NBA fans are excitedly chattering to a tweet claiming that Barack Obama should seriously be the NBA Commissioner instead of Adam Silver. Silver has definitely been trolled mercilessly ever since he stepped into the role, with many blaming him for the decreasing viewership of the game.
Meanwhile, Obama created waves when he attended the All-Star Game over the weekend, with his wife by his side. Obama was seen rubbing shoulders with ballers and also received a standing ovation for just attending the event, something which fans were quick to note.
“Obama should be NBA Commissioner. He’s the only one the players respect and the only with enough info to blackmail owners into compliance.” Mdotbrown tweeted.

“he respected them so much be broke a planned players strike at the height of BLM,” one fan recalled.
“He got Obamacare through a McConnell led minority at the height of the Tea Party, he can easily deal Ja Morant.” Another fan said.
“Obama as NBA commish and Charlie Baker as president of the NCAA. Welcome back, 2015,” one more fan stated.
Of course, there were many who felt otherwise for various reasons. Some felt that if Barack Obama does become the NBA commissioner someday, he might make a ton of enemies which might ruin his peace. Others felt that Obama does not have the required skillsets to run the league, even though he managed to run an entire country in the past for several years together.
NBA Fans Feel Barack Obama Will Make A Horrible Commissioner
There are numerous NBA fans who feel that Barack Obama will make a worse commissioner than Adam Silver currently is. Just because Obama has an incredible rapport with many ballers, him being a super-skilled commish is a pretty far-off idea according to some fans.
“They not replacing a Jewish head of a billionaire multinational company w a black man…especially with them booing avdija in the asg…they gon keep the decision making in-house,” a fan said.
“That’s a worse job than being POTUS. Why do that to him. Let him enjoy life.” one fan said.
“Obama is a f**king homosexual war criminal who whacked his chef. Yall think that n**ga is so cool bc he releases a playlist and likes basketball lmao black people so easy (face-palming emoji, laughing with tears emoji)” another fan said.
At the same time, it is clear that Barack Obama has plenty of popularity in the league and among ballers as well. With the sad shambles that is the NBA right now, it is also clear that fans are eagerly awaiting a change, and that too, soon.
