"[Michelle] asked her big brother to check [Obama] out on the court... As they played at a local gym, Robinson discovered the new boyfriend was a smooth athlete who -- fittingly -- tended to fake right and go left. Obama displayed none of the trash-talking or selfishness that often comes with pick-up ball. His quiet confidence, his team-first attitude -- Robinson liked all of that. But there was something even better. 'I was like, all right, this guy's going to pass the basketball to me every time because I'm Michelle's brother,' he recalled. 'He didn't. He just played. It was great.'" - Casey Muller

Casey's grandfather, a lifelong basketball nut, was over the moon about this article when I gave it to him to read. - Michael Muller
