuzzy memories. The memorabilia collectors of this country deserve to know the truth. They deserve to see the proof. #ReleaseTheStatSheet
